It’s a filter derived from the first SVG element on the page.

Check out the page in the web inspector! Simple websites have the bonus of being easy to poke at.

We used init functions at my last job and got to enjoy a lot of the other benefits of C++. Lambdas, templates, std::variant, the STL, the list goes on.
