The best detail is that the nostalgia does real work. The radio dial controls volume, the tuning scale scrubs the video, and your friends’ cars light up as they join. Anca turned a video player into a place to hang out.
Pull into the drive-in and save three spots for your friends. 🚘
I built LOT 66, a custom Video.js v10 skin for the Contra challenge. Start a live watch room for up to four people and share the invite link. As each friend joins, their car lights up and their name appears above...
Here’s my Video.js skin submission! I imagined what it would be like watching a video in a spacecraft from the future and left behind the conventional layout of the controls. What do we think?
Ah the 80's. A time when machines were tangible and tactile. I tried going for a player that brought back the beauty of a brutalist, machine like player. It currently streams 80's commercials from archive.org
I've wanted to make work like this for years! Different aesthetic though.
My mistake was posting my test project on regular social media. The confused reactions from people stopped me in my tracks. But you, my friend, have re-inspired me! Thanks!
I made a Game Skin for Video.js v10. Kindly like and Upgoat!
It’s for Blockworks, a hub for Roblox builders, so watching their clips should feel like you’re part of the game world. The buttons press like a controller, pausing opens a game menu, you earn trophies for finding the controls, and the progress bar is a snake that blinks, flicks its tongue and turns to look at you.
It has a dedicated design for both desktop and mobile view, and it still does everything a normal video player does: play, seek, volume, speed, quality, captions, picture-in-picture and full screen. It even works with a keyboard alone.
