Source: pending · Classification: pending

Steal · texture/materialNotes by Will
Convert all photographic assets to 4-color ordered or Floyd-Steinberg dithered PNGs with mix-blend-mode: multiply so the background tint dynamically reflects the Barcelona solar server's live battery percentage.
Steal · component patternNotes by Will
Expose real-time server telemetry (solar irradiance, battery charge %, uptime weather forecast) in a persistent right-margin gauge rail using zero external web fonts or third-party scripts.

Hundred Rabbits — Offline-First 1-Bit Monochrome Tooling & Permacomputing Log

Solarpunk / Dithered Low-Energy UI · editorial · via Dead Simple Sites

Source: pending · Classification: pending

Steal · grid/layoutNotes by Will
Zero-dependency static HTML architecture under 14KB per page: a fixed left-hand ASCII/monochrome tree index paired with a 60ch main logbook column and 1-bit pixel illustrations.
Steal · colorNotes by Will
Restrict the entire site palette to three tokens (#ffffff ground, #000000 ink, #72dec2 seafoam link highlight) so pages render identically on e-ink readers, low-power marine displays, and OLED screens.

Branch Magazine — Grid-Intensity Aware Media Mode (Fossil vs Renewables Layout)

Solarpunk / Dithered Low-Energy UI · editorial · via Fonts In Use

Source: pending · Classification: pending

Steal · component patternNotes by Will
Top status bar displays the live carbon intensity (gCO2/kWh) of the reader's local electricity grid and lets the user toggle between 'Low / Monochrome Text', 'Medium / Dithered Image', and 'High / Full Resolution' modes.
Steal · copywritingNotes by Will
Deferred image placeholders display an explicit size caption ([Image: 142KB — click to load on high-carbon grid]) so media loading becomes an intentional user choice.

Provenance & takedown

Publicly sourced references link to an original; private or concept examples are labelled separately. All referenced work belongs to its creators. What this vault adds — and what it is for — is the commentary: the steal-notes are the content, not the pixels. Notes are written by hand unless their card says otherwise; a model draft is always labelled. Study use only.

Made something shown here and want it removed? Email hello@trova.design with the entry title or a link to this page — it comes down promptly, no questions asked.

Try it in your agent · no key

One command puts these notes inside Claude Code. Without a key the agent sees 5 families and gets 5 calls a day — enough to judge the taste before you rent it. The key opens every family and lifts the meter.
