Colophon

How myrhex.dev is built, and what it does not do.

This site is one launch, filmed like a webcast. I directed it; it was written, built and checked with AI.

What it does not do

No analytics. Not first-party, not self-hosted, not privacy-friendly. None.
No cookies, no fingerprinting, no session recording.
No third-party requests. The code, the fonts and the maps of the Earth are all served from this domain, and the content security policy refuses anything else.
Local storage holds one thing, only in your browser: whether you turned the sound on.

Made with: AI, start to finish. Models wrote the code and the shaders, checked every claim against its source and every frame in screenshots. I directed and decided.
Framework: Next.js 16, every page generated ahead of time
3D: three.js on WebGL2. The Starship, its plumes, the launch site, the steam, the satellites and the effects are all built in code, with no downloaded models
Motion: Every movement is computed each frame from your scroll position, with Lenis smoothing the scroll
Sound: Synthesised live in the page with the Web Audio API. There are no audio files
Type: Saira, Inter and Martian Mono, served from this domain
Mission patches: Generated SVG, one per project

Earth: NASA Earth Observatory: Blue Marble Next Generation, Black Marble 2016, and elevation from GEBCO data. Clouds: NASA Goddard Space Flight Center, image by Reto Stöckli
Milky Way: NASA/Goddard Space Flight Center Scientific Visualization Studio, Deep Star Maps
Note: All of these are public domain. Using them does not mean NASA endorses this site.
Starship: A replica of SpaceX's Starship and its launch site at Starbase, modelled in code from public photographs. This site has no connection to SpaceX.
