I submitted &lt;a href=&quot;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;simonsarris.com&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;simonsarris.com&lt;/a&gt; because of my ridiculous background (a town that builds with CSS animations, and birds that appear to have no set path done with pure CSS).&lt;p&gt;The logic behind the little birds: they are DIVs with CSS animated on a cubic path up-and-down, while their ::after is getting animated on a different cubic path left-to-right. The result of 2 separate axis animations: They do a loose figure-8 path that&amp;#x27;s different each pass.&lt;p&gt;That CSS code is here: &lt;a href=&quot;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;github.com&amp;#x2F;simonsarris&amp;#x2F;site-simonsarris&amp;#x2F;blob&amp;#x2F;master&amp;#x2F;src&amp;#x2F;components&amp;#x2F;layout.css#L159&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;github.com&amp;#x2F;simonsarris&amp;#x2F;site-simonsarris&amp;#x2F;blob&amp;#x2F;master&amp;#x2F;...&lt;/a&gt;&lt;p&gt;I am currently trying to make my site background considerably more ridiculous by re-implementing in canvas, with lots of interaction and a night&amp;#x2F;day sequence, and custom buildings. The rebuild so far is open source here: &lt;a href=&quot;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;simonsarris.github.io&amp;#x2F;simeville&amp;#x2F;&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;simonsarris.github.io&amp;#x2F;simeville&amp;#x2F;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;p&gt;Click the button to build a town. Drag the sun down to see night time (and the constellations). I need to spend a lot of time working on the art, but I&amp;#x27;m not a very good artist yet.</text></comment>

Don&amp;#x27;t get me wrong, they are great at what they do, but seeing these curated list of sites definitely reminds me of the late 90&amp;#x27;s where directories were still a thing.&lt;p&gt;†: ie. lazy.</text></comment>
