Show HN: Using 3D CSS transform to make a "live screenshot"

For the confused (I initially only saw a sign-up form and thought it was required, and came back here disappointed) - if your browser window is below 1300px or so wide, the live demo won't show up. When it does show up it is quite subtle - in the screen of the generic background image is an editable code snippet, transformed with CSS so that it is skewed and appears to be in the picture. You can type and run code in that laptop window screen.

Note to the site author - you should put the live screen flat below the sign-up form even when the screen is smaller. Changing window size should not remove information from your page, just move it around.

This is really cool!

Two minor bugs, which are probably two manifestations of the same underlying issue:

1: The screen is centered correctly but the lower left and lower right corners are slightly too far down compared to the screen graphic. (This is with a maximized Chrome window on a 1920x1080 screen.)

2: If the window's not minimized, and I slowly make it narrower or wider, the point at which the live screenshot appears (instead of the static white screenshot) has a problem - the simulated live screen is slightly too small and doesn't fill up the entire laptop screen. The live screen's top right corner is positioned correctly. The problem goes away as I make the window wider and the live screenshot expands (and vice versa).

For me the actual 'live screenshot' seems to be at a random position in the page, not lined up with the screen of the laptop in the picture.

Nice idea, though.

This just brings me to some spam about subscribing for a scala tutorial, c'mon HN.
