   this is using a <squirm-inal> Web Component from 2021: github.com/zachleat/squ...

   2021-vintage Web Components are React 17-era. No big refactors or rewrites required.

   @zachleat So you count how often it gets clicked vs. visits to the page?

   1. Zach Leatherman Mastodon 30 min later

      @lennybacon the toggle is for me and only me

      1. Daniel Fisher(lennybacon) Mastodon 32 min later

         @zachleat But I can see it! And I could toggle it. But I do not want to! Really not.

         1. Zach Leatherman Mastodon 35 min later

            @lennybacon for the record, it doesn’t persist anywhere or do anything other than an animation

            1. Daniel Fisher(lennybacon) Mastodon 37 min later

               @zachleat Awwww… really, I would be so curious how many ppl click it.

                     @lennybacon I’ll add that later after I raise a seed round for this first

                        @zachleat And it can only be enabled/used if I subscribe to the premium features of your blog!

                        This is how I learned it from the best!

    Thought process:
    1. why would you add the mode in the first place
    2. Hang on this is Zach
    3. I wonder what it actually does
    4. Heh, nice

       4. Oh no you can’t turn it off once you turn it on!!
       5. Knowing Zach (and AI features), I bet that’s intentional…

    For extra realism, enable it at random every few weeks and give the user 3 "opt-out credits" per year

    I dont know how much time you put into this Zach

    but it was absolutely worth it.

    1. Zach Leatherman Bluesky 22 hr later

       not much time at all! I had an old web component that I repurposed that progressively renders text nodes in HTML github.com/zachleat/squ...

       similar to work here www.zachleat.com/web/queue-co... and used on your-year-on.netlify.com
