As a tip, you can use the ` ` tag [1] to make the browser automatically refresh after N seconds and keep the tab always up to date. [1]: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/me...

W3C has deprecated this for a long time now: https://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG10-HTML-TECHS/#meta-element

Soo... browsers will likely support it until the end of the internet?

Yeah, it's not great UX for web apps, but for a toy project like this it's good enough if you don't want any JS. It still works even if deprecated, and if it stops working, it doesn't take anything away.

Can't believe it took me this long to notice, the meme itself is an altered image of the original comic. Obviously, the speech bobbles are too clean compared to the rest of the comic, but I also notice now that they are a poor imitation of Hergé's distinct speech bobbles.[0] [0] https://i.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/original/002/125/139/0ff...

I am debating making a better version where the bubbles are appropriately sized and look nicer and the background is smoother, but I thought it might take away the ‘memeyness’ of it.

I just went with the original background made by the person who seemingly invented the meme format on Tumblr: https://www.tumblr.com/incorrecttintin/162088281738

I was wondering why the caption was empty, but it's because of my Dark Reader extension inverting the text color to white, without touching the box color. Just a heads up.

Ah, that’s too bad. I do plan to update it so that the speech bubbles are SVG objects instead of embedded in the image, which should make it dark mode-friendly.
