Unrelated, but since I see that the author posted this to HN: for a reader like me who likes to select text / fidget with mouse clicks as I read, this website is a nightmare.

I don't know, I feel like my OCD clicking has finally been rewarded appropriately. Usually it just results in navigating to weird places via links that are hidden in the formatting. But this time it was delightful! And I was rewarded with a game!

Glad to see I'm not alone! I removed it from the articles pages, but you can still go wild on the index page. BTW my high score is 1626

You might want to try what I do: run JS in allowlist mode:

By default, I don't run into these problems and save a lot of compute!

I actually like the creativity

Yeah my bad, this is a fun effect for the landing, didn't think much of it when publishing the first article, fixing now, thanks for feedback!

Has it been fixed? What was the effect, I'm so curious now.

Yes, disabled on the heavy text pages, still present on the home page!

Oh, haha! I actually love shit like this, but ya, not in a blog as I'm also a mouse-fidgetter. You could tone activating it down a bit by only activating it on a quick click and not at all if there is selected text [/END advice-no-one-asked-me-for]

Omg the effect gives me physical jitters
