Memories · ’90s Nostalgia
You’re clearing out the spare room when you find your old monitor. You wipe off the dust, turn it on, and there’s the desktop you remember.
You open a folder and play one of your old videos. Then another. For a little while, you’re a kid again, back in a ’90s summer.
That’s the feeling I wanted to bring back with Memories, my Video.js v10 skin. I missed how tactile computers used to feel, so I brought back beveled buttons. Drag the timeline back and forth and the preview flips through little snapshots of the video.
I hope it brings back a memory of your own.

I Designed a custom skin for the Video.js v10 player.
In Video.js v10, a skin is the player’s interface: the UI components plus the styles that present them. Video.js is open source and community-driven, and the player can end up on almost any website, so every skin makes a choice: how much personality it has, how well it fits into someone else’s design, and how far it pushes the controls. This was all incorporated into the design from scratch. The built-in v10 skins show this range. Creativity and mastery are incorporated to produce something nice and pleasant.

FIELDNOTE
An original Video.js v10 skin for slow observation. FIELDNOTE treats video as a field journal rather than a distraction engine: warm paper, forest-green controls and an instrument-like timeline frame an original procedural landscape. A solid control surface keeps contrast independent of the footage; responsive controls, visible keyboard focus and a night palette support quieter viewing.
Built with @videojs/html 10.3.0. AI-assisted design and implementation. Original generated demo footage and a quiet generated test tone; no borrowed footage, external fonts or analytics. Original code and generated assets released under Apache License 2.0.
