attention filter
a zero-contrast filter that becomes stronger the longer you remain on the same page, to simulate attention
This is a demo. The text you're reading right now is slowly fading into the background. Not because it's disappearing — but because your attention is.
The idea is simple: a website where the contrast between text and background continuously decreases the longer you stay on the page. After about two minutes, the words are nearly invisible. Still there, but lost in the noise.
It's an honest UI. Most websites pretend your attention is infinite — that you're reading every word with the same focus you brought to the first sentence. This one doesn't. It mirrors what's actually happening in your head: the slow, inevitable drift away.
You could use it for writing that's meant to be felt quickly rather than studied. Poetry. Aphorisms. Manifestos. Things that hit hardest on first contact and don't benefit from re-reading so much as from being encountered fresh.
Or you could use it as a prompt. When the text starts to fade, it's a signal: you've been here long enough. Move on. Do something. The page is telling you to leave.
