I thought it was cool, and then after Z's it turned into symbols and now I'm not sure if the blue in my mouth is locally grown or elephant sized

This is bad and wrong and wrong and bad.

I need to track them down and hurth them.

Also I got to E before the motion sickness kicked in.

It's like the Eames' Powers of Ten movie, restricted to a keyboard.

I guess we know what the answer is now.

Oh God, it's Hofstadter's "Holism? Reductionism? Mu!" all over again. Letters in letters in letters in letters in letters in letters in letters in letters in letters in letters in letters in letters...

I liked how at first it confused my eyes, but after a few letters I knew where to look to see the next tiny one when it is still nearly a nice line version, but then still later you can lean back and see three or four letters at once in different scales.

Don't you mean 'San Francisco'?

Is it a trick or is there an equation that computes from P to Q? Gotta be a javascript/css trick.

Well I liked it.

It's cool, but it definitely made me feel sort of nauseous.

So by the time you get to Z, the letter A is the size of the entire known universe?

I can foresee some nightmare kerning and spacing issues.

Pretty trippy!

Is my brain broken or does it skip straight from "W" to "Y"? Which is ironic, since "X" is a letter that basically zooms itself.

I like the ouroboros element.

Very cool.

I, too, briefly fell off the path somewhere right in there, so it's either intrinsically confusing or it happened something like you say.

It disagrees with my brain.

Don't quite know why, but it felt backwards to me.

The visuals and character development were great but the plot was totally predictable.

I was OK for a while, but then the Ls in the Ks turned into Game of Life gliders and... it's so peaceful here, with the philosopher-crabs reciting the nine billion fonts of God in monochrome rainbows.

No! If you zoom to U+1F422 you'll end up in an endless loop.

I can confirm that 'X' is there, though it took me a few times watching it to see them since I was so entranced by the time it got there.
