Nice site!

From add_on.css,

    /* 
 player specific positioning of the displayed 'frequency spectrum', etc 
 
 NOTE: the reflection and position handling is a fucking nightmare: The Chome idiots
 like to change their dumbshit implementation with almost every minor release.. each
 time breaking what had to be used before.. bunch of clueless morons! 
 (Their latest achievement: reflection suddenly disapears (border and all) AS SOON as 
 JavaScript draws to the contained canvas. Of course they are also too dumb to use 
 regular font definitions anymore.)

Had a hard time getting it to work in Firefox, now it seems to be down as I'm trying to load it in Chrome. I'm confused, the little sliders in canvas look fine, why would Chrome change anything about what shows up inside a <canvas> tag other than potentially messing with the scaling?

[edit] ah, I see, there are several canvases that are supposed to horizontally align. Yeh. Just take over the whole damn page and draw it on a single canvas, I'd say. Flash Player 2023.

It's working perfectly fine for me in FF, tried both desktop and mobile.
Ha, I remember how easily I achieved a similar effect in Flash more than 10 years ago. It was easy because it was built as a web application platform from the beginning, not a word processor with some crazy macros bolted on top. But I am sometimes amazed at what people do with a platform so constrained.

Yep, it's been this many years and the modern CSS/JS still hasn't caught up with Flash.
