I have been dreaming about this for ages, ditching the DOM and building everything in WASM for example. This is insanely great.

It seems insanely...bad to me. I loaded the HN demo. I can literally see the rows of items loading as if I'm on dial-up.

I can't select any of the text on the homepage demo. In the comments page, text selection doesn't behave like I would expect, in too many ways to describe here.

I right click and can't do anything, unless I right click on an item. And then my only options are "Open", "Open in New Tab", and "Copy Link".

The scrolling on the page doesn't have the normal rebound that you get when you try to scroll past the extents of the page on a trackpad.

Pinch to zoom doesn't work.

Cool that it's handwritten and that you can hot reload and write it on a phone, but as an end user I would _hate_ if I was asked to use an application built on this.
