Thomas Park writes about web and design projects, including CSS experiments, user scripts, academic publishing in HTML and CSS, and a Mac user trying Ubuntu.
HN links it mostly for the author's own projects, like PubCSS, GlyphSearch, and the iTunes album effect, which commenters find interesting.
Yes, the score became red according to hnslapdown [1]. It has happened to the previous rounds, and we suspect those who can downvote stories don't feel these updates have merit. So be it. We do enjoy the feedback from readers that we receive from the brief time they appear on the home page, so as long as they will permit us to share the updates here, we will continue doing so.

Except there does seem to be one old duplicate of the exact `http://crapcha.com/` one. Perhaps it allows a re-post after enough time has elapsed.
Since the article has no examples that show how this worked, here's a CSS simulation of two fold-ins for anyone who hasn't had the pleasure of folding the back page of their Mad Magazine: https://thomaspark.co/2020/06/the-mad-magazine-fold-in-effect-in-css/
(Note the bottom copy before/after as well.)
I made this to scratch an (admittedly very mild) itch I've had for some time. But I'm betting some of you have had the same itch.
I posted some details about GlyphSearch here: http://thomaspark.me/2013/11/glyphsearch-improving-the-search-for-icon-fonts/

1. There’s an xkcd for that
2. Simpsons did it
