• Repository: https://github.com/wortwart/retro-web-elements

• Implementation: https://github.com/wortwart/retro-web-app
• Demo: https://woerter.de/projects/retro-web/

Contents

• retro-basefont: The <basefont> element.
• retro-bgsound: The <bgsound> element. Uses jasmid to parse MIDI files in browsers that don't support this element natively (= everything not Internet Explorer). The sound quality leaves room for improvement.
• retro-blink: The <blink> element.
• retro-counter: Creates a 90s-style visitor counter with a random value.
• retro-gif: Creates fake GIF animations (jumping, pulsating).
• retro-spacer: The <spacer> element.

Install the Polymer-CLI

First, make sure you have the Polymer CLI and npm (packaged with Node.js) installed. Run npm install to install your element's dependencies, then run polymer serve to serve your element locally.
