Drops so far:

- relearn — Relearn How to Think. An article, shipped like a drop: the reading page is one HTML file, the text ships as article.md. Thesis: AI changed what's possible faster than we changed our intuition about what's possible. 5 min read, or 7 minutes read aloud. https://ante.design/relearn/
- glass — jelly glass. Four glass bodies in one fragment shader: a button that spawns three droplets through a smooth-union neck. Springs only, no keyframes.
- pixel — pixel scroll. Images materialise out of pixel blocks at the bottom of the viewport while you scroll. One WebGL canvas, no libraries.
- after — After Good. An article. AI compresses the time it takes to reach yesterday's standard; that doesn't make speed the new standard, it makes yesterday's standard worthless. On why AI slop looks generic because we gave AI a generic world to learn from, and what to do with the time. 7 min read, or 12 minutes read aloud. https://ante.design/after/
- stepper — jelly stepper. A stepper made of liquid: the value rides a wheel behind the glass, and the minus and plus are droplets born out of the body and swallowed back into it at the ends of the range. One fragment shader, springs only, no keyframes.
- scramble — scramble scroll. Text resolves out of flickering glyphs on the way into the viewport and dissolves on the way out. The scroll is the only clock.
- depth — depth scroll
- slider — jelly slider. The glass button on a rail: a scale of thin vertical strokes, lit behind the body, faint ahead of it. The body sits on the scale like a bead on a wire and is dragged along it; the value clicks past every slot on a wheel behind the glass, 0 to 10. Let go and it snaps to the nearest slot and overshoots. Springs only, no keyframes.
