Title takes "Our" instead of "My", and the body follows it: fifteen instances of
first-person singular are now plural. The second "Our" in the title became "the"
to avoid the doubling.
Swept the same judgment language out of it. "I like it", "the obvious thing",
"The obvious suspect", "First gotcha worth knowing", "What I would actually tell
you", "Why I care about the boring version". A report states what happened and
lets the reader rank it. Kept the honest method reporting ("we got it wrong
twice"), which is evidence rather than editorial.
Swept the other posts too and deliberately changed nothing in them.
such-moon-launch-release uses "I" for a real authorship claim, "the very first
game I ever wrote", which becomes false as "we". The two hits in
vegan-iq-data-pipeline are an idiom and a quoted hypothetical. Site copy under
src/ came back clean.
NEW UPDATE. The post described a splash that no longer exists, so it now carries
the replacement and what measuring it turned up.
The pillar signature replaced the Cherenkov splash. Making it advance on its own
surfaced a defect that had been shipping: CLS 0 to 1.0, caused not by the new
animation but by the splash having always been a min-h-[100svh] block in document
flow that only became fixed on the way out. CLS excuses shifts within 500ms of
input, so clickers never contributed it and the headline 100 was accurate only
for them. Reduced-motion and returning-session visitors, who never click, scored
74 with CLS 1.0 against production.
Numbers are measured, not recalled: mobile 97 (LCP 1.2s, CLS 0.013, TBT 20ms),
desktop 98 (LCP 1.0s, CLS 0.005, TBT 0ms), run against production this week. The
reduced-motion path is 98 where it was 74.
- bento-grid: the Occupy Wallets tile is height-constrained (object-contain)
to ~240px wide, but sizes='33vw' made Next serve a 750w file into a 241px
slot (~62 KiB waste). Cap the sizes hint to the real display size.
- blog: add the 'a month later' chapter to the animated-hero post — the
Turnstile 450KB below-the-fold weight, deferred, mobile 75 -> 93 / desktop 99.
- Monitor terminal: ~4 blinks, type 'such', backspace, ~4 blinks, fade.
- Rewrite the blog post so it tells the accurate story end to end (not an update):
the LCP breakdown showed render delay with TTFB 0 and a free main thread, so it
was neither the network nor JavaScript. It was render-blocking CSS, fixed by
inlining the stylesheet. Server components / dropping framer are kept as honest
supporting steps, not the gate. Swap the architecture figure for a CSS
critical-path figure; mobile now a steady 100.
- New post 'My Animated Splash Was Tanking Our Mobile PageSpeed Score' (draft:false):
the LCP investigation, the data-URI diagnostic, and the real fix (shrink the
use-client boundary / server-render the static parts). Two SVG diagrams.
- Such Moon Launch now live on iOS: App Store link wired on the apps and product
pages.
- Splash is now a one-time intro per session: once entered (scroll or click) a
refresh skips it, so you can't scroll back up into it mid-page.
- Preload the splash logo <img> (the mobile LCP element) at high priority.
- Draft blog post on keeping an animated hero without tanking Core Web Vitals
(draft: true, for review).
