I dont understand the last bit where hi hid text message in sub pixels. How did that work?

The rationale is that you can control the position of the visual parts that make a letter by changing the color of the larger pixel.

I’m the original millitext creator and I’m very happy to see that someone made a new web-based generator. I wrote my original one in Ruby in 2008 and then stopped writing Ruby soon after that, leaving it to decay as the language’s ecosystem evolved.

It’s what might happen if you render ClearType text at 1px wide.
