js1k.com is a competition worth checking out. In the spirit of the demo-scene the goal is to create something visually appealing in not more than 1 kilobyte – 1024 bytes – of javascript. No external libraries allowed. All demos work in firefox, opera and webkit browsers.

There are some really cool and inspired entries – be sure to check out the demos. My personal favourite is the javascript theremine.

It’s the taking part that counts so we also quickly put together a small demo.
