For simplicity's sake, the current implementation of local-proxy.py only supports Python3 at the moment.

With minimal changes, it could be written in such a way that it'd also be fully usable with Python2. As far as I can see, this would mostly mean rewriting the imports in a compatible way. The current imports assume the Python3 structure, but all building blocks are present in Python2 as far as I am aware.

When artist or title is long, the sample doesn't handle multiline text properly. When the layers are originally created, it should be rather simple to calculate a dynamic basefont size for both fields' containers so there'd be no need to support multiline text. The main effect most likely wouldn't suffer from this.

Also, at the moment the effect is implemented using 26 copies of the actual text like in Yusuko Nakaya's original proof of concept. This number of "layers" should be quite easy to reduce while still retaining the basic look and feel of the effect. Need to keep in mind that reducing the layers also means recreating part of the CSS, since the samples currently don't use any kind of preprocessor in order to be more easily approachable.

Since the layers are indeed "flat" - even with the faux drop-shadow, the whole thing looks quite boring even when being rotated in 3D space.

This could be improved at some point, possibly by layering a few copies of the text on the depth-axis to gain some actual "volume" to the text.

Also it might be worth spending some time into thinking the rotation calculations. Currently it just has some values that don't look completely out of place.

Hello Bro,

I already read a lot on your websites, I like your work and I would like to push the community forward here. Sry my question I do not understand your doing that secret.. I do not like your blackbox. Let us just find a transparant way together, what would you say?
