Byte Grammar

a word, gzipped, drawn as a sky

Type a word and the browser gzip-compresses it on the spot. The constellation you see isn't drawn from the letters — it's drawn from the compressed bytes: their values steer each node's angle, distance, and brightness, and the byte entropy sets how the web of links spreads.

So you're not looking at the word. You're looking at the shape of its compression — the grammar the algorithm found inside it. (Where the browser lacks CompressionStream, a small byte-pattern fallback stands in.)
