Reverse engineering features

Download a tweet video, analyze frames to reverse engineer a button, then recreate it

2026-01-20 Tools: Droid, ffmpeg, bird, agent-browser View full session →

I saw this tweet with this button that changes on click with a fun animation.

I've got these things on this site called Nutshells. I wanted to replace my dotted underline version with this 3D button.

Nutshells are added when I have mentioned a tool or term that could be explained for 'less' technical people. They're expandable definitions. If you want to help improve the definitions, let me know!

I'm showing you my whole chat from my agent that I used to reverse engineer and rebuild it.

The First Prompt

This is what I wrote to my agent (I use Droid: #1 on terminal bench).

Thinking... (click to expand)

The user wants me to: 1. Get a tweet using the bird tool 2. Download the video from it 3. Analyze and reverse engineer it 4. Create a similar component Let me start by using the bird tool to get the tweet.

Execute

  "command": "bird tweet get 2012935264440914027",
  "riskLevel": "low",
  "riskLevelReason": "Read-only command to fetch tweet data"
}

Result

Error: Command failed (exit code: 1)
error: too many arguments for 'tweet'. Expected 1 argument but got 2.

Now I understand the animation. It's a "run" button that: 1. Starts blue with "run >" text 2. On click: transitions to green with checkmark "run ✓" 3. The click triggers a "compile" animation with particles/binary digits appearing in the background 4. The page zooms out to reveal the full content Let me look at a few more frames to see the transition better:

Now I have the full picture. The animation sequence is: 1. **Initial state**: Blue button "run >" 2. **Click**: Button changes to yellow "compiling" with a spinner 3. **Completion**: Button turns green "run ✓" 4. **Background effect**: Binary/code particles appear and animate 5. **Zoom out**: Page zooms out to reveal full content Now I'll create a similar React component:

Done. Created two files: 1. **`/static/js/compile-button.js`** - Reusable component with: - 3 states: idle (blue) → compiling (yellow + spinner) → done (green + checkmark) - Particle effects with code characters (0, 1, {, }, etc.) - Configurable via data attributes: `data-compile-text`, `data-compile-time`, `data-compile-callback` - Custom event `compile-complete` fires when done - Auto-initializes on page load 2. **`/static/compile-demo.html`** - Demo page to preview **Usage:** ```html <script src="js/compile-button.js"></script> <button class="compile-btn" data-compile-text="run" data-compile-time="2000">run</button> ``` To preview: open `/static/compile-demo.html` in browser or serve locally.

I used the bird (<- nutshell!) tool.

It fetched the tweet and the video URL. And then it actually posted a tweet on my behalf, oops! For some reason, when using the bird CLI, I often end up with it tweeting the tweet ID. So I need to fix how I use that soon.

Then, it figured out what the commands are for this tool and downloaded the video to a temporary file.

I'd usually use spec mode first but wanted to test 'one-shotting' it for fun (it worked).

---

What the agent did

It searched in my project (repo)
Created a to-do list for itself (again, better if i'd used spec)
Checking how the code worked currently
Created the file with 3 states: on click, transition, completion
Created a demo HTML page

So open it...

Opened in your browser. Click the buttons to see the compile animation with particles.

It opens in Chrome.

Looks good enough for me!

Now I want that to replace our nutshells.

how would you replace our nutshell ui/ux with this?

2026-01-20T08:57:27.675Z

Thinking... (click to expand)

The user wants to understand how to replace the nutshell UI/UX with this compile button style. Let me first understand what nutshell currently does - it's an inline expandable definition system. The compile button is a click-to-animate state change. I should explain the approach rather than just implementing, since the user asked "how would you".

