Cutting-edge made tangible.
Every API, every primitive, every browser feature powering lucaslib.com — running live. No demos hidden behind a slide deck. Open DevTools and inspect.
Volumetric golden orb
Real-time WebGL bloom emulation via three additive sphere shells. Same engine powering /aether's hero. Resizes to viewport, capped 60fps.
Scroll-driven animations
Native CSS scroll progress. No JS scroll listeners, no IntersectionObserver. The gold bar fills as you scroll the inner panel; items fade in as they enter view.
View Transitions API
Native browser-level page transitions. Click any internal link from this page — Chrome cross-fades the whole document like a single-page app. Zero framework router.
:has() parent selector
A row styles itself based on whether its child checkbox is checked. Used to be impossible without JS. Now: single CSS line.
text-wrap: balance
Browser auto-balances headline line lengths. No more orphan words on the last line. Same as Apple's marketing site — but native CSS.
Web Speech API
The browser reads an Aether affirmation aloud. Native voice — no API keys, no costs, no servers. Works offline. Same primitive backing the /aether voice mode.
Web Audio + analyser
Generates the Aether 528Hz "love frequency" hum in-browser, runs it through an analyser node, and visualizes the spectrum live. Zero audio assets shipped.
Typewriter stream
Variable-speed character stream with a blinking caret. The same effect AI products use to feel "alive." No library — pure rAF loop.
Web Share + Vibration
Native OS share sheet on mobile. Haptic feedback on Android. Same primitives /aether and /journal use to push to social without third-party widgets.
The full stack, on this page.
Everything below is shipping in production right now. No build step. No bundler. No framework. Just modern web platform features cached on edge.
