Oh cool, I didn't know about field-sizing. Thanks.

And yeah, this definitely set off my alarm bells like "maybe I shouldn't be using React here." I guess the initial goal was just getting something that works out there using the thing I know best (React), and the second phase could be a rewrite using a better tool for the job-open to any thoughts and suggestions on that.

I'm in the same boat with vanilla instead. I start with no dependencies and add some vanilla compatible libraries when needed. But when project size grows the friction makes me less motivated to continue. That's just what I know best and where I'm most comfortable since I control everything.

Unfortunately I don't have more specific suggestions, but just in case the verbosity of vanilla is a turn-off, I will namedrop Bliss.js.

Oh nice, I hadn't heard of Bliss.js, but the creator (https://lea.verou.me/) is great.
