# /specs — specification sheet
Minimum system requirements.
This site is, in fact, 100% HTML & CSS with a few dozen lines of plain JavaScript. It will run on anything that has a screen and a vague recollection of the web. Below, however, we list our recommended configuration for maximum vibe.
| CPU | anything ≥ 1997 · a Pentium II is plenty · an M-series chip is overkill and faintly embarrassing |
|---|---|
| Memory | 32 MB recommended · 64 MB for guestbook use · more and you've misunderstood |
| Display | CRT preferred · 4:3 ideal · 1024×768 minimum · phosphor glow if possible |
| Colour | true colour acceptable · 256 colour is period-correct · 16 colour is perfect · monochrome is art |
| Connection | dial-up supported · v.92 or better · ISDN if feeling flashy · fibre is fine, we guess |
| Browser | any with CSS3 and SVG · NetSurf works · Lynx renders but misses the point · Edge probably also fine |
| Font | IBM Plex Mono (served) · or anything monospace · or bitmap VT323 if you're serious |
| Input | keyboard mandatory · mouse optional · trackball respected · typewriter unsupported at this time |
| Audio | not used · PC speaker beeps tolerated · please no autoplay |
| Storage | ~220 KB on disk · fits on any floppy ever made · including the 3.5" HD with the clicky shutter |
| Operating System | yes · any · including the one on the fridge |
| Posture | slouched, slightly amused |
# known incompatibilities
- Browsers that require a JavaScript runtime for layout. BB00 does not.
- Ad blockers that don't detect their own absence.
- Any "dark mode" that tries to invert the ASCII. Don't.
- Screenshot tools that helpfully "correct" the scanlines.
- People in a hurry.
# performance profile
bb00.text — static site — no JS for rendering initial HTML ~ 14 KB gz CSS total ~ 8 KB gz JS (gallery filter) ~ 1 KB gz fonts (Plex Mono) ~ 72 KB (optional: any monospace works) images ~ 4 KB SVG per brand mark cold-load, cable ~ 0.18 s cold-load, 3G ~ 1.40 s cold-load, dial-up ~ 22.00 s (still works, and frankly more fun)
