It just doesn't work in Safari.

I was wondering about this. I clicked around for several minutes... I wish people would test their sites in more than just Chromium! Checking that it works in at least one second browser dramatically improves the portability of your site in general.

Are there any video tutorials? Can't really understand how to use it.

Cool! Wish it could treat the CTRL button (or is that CTRL + SHIFT) the way standard illustrator programs do: when held down as you specify a shape on the canvas, the shape remains proportional (rects are always squares, ellipses are always circles).

You have to choose a shape/subfigure CSS can render from the top toolbar. Then render that on the canvas with a standard drag. You can't freehand, obviously.

I was actually wondering how the tool would handle complexity as CSS has very little in the way of options. This is a neat way to do it.

I admit I’m on my iPhone, but I don’t know what I’m supposed to do. I tapped around and I can’t seem to get anything to happen. Just some feedback

I wonder if this just doesn't work on Safari at all; I'm on macOS and I can't seem to get it to do anything either.

Looks like the domain is blocked by Cisco Umbrella firewall.

This is normal for Umbrella. Domains which are queried for the first time via Umbrella become part of the Newly Seen Domains security category [0], and this category is often enabled by admins.