Let me check the current nutshell behavior:

Current nutshell: dotted underline → click → expands inline popup with definition. **Two approaches to merge the compile-button aesthetic:** ### Option A: Replace underline with pill buttons Turn nutshell terms into inline "run" style pills that "compile" to reveal definitions: ``` You use [[API]] to fetch data → You use [API ›] to fetch data Click → [loading...⟳] → expands definition with particles ``` ### Option B: Keep inline text, add compile animation on expand Keep the dotted underline style, but when clicked: 1. Term briefly pulses yellow (compiling) 2. Particles spawn 3. Definition expands with green "loaded" state ### Option C: Hybrid - terms become buttons only on hover Underline by default, morphs into pill on hover, then animates on click. --- **My recommendation:** Option A is closest to the tweet's vibe - inline pill buttons that feel like triggering code execution. It would make the cookbook feel more interactive/playful. Want me to implement one of these? Which direction feels right?

It looks at the nutshell component again. Then comes back with the current state "Current nutshell: dotted underline → click → expands inline popup with definition."

With two options to pick from:

Option A: Replace the underline with a new 3d button.
Option B: Keep the underline but do the animation when clicked.
Option C: Hybrid

For some reason models love offering a hybrid. But it recommended A - agreed.

TODO List Updated

2026-01-20T09:02:06.234Z

Opened a cookbook page with nutshells. The terms are now blue pill buttons - click one to see the compile animation (loading → particles → green checkmark → definition expands). **Summary of changes:** - Nutshell terms are now inline pill buttons (blue) instead of dotted underlines - Click triggers yellow "loading" state with spinner + particle burst - After ~500ms, transitions to green "done" state with checkmark - Definition popup expands below with green accent (matching the button) - Particles are code characters (0, 1, {, }, etc.)

Todo list created and it then rewrote the nutshell with the new 3d button. And checked its work against an existing post.

It did a bunch of listing files and searching around too with ls and bash.

The user wants to start the dev server for the project. Let me check how to do that - probably npm scripts or python.

Execute

  "command": "cd /Users/bentossell/repos/bensbites && cat package.json | grep -A 10 '\"scripts\"'",
  "riskLevel": "low",
  "riskLevelReason": "Reading package.json"

Server running at **http://localhost:8080** - opened the API explainer page. Click any nutshell term to see the new compile animation.

It starts the server on port 8080 in the background (so our chat can keep going).

The buttons didn't look right. I wanted it more 3d like the tweet. So I said that and added a screenshot of the button (not shown in the session).

style the button so its a bit more 3d.

Done. Refresh the page - buttons now have: - Gradient background (light to dark) - Inner highlight (top) and shadow (bottom) for 3D depth - Drop shadow that lifts on hover - Press-down effect on click - Text shadow for depth

2026-01-20T09:10:57.812Z

Thinking... (click to expand)

The user wants a more pronounced 3D effect like the image shows - a thicker, more rounded button with a stronger bottom edge/border that gives it that classic "pressable" 3D look. The button in the image has: - More rounded corners - A visible darker bottom edge (like a border-bottom or thick shadow) - Softer, more saturated blue - More padding - That classic "arcade button" or iOS-style 3D feel

Done. Refresh - now has that chunky 3D arcade-button style with: - Solid 4px bottom "edge" that creates the 3D depth - Presses down on click (translateY + shrinking shadow) - Lifts up on hover - Dark text on bright backgrounds - Rounded corners (8px)

So it read the file again, and edited it. Updated the loading and active states to match the different transitions. Then styling: gradient background, inner highlight top, inner shadow bottom, 3D depth.

Buttons were too big.

better, but they're too big. padding: 4px 8px 2px, border-radius 6px

2026-01-20T09:17:32.950Z

Thinking... (click to expand)

The user wants to adjust the padding and border-radius of the nutshell buttons to make them smaller.

Done. Refresh to see smaller buttons.

I know how to tweak the sizing on Chrome DevTools. So I played around until it looked good (to me). And just gave it those pixel sizes.

And that's what it did.

So this is now the code that I'm using for my little nutshells. Hopefully you tried out a few.
