This implementation is great and the interface brings back memories.

I was wondering why my Atkinson dithering web-component[0] was getting more hits today - sad news. I’ve always thought that Atkinson dithering produces the nicest images on really crisp monitors like the original Mac - something about it just looks cool and 80s which is why I used it in a game last year.

Dithering at the pixel level on a retina screen is quite something. I quite like the style on some pictures, not so on others. They have a weird modern old-fashioned look and the individual dots are not as distracting as in actually old pictures.
