Do you really think this "works great"?

I'm using a brand-new MacBook Pro with a high-end M5 processor, and this site is extremely unresponsive for me. Huge latency between clicking and getting feedback.

It also breaks accessibility.

The QR code use case seems far more reasonable to me, you're generating a static image.

It definitely wasn’t “working great”, I’ve now fixed a bug in the event system that was causing loops. The performance should be improved now.

Yes, accessibility is a key concern of mine, I’m keen to explore html-in-canvas as a way to have an accessibility tree combined with a rendered interaction.

I’m personally at a stage where React and CSS have pushed to DOM to extremes of complexity and difficultly in optimization that I desire simpler ARIA-based HTML combined with custom rendering. I’m hopeful that it will be easier to test, lighter for users, and faster for everyone.
