Given that what you are trying to obscure is likely text in whatever is default these days in Word at 11 points, I’m surprised I’ve never seen security patterns with lots of random overlapping text at that size. Nonetheless—very cool site.

I am delighted that such a thing exists! I’ll never look at letters from the bank in the same way.

Tomas Pynchon has much to say about this in The Crying of Lot 49.

This is cool. For some of these whimsy, ultra-niche nerdy labours of love it's sometimes a very web 1.0 experience (derogatory), or at best it'd be like OEIS which is perfectly functional but otherwise un-noteworthy in terms of design.

But TFA has great design and you can tell they don't take themselves too seriously. Love it.
