This isn't a website coding itself its a routine of CSS animations and javascript.

That is very impressive self-advertisement. I watched the whole thing.

Came here to post my favorite part: "At this time, I am busy. I am happy to entertain proposals for later work but immediate availability is scarce."

Slightly related - a website that displays it's own source code:

The trick here I didn't know about is that a `<style>` element's default `display` is `none` and you can show its contents by changing that.

Watched the whole thing - very cool.

Totally cool, thanks for building.

I thought it was gonna be like an experiment I did a while ago, a webapp that can edit and deploy itself. Ended up with prototype[0] but would love to see the possibilities in a more polished version, and thought this submission was it!

Why is the transition property prefixed with - webkit- only? Immediately this starts off on an incompatible, vendor-locked foot.

Edit: seems all of the properties are Webkit- prefixed. :/

It seems to use the prefix for the browser you're visiting the site in (I see -moz- properties). Fine, but I'm not convinced the prefixes were required at all for quite a few of the properties.

It's legacy. This dates back to April 2015 when there were still some reasons to use prefixed properties. Rather than list all of them in css - which would have been ugly - I choose the one useful to your browser.

What's even more impressive than Sam's web site (which has been online for years) is that he and his two Hong Kong-based co-founders bootstrapped Bitmex, a multi-billion dollar company that handled over US$1 trillion of trading volume over the past year with almost no investment.

When they launched in 2014, no one on HN cared! 2 points and 1 sarcastic comment. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8750453
