Kevin Kuchta ☑️Oh hey, I should post this here too! I made a CSS-only async chat by using background-image requests to send data and long-running http requests to return it.

fll🫨@kkuchta similar to this guy's cursor tracking with CSS-only?
@fll Yeah, that was the direct inspiration! I figured if you can send nearly-arbitrary data like that, it should be possible to build a full data transfer pipeline. :)

dd@kkuchta ... oh.
I read about arcane things being possible with CSS, but still, this is a more impressive hack than I expected.
Does anyone know if there is a sane subset of CSS that isn't able to talk to the world (not really a capability I would expect from a _style sheet_)?
