I love it when I visit one of my pages and use Lighthouse to check it out and have nearly straight across 100 scores. Also, I usually have really great performance on phones as well because the pages are so light and quick to render.
It was interesting and one of the best explorations of automata that I've seen, but I don't think anyone could draw any conclusions from it.
Another project that largely ignores that custom elements and Shadow DOM are readily available on every modern browser (including the ones on your phone) and instead chooses to "simulate" components instead is... short sighted.
I crave something that attempts to fill in the missing pieces between something like say Angular and Lit. Give me something that treats a Web Component as its underlying tech for components but offers good support for animation. Something that comes with simple support for migrations (Ala Ruby on Rails) but doesn't include a ton of tooling for CSS that is not really needed anymore (I'm looking at you React) or was created before JS Modules and is still not making good use of them (ahem... Angular).
So, if someone is still stuck in React land, maybe this will be what they are looking for, but for someone keen to use what is built into modern browsers for speed and smaller apps, this seems like something we should pass on.
Several domain search websites over the years have been credibly accused of using info gleaned from searches to pre-register domains and accounts in order to take advantage of user's information.
For reasons I've struggled with debugging, it wants to print a second blank page after the first one. As long as the user skips the second sheet everything looks OK for Safari for my app.

Note: It should be very easy to work on if you know JS. It's a handful of very simple Web Components and the SVG paper generation code. I did my best to have nice clean code for all of it.
I still take notes on paper sometimes and most "paper" sites are just a bunch of pre-created PDF files. Mine creates a SVG on the fly and then can print it out from the page.
While I really loved creating it and still use it myself, I wish printer support in the browsers was better. I don't have to deal with garbage like IE anymore, but nobody gives me a chance to remove automatic margins and stuff that gets printed in those margins. I can tell the user to do it manually, but much better would be a chance to prompt the user and offer to remove all of that if they OK it.
I quit when the moron made his offer to buy it. I briefly regretted it when he withdrew his offer and it seemed like he might not get it, but in the end he did buy it and I was vindicated.
I would say starting a new application in 2023 based upon Angular or React would be the Ooof thing to do.
We pair it with Storybook, finicky though it is, to have a catalog of our components and stories showing off the variances for each.
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha. Wow.
Nothing about Amazon has ever appealed. Not their pay, certainly not their track record for hardware products (all terrible with the exception of the Echo), and not their other software with the exception of some of the stuff AWS has done.
