The core idea behind $jrex frames it as a modern reinterpretation of one of the most recognizable minimalist characters in browser history, directly inspired by Google's Dinosaur Game

Originally introduced as an offline browser feature, the Dinosaur Game was designed with extreme simplicity in mind - a monochrome pixel-based character capable of running endlessly across an empty landscape
Its purpose was functional, but its visual language became iconic

$jrex follows the same principles
The character is built around low-resolution graphics, reduced detail, and a clear silhouette, emphasizing recognizability over complexity
This design mirrors early digital constraints, where limited pixels shaped timeless visual identities

By reworking these foundational design ideas into a contemporary visual form
$jrex connects early browser culture with modern internet aesthetics
preserving the spirit of simplicity that made the original dinosaur a lasting digital symbol
