Perhaps I'm missing something, but why can't we render HTML directly onto the canvas in the browser? The parser is there, the layout engine is already implemented, and the calculation of box layout is already done. It should be doable without going in circles. If only the browser had a flag indicating which "surface" to render on.
I was looking at Glide Grid the other day, and it renders so fast, even with 1 million rows; it's somehow responsive. There should be an easier way to render HTML to canvas without resorting to low-level primitives. Why is canvas faster than the "regular" DOM renderer?
Glide grid renders to canvas also.
I can't remember the details, but I've heard a story multiple times about a fake-sounding name being used in testing -- I think US military payroll? -- and causing problems when a real person had that name. Can anyone here remember this?
In any case, "batman" is just about plausible enough that it could be real. I tend to use names like "Mr. Testy Testalicious" which (a) contain the string "test", and (b) are so wildly absurd that I'm confident nobody will ever collide with it.
