Most of this is similar to what https://enroute.sh already did scaling Git. https://enroute.sh/blog/everyone-is-doing-git-on-s3-wrong

At this point GitHub should likely just try snatching the Enroute guys :)

N.b the slow sun rise with the parallaxing hills on scroll is a great bit of 2000's-style CSS.

It might be more of a send up to Firewatch these days: https://www.firewatchgame.com/

But I'm still waiting on someone to revive 2008's darling, resizing parallaxing: https://web.archive.org/web/20080302013806/https://www.think...

If you like a CSS sunrise over some hills, you'll probably like my friend's website [1] and write-up [2].

The end result has hardcore color banding but I love how much thought went into this.

The old-school way to deal with banding is with noise, I wonder if a semitransparent overlay of white noise would help here. Thanks for the link!
