This is wonderful. I would love to set this as my desktop and screensaver if that were possible.

Thank you! You know you are the 2nd person to mention a screensaver, that is enough motivation for me to build it! Seems like it shouldn't be that hard, I will look into it soon.

I just was going to post same, so make it a 3rd!

I did not anticipate having a screensaver project on my bingo card on this day in 2026 but it is now so!

I am guessing that most people would want to see the Sun videos for a screen saver, maybe a random wavelength on each screensaver instance? I will make an opensource repo to it that works on desktop-anything with a little GUI for user settings/preferences.

EDIT: Or did you all mean basically replicating the site as it is but as like a dashboard screensaver? Thank you for all the feedback!

I meant the whole page with the four sections, but maybe also enable any specific part as well would be cool.

Hmm I will think on this. An open source desktop widget could recreate the screensaver function, triggering on X minutes of inactivity, then minimize upon any user activity. I'll play around and see!
