Standards Compliant Rickrolling

Read Original

This article details the technical challenges and solutions for creating a webpage that can successfully rickroll visitors despite modern browser restrictions on autoplaying audio and video. It explains the history of autoplay policies, outlines a strategy using user interaction to trigger video playback, and provides a link to the source code on GitHub. The post is framed as a celebration of April Fools' Day but is fundamentally about web development standards and browser APIs.
