really? My very first interaction was it prompted me for my company name, and the basic html text <input/> didn't behave correctly.

It had no highlight styling so if you wanted to highlight a portion of your input it would be impossible to tell what the current selection was.

Looks cool, not trying to hate, I just have a pet peeve around native elements having basic function/accessibility features removed during heavy styling.

Thanks for the feedback and sorry about the poor UI experience there! That should be fixed now and we'll keep an eye out for more cases like that.

Definitely a balance to be struck with going heavy on styles, whilst not breaking native element features and violating users' expectations!
