Re:Open Rails: Free, open-source train simulator on Tuesday December 26, 2023 @02:36PM (#38775201)

Open Rails is the modern successor to Microsoft Train Simulator (MSTS), and is fully backward compatible with all MSTS content. It has better graphics and focuses on realistic train physics.

Keep in mind that Vercel does not allow for-profit usage on its free Hobby plan. Netlify does, though.

They are partially off screen on my iPhone SE as well, I will certainly address this issue soon.

Yes; there are 7 CSS variables to tweak and play with. I might add more in the future (for example, for `border-radius`).

Thank you for adding Lissom.CSS to the list. Indeed, I think that all modern websites should account for `prefers-color-scheme`, now that it has been supported by virtually every browser for several years.

MVP.css is very complete and robust, but its styles and general feel do not resonate with me.

"data-*" attributes don't require any JavaScript; their values can even be accessed from CSS with `content: attr(data-*);`

Individually, yes.

I like it, it's very minimalist and purist!
