Author here! Thanks for all the nice comments (and helpful bug reports). This idea has been in the back of my mind for ~2 years now but I recently got a wave of motivation and decided to ride it - and here we are. Happy to answer any Qs :)

I think the Text input field doesn’t match the rest.

On iOS text and textarea are rounded. Not sure if you can override that with css.

It looks really good. It makes me wish I had a retro project idea I could use it on. It'd be great for a demo-scene website.

Fun work! Thanks for sharing.

I was somewhat reminded of Wt [1], and I still wish that were open source. Also reminded a bit of Blazor [2].

You can get around that with contentEditable, but that creates an even bigger mess.
