This has always been the case with CSS, hasn't it? When you use it for rendering something relatively complex, you're kinda doomed.

I get the dream, we want everything to be declarative, and leave room for future optimizations, so that we can write once and run everywhere forever.

But in practice, it's not really an improvement over traditional GUIs that let you draw directly. Hence CSS is literally adding draw[1].

This is a huge reason 90s.dev doesn't use HTML/CSS but starts from scratch and lets you draw right into WebGL2 yourself, or with high-level APIs if you want.

Can you describe a time that happened to you, and why you felt doomed?

That doesn’t like something that a person who has really used CSS in any meaningful way would say. Sharp edges, sure, but what technology doesn’t have that?


The game https://corru.observer/ is a great example of a CSS-rendered 3D video game that runs fairly well on modern devices (even playable on mobile although it'll try to block you based on viewport size if you're not in "desktop mode")

Stupid comment, sure. That's always true with me.

Shill for my app? I don't even know what shill means.

Plug for my app? Not really. It's pretty much dead atp. I'm just discussing my own experiences with the topic in the thread.

But yes, please downvote me. It helps remind me that this place isn't for me.
