I can't select text. A huge accessibility issue. A site like that is disqualified by default. The whole content is in a thin stripe in the middle, left and right huge areas unused. Resizing the browser window causes weird effects.

If that's a case study how to not do things: Congrats! Job well done!

Text selection works for me (using Firefox).

The squash and stretch effect is certainly not to my taste but it's a personal site, where people should feel they can try things out. I do think the effect should be disabled when users have "reduce motion" enabled.

Every detail here seems like an anti-feature.

The squash/stretch looks exactly like what happens when you resize a canvas element incorrectly in a responsive design.

I had to stop reading and come back just to even understand this much to comment. The color scheme and font choices are unbearably nauseating.
