Interactive Features
SYNTHI — Audio Synthesizer (synthi/)
Full Web Audio API drum machine and synthesizer. Key files:
synthi/index.js— core engine (~36 KB): oscillators, drum synthesis, sequencersynthi/js/synthi-audio.js— audio processing modulesynthi/generator.html— parameter generator UIsynthi/rec.html— recording interface
Sound transformed into visual forms using oscilloscope techniques — this is the core artistic concept of the project.
p5.js Generator (pixel-p5.html)
Interactive sketch generator with user-controllable speed and quality parameters. Source sketch logic in js/pixel-p5.js.
WebGL / GLSL Visualizer (yohei-glsl.html)
Real-time GLSL shader-based visual renderer. Source in js/yohei-glsl.js.
NFT Viewer (viewer.html)
Grid/card layout for browsing both NFT collections. Includes filtering and minting links.
Styling
Design system — dark theme with glassmorphism:
- Background: radial gradient
#121623→#050608 - Accent: cyan
#00c4ff - Text: light gray
#f5f5f5 - Glassmorphic panels:
backdrop-filter: blur(...), semi-transparent backgrounds
CSS layers (load order):
- Bootstrap 4.4.1
beautifuljekyll.css(theme base)bootstrap-social.csspygment_highlights.css(code blocks)/assets/css/custom-styles.css(project-specific overrides)
Custom styles include:
- Page title sizing (
3rem) - Italic centered tagline
- Card hover effects (
4px border-radius) - Post preview max-width (
900px)
Multilingual Support
_data/ui-text.yml provides UI strings in 40+ languages (for comment system labels, buttons, etc.). Controlled by the lang front matter field on pages/posts.
Notable Constraints
.envexists at repo root — holds X API credentials and OpenSea API key for local tooling only. Never commit it (gitignored). See.env.examplefor required keys.- No npm/Node.js — adding JS dependencies requires either bundling manually or loading via CDN and updating the HTML directly.
- Image assets are large (~47 MB of images in
assets/img/). Avoid committing uncompressed images. - Beautiful Jekyll upstream — the repo has
https://github.com/daattali/beautiful-jekyll.gitset as upstream. Theme changes should be reconciled carefully to avoid merge conflicts. oldviewer.html.BACKUP— stale backup file in root; not served by Jekyll but present in the repo.
