In plain words

This JavaScript library provides image lazy-loading functionality with a minimal footprint. It defers image loading until they're needed, reducing initial page load times.

    After years of solo development I'm presenting: Angeldust, an omni-compatible action RPG and building game!

Angeldust's game server is pervasively multithreaded, implementing John Carmack's dream of processing an immutable world state each tick. Both world handling and network traffic routing uses any number of threads. For networking, a typical game session only uses ~3Kbps of bandwidth, enabling decent play even over 2G/EDGE networks.
