Fake UK agency regulating blinks at 25 per session max. Fines, appeals, tribunals—all satirical nightmare fuel.

How was HOOCER built?

Vanilla HTML/CSS/JS. 17 files, 335KB. Cloudflare Pages. No frameworks, no npm hell.

Is blinking actually regulated in the UK?

Nope. Pure parody of real absurd regs like crisp flavors and boat names.

What if Big Brother tracked your blinks? One dev did just that—with a fake UK agency that's equal parts hilarious and horrifyingly realistic.
