This is cool but was hard to read because I think it lacks some context... so "one of my friends" made a site where anyone could toggle a checkbox on a large canvas of checkboxes?
And you (author?) set up a script to automatically toggle a bunch of them at a at a time to anime a short video of Jake Gyllenhaal?
Was this done via rendering the site and toggling appropriate coordinates, or through an endpoint/API?

author here! I mostly assumed the reader had some context for this blog around omcb since it had gone viral and I posted it in circles already familiar, but looking back that wasn't a great decision. I'll likely revise this blog soon as there's a few other things I thought I didn't explain well. thanks for your feedback!

Not to pile on, but I wasn't expecting your "what's this" link to be a magnet link to Discord. Could be worth specifying that, or at least using a pop-out/magnet icon beside it.

Ah I thought I was gonna see the sexy Gyllenhaal in checkboxes. Is there a public page of that?

the multiplayer version is offline now and you couldn't see it without converting the underlying bytes to the 1000x1000 canvas. I do have a timelapse of the full time it was running though: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K8zg6cKxHFs
