- Why did you use ChatGPT to write your submission text? I can't speak for everyone, but it makes me much less likely to check out your project as I have less faith in it.

- Participated in the first two JS1ks. Thanks for bringing this back! Having some nostalgia. I can't believe this is 15 years old already: https://js1k.com/2010-first/demo/688
Thanks for keeping the JS demoscene alive!
- Given the amount of features built-in to modern browsers, there should be some very impressive things possible in 1K.
There have been a few cool Javascript things in 140 characters: https://www.dwitter.net/
- This is great! I remember taking part in the first JS1K competition. For some reason, I wrote most of the code semi "optimised" before running it through a "proper" optimiser. Good times!

- It is unclear if it must be canvas or if using the Dom is allowed.
- Happy to see another year!
I think it'd be nice if the rest of the shims were dropped too. "1024 bytes of JavaScript. No libraries. No frameworks. Just raw code". Year by year it's getting easier to do more in the same amount of bytes. Last year's 1st place winner was a plain HTML entry which implemented its own canvas. 8 of all 148 entries 2020-2024 have used the shader shim, fewer than used the deprecated p5js shim in 2020. The categories/category winners are cool but it should be based on what approach was used rather than which framework they started with. E.g. "Sand and Water" is the "js winner" solely because it used the shim and "Splash Dash" didn't but really Splash Dash won both overall and won the js canvas category too, it just did it without the free bytes from the canvas framework.
- Did that site just got "slashdotted"? Because none of the examples want to load atm.
- Anyone looking for ideas should definitely check out:
