Yes, it's worse for screenreaders, I listed that next to other drawbacks which I acknowledged. I don't intend to apply this method anywhere else due to these drawbacks, because accessibility matters.

It's a proof of concept, and maybe a starting point for somebody else who wants to tackle this problem.

Can LLMs detect and decode the text? Yes, but I'd wager for the case that data cleaning doesn't happen to the extent that it decodes the text after scraping.

Show HN: Simulating coin flips like Pokemon TCG Pocket using Three.js

tilschuenemann — Sat, 15 Feb 2025 14:17:24 +0000

I've wondered how Pokemon TCG Pocket renders their interactive coin flips.

Coin flips get determined server-side, but rendered client-side. My pondering in detail: How do you animate a coin, that is supposed to lands on heads?

Never having written a single line of JS before, I decided to tackle this as my first front-end project.

There is also a 'hypermodern' cookie cutter template for python projects - I've used it several times now and it works mostly out of the box:
