Wow thanks so much for the feedback! I'll try to switch away from double-click to close as you suggest.

Good point about CSS frameworks - when I started making this site I underestimated the amount of design-related decisions involved. Getting the data was surprisingly the easiest bit.

The beauty and danger of web frontend is how deceptively simple it looks, and how devilish the details wind up being. It's kind of a rite of passage in web dev to roll your own design and eventually discover a bunch of little things that lead to a complete rewrite :) I'll still sometimes do this a quarter century after starting down this path.

I encourage you to continue this as it's always best to have a project be the motivator to get deeper into it!
