I think it's pretty neat, but it's not complete. I can't read the entire field in landscape orientation on my phone (Galaxy Note 3). And it doesn't provide a scroll function to compensate.

Cool. Thanks for the feedback. I definitely have some work to do to get it to work on all mobile devices.

Just remember, even if your system doesn't replicate HTML exactly, you'll have to create something else of equal complexity as HTML and a browser rendering engine to match the flexibility.

On the flip side, anything of less complexity will necessarily be less flexible. Though giving up some of that flexibility may not be a bad thing.

I don't say this to discourage, as I frankly think the technology in general is headed in that direction and have done my own work in that regard.

It would be interesting to see if anyone will create a feature-complete HTML rendering engine in JS. It will significantly change how we approach web development, as the choice in rendering engine would move from the user to the developer.
