Those tests were definitely fun, and gave me lots of "my browser is better than yours" bragging rights. I'm surprised that it's the year 2020 and Firefox still doesn't score 100% in the Acid3 test.

Shit, Firefox Developer 74.0b8 is even failing Acid2 for me

Firefox 73.0.1 on Linux seems to render it fine

SVG would be a better fit. Hand written SVG is underrated. But maybe it would not be difficult enough to make them in SVG. Whenever you feel the CSS get a bit hacky, like backgrounds with round shapes, it can usually be solved in a few lines of SVG. SVG also has classes and CSS, yes you can have CSS in SVG for style reusability and abstraction. You can also create SVG on the fly using JavaScript.

I suspect you may be missing the point of this exercise

I suspect the exercise may be missing the point (there is none). Parent is right.

Demonstrating prowess with CSS is the point, which they have succeeded.

and in general making art on unconventional media is a time honoured endeavour.

"It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat."

― Theodore Roosevelt

Would it be too inconvenient to first appreciate the art before barfing all over someone else's "birthday cake?"

I love how even something as silly and unimportant as this has 13 open issue reports on GitHub.

For projects that are "finished" and will not be updated, I think using the archive function could be helpful. Marking a project as archived removes the issues tab among other things and clearly communicates that the owner is not interested in continued development.
