A couple of days ago, I found this video about the website with 1 million checkboxes. It came out during June (4 months ago) and I didn't really think much of it, except marvel at the optimization.
The video then revealed that a bunch of teens took decided to create art on it, with checkboxes. I felt like I was missing out. I immediately hopped onto their discord server and looked around. The owner was a pretty nice and active person, everyone there seemed to be quite friendly. They told me it wasn't possible to create art with the checkboxes anymore since the API had shut down. I was a bit disappointed, but soon-
I found out that there's a new page with 1 billion checkboxes. Obviously, I went on and decided to take apart all the javascript. It was a vite.js web-page. It was all obsfucated, so I went to the network requests. It was connected to a websocket and I saw that each request was a bunch of binary messages sent to a websocket
