Teknium handed a dithering JS library to Hermes Agent and asked it to build a page of demos for lesser-known stylistic web libraries. Twenty minutes later it produced Uncommon Web, which he has kept expanding: 462 live demos covering 425 libraries across 23 families, with zero CDN requests — every card runs the real library.
- Ranges from dither/pixel/ASCII shader effects, non-DOM text layout, a Windows 98 stylesheet, hand-drawn charts to live-coded synths
- Example: dithercn, Bayer-dither shadcn-registry components installable via npx shadcn add, sharing one pixel grid and theme palette
- Doubles as webdev inspiration and a showcase of autonomous agent output
