the ever blinking eye

the blink element used to blink text. no longer supported in chrome, despite being a staple of what I think of when I imagine the 90s internet aesthetic

                        ___.-------.___
                    _.-' ___.--;--.___ `-._
                 .-' _.-'  /  .+.  \  `-._ `-.
               .' .-'      |-|-o-|-|      `-. `.
              (_ «O__      \  `+'  /      __O» _)
                `--._``-..__`._|_.'__..-''_.--'
                      ``--._________.--''
      

the biggest small and the smallest big

the big and smallelements still work in chrome, but they've been marked as deprecated. these two tags right here could be the last of their kind...

curiously, we've also managed to find the biggest small and the smallest big you've ever seen!

(no, your screen isn't dirty — the big is on the right and it's that tiny smudge!)

the broken record key generator

the keygen tag used to be used to generate a public/private keypair to auth users, but as you might imagine no one really wants to deal with that, not the least your uncle bob who just wants to send auntie alice some postcards from his trip.

we've found a keygen in miraculous condition though: while no other keygens survive, this one can still consistently produce keys

although it only makes one, so it's not very secure

bonus: failed experiments

there are yet some tags that we have failed to revive... though supported by modern browsers, these tags have curiously stopped working. presenting: an underline that, well, does not line, alongside a strikethrough that's struck out.

we've also found remnants of other elements to round out the alphabet a bit. t seems to be a tag that would trim text, and v a tag that would vandalize it? and, well, the html designers must've thought it necessary to make a red tag r as well.

I wonder if we'll find the other 21 missing alphabet tags?
