Transparent.html: A self-referential experiment in making web infra visible (relevant.space)

I love this soo much. I strongly hope some day the web can do some of the hypercard like thing of showing off what is is, having pages have a structure that's meaningful and also conveyed into the page itself.

This is such a neat simple direct experiment in bringing the user and the page together, in that vein.

Side note: I have DarkReader extension (must have for me), and there's half a page of it's gobbledygook at the top, lol.

Side note 2: I went to share this link, & wanted to copy the subtitle out. But the subtitle is in a <meta name="description" content="..."> , which renders via a ::before psuedo-selector. Which makes it non-selectable. That is a bit of a regression in functionality for the user that is unfortunate, with how this page renders itself.
