What I meant is that here the intent is to design something once and display it in the browser as if it was an image (or printed media), i.e. without filling the window properly.
This is 100% like displaying a PDF in a browser and it does not belong in one.
Well, then I'm thankful people can still develop and test out radical ideas despite others not wanting that.
This is how all good tech develops, like PDFs. It just tends to be through the internet now.
