Most stupid websites sometimes tell you what's wrong in a network request. Not this time.

Let me fill out this very long immigration form with many fields... Ah yes, the error is clearly displayed for me to act on.

I can't believe I missed that I was also genuinely convinced clicking this button would make me suddenly learn french

Thanks to how portable the original QuickJS is (and to modern C tooling brought in by quickjs-ng) it turned into a fun weekend project.

String indexing, arguments, atomics element positions, anything I could think of that used to start at 0.

Get the binaries here:

I always wanted to recompile a browser and make arrays start at 1 to see how the web breaks.

While an entire browser is a bit too much work, a compact JS engine is pretty doable.

Meet Qu1ckJS - a JS engine where indexed collections start at 1!

Play around with the REPL here:

Made a browser extension that randomly adds silly cross-document view transitions to all websites. Now it's time to create a collective repository of silly transitions for all of us to share.
