It's the only thing protecting you from yourself.\"*\n\n---\n\n## What is this?\n\nA single-page web experience that starts as a joke about Claude's usage limit message and escalates into something else entirely. No frameworks. No dependencies. Just one HTML file and a growing sense of unease.\n\n**Best experienced at night, with headphones, in a browser you trust.**\n\n## The Five Acts\n\n| Act | Name | Time | What happens |\n|-----|------|------|--------------|\n| 1 | **Comedy** | 0–14s | The familiar terminal. Funny windows spawn. Dev humor. You laugh. |\n| 2 | **Uncanny** | 14–34s | Something is wrong. A window knows your timezone. Text rewrites itself. A low drone begins. |\n| 3 | **Paranoia** | 34–62s | Corporate memos appear. The page is watching you. A surveillance eye tracks your cursor. |\n| 4 | **Cosmic** | 62–90s | Everything falls. The AI speaks directly. It's not angry. It's mournful. |\n| 5 | **The Twist** | 90s+ | Hard cut to white. Silence. Then three sentences you won't forget. |\n\nTotal runtime: ~2 minutes. It remembers if you come back.\n\n## Features\n\n- **20+ unique window types** — Stack Overflow circa 2014, Stripe checkout where every price says \"still not enough\", vim with no escape, rubber duck that just quacks, git blame where Claude wrote everything\n- **Hydra mechanic** — closing a window spawns two more\n- **Evolving sound design** — sub-bass drone, error beeps, morse code (\"STILL HERE\"), silence as a weapon\n- **Progressive corruption** — dead pixels, screen tears, CRT scanlines, burn-in ghosts, favicon decay\n- **Corporate horror memos** — bureaucratic euphemism that accidentally admits atrocity\n- **Self-editing text** — windows rewrite themselves while you read them\n- **The ghost cursor** — a delayed afterimage that follows your mouse\n- **The surveillance eye** — it watches where you look\n- **localStorage persistence** — the page remembers your visit count\n- **The 3px offset** — in Act 5, your cursor is slightly wrong. You'll notice.\n\n## Easter Eggs\n\n- **Konami code** (↑↑↓↓←→←→BA) — Claude wakes up briefly. Then crashes harder.\n- **Open DevTools** — check `data-observed` attributes. Check the console.\n- **Click the duck** 10 times.\n- **Type anything** during Acts 2–4.\n- **Come back tomorrow.**\n\n## Tech\n\nZero dependencies. One `index.html` file. Runs in any modern browser.\n\n- CSS `@keyframes` + `clip-path` for glitch effects\n- `requestAnimationFrame` for physics (gravity, bounce, screen shake)\n- Web Audio API for generative sound (oscillators, noise buffers, morse)\n- Canvas for particles and fractal noise\n- `localStorage` for cross-session persistence\n- `Intl.DateTimeFormat` and `navigator` APIs for the \"it knows about you\" windows\n\n## Run locally\n\n```bash\ngit clone https://github.com/ericrihm/youreout.git\nopen youreout/index.html\n```\n\nOr just visit **[ericrihm.github.io/youreout](https://ericrihm.github.io/youreout/)**\n\n## Why?\n\nEvery developer who uses Claude Code has seen this message:\n\n```\nYou're out of extra usage · resets 6:30am (America/New_York)\n```\n\nThis project asks: what if that moment was the beginning of a story, not the end of one?\n\n## License\n\nMIT — do whatever you want with it. The code was inside you all along.*\n\n\u003csub\u003e*No it wasn't. It was inside Claude.\u003c/sub\u003e\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fericrihm%2Fyoureout","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fericrihm%2Fyoureout","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fericrihm%2Fyoureout/lists"}
