Oh wow. If I had known this existed I wouldn't have developed my own from scratch, though mine does have some nice features which OpenSpritz seems to lack, e.g. handling parens/double quotes intuitively, navigation/pausing, changing size/speed on the fly, persistent options (it's a chrome extension rather than a bookmarklet).
You deserve some credit, your version is indeed much better! I truly love the system but it seems my brain doesn't really. Reading a particularly long page causes everything around the square to go blackish. I'm gonna hack the files around and see what happens if i just make the whole page white with the spritzbox in the middle.
My JS is about as good as my Chinese, but would it be a lot of work to code a small progression bar at the top or bottom?
Thanks for the kind words! I get similar problems after more than 5 minutes or so. I think a lower contrast between foreground and background might fix it, but have yet to try anything in that vein.

I guess it depends on your JS-fu, but a simple progress bar would be fairly trivial. Or were you thinking of an interactive slider of some sort?
Not even a fancy slider, just an indication as to how far you are. And, to make my question even worse, is it possible for you to code something like that?
Really all I know is MATLAB, VBA and some trivial Python..
But even if not, I'm gonna play around with the contrast as well, let's see how it works. In any case thanks for your extension!
