Tried this demo in Safari: https://arrival.space/htmlcanvas

Looks very cool, and showed a pretty message indicating there's even more:

  HTML IN CANVAS NOT SUPPORTED  
  Use Chrome and enable chrome://flags/#canvas-draw-element
Use Chrome... idontthinkiwill.jpg and aren't we supposed to reject these technologies that allow Google to Embrace, Extend, Extinguish[1]?

Kudos to the artist in spite of this unfortunately esoteric (wish it weren't) concern

[1](hope I'm wrong about it being a triple E https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Embrace,_extend,_and_extinguis... )

Title should have been “html-in-canvas demos in gif on X”

I naively thought the “demo” was a demo, not a X posting by a twit.

Nah, you forgot the canvas.

I heard you like html-in-canvas demos, but what about canvas-in-html-in-canvas-in-html?
