I was impressed by the way the windows are page-local but the content appears as though it were screen local. I also dug the auto non-overlapping tiles.

I think it needs a more guaranteed high frame rate and some polish for me to judge whether it’s actually better for uses I make up, but it’s really innovative.

I’m thinking the canvas is just given a fixed position and a low z-index and then a “normal” webpage can be made with areas that have a zero opacity element (or no element but then layout is harder).

It feels super impressive but the more I think of it, I think the trick is actually quite simple. I wonder what edge cases I’m not thinking about.
