Re:Help I Accidentally a Wigglegram on Monday June 22, 2026 @02:22PM (#48633906)
There's an additional "post processing" step that the article doesn't mention -- which is alignment of the images within the wiggle.

In the example images (which others have noted are stable horizontally) - This alignment gives some control over the parallax and has a very big effect on the quality of the 3D and the ultimate experience of the image.

If you put your mouse, for example, over the marlboro pack that is most directly facing the camera, you'll see it is perfectly stable relative to the screen (despite looking like it's wiggling). In the second image, this point is at the eye of the singer.

On the accidental images, which are also mostly not stable horizontally, this type of alignment can also have a very big impact. An extreme example of how this plays out can be seen in this image - which for example -- locks onto the face

(NB - like 12 years ago I used to do make a lot of wiggle images -- including spending some time making wigglegrams out of a set of 3D images of the 1906 San Francisco Earthquake & Fire -- https://thesanfranciscowiggle.com/)

chiply's series of posts on the site about VOMPECCCC is a really interesting look into:

  - A fantastic UI pattern and it's wide applicability
  - Building in a modular way
  - How emacs provides a fantastic substrate for packages to fit together

(VOMPECCC => Vertico, Orderless, Marginalia, Prescient, Embark, Consult, Corfu, Cape)
I can't more highly recommend this book for getting into the headspace of the era a lot of these recordings.

11 chapters about DIY / Punk / Hardcore bands of the 1980s underground scene.

(The audiobook in particular is fun as it's read by musicians influenced by the artists in their respective chapters)

Sort of... the SVG is referencing `svgscript.js` which is being fetched from the server (https://jon.recoil.org/blog/2025/12/svgscript.js)
Actually - BOTH videos in the screenshot are ads - so there are zero videos on the homescreen already

The artist who is playing at the in person celebration event this week (Sam Reider) is great! That's exciting
Just chiming in to say that akkartik is doing really interesting stuff and it’s worth diving deep on this site.

Oooh!! I've played a bunch of glicol.org - but had no idea about the js bindings!

Might I recommend you put a link to `glicol.js.org` from your main site. I might have given this a go instead of tone.js on a recent project.

Author here --

I wish I could say I was that clever. It's absolutely an accident lol -- gonna file it under "DO NOT FIX"

Does anyone else find it to be odd that in all of the bedroom diagrams, they include an animal skin rug?
