It's cool but the "r" in that font is distracting.

Very cool! There's another site I used to frequent with a similar bent, focused on golfing: https://www.dwitter.net/

I thought this was running on a canvas element, but no.. characters are nested inside spans. That's amazing.

I made a similar feature as a Tumblr post type during an internal hackathon -- shame that never got to see the light of day as a production feature. Processing post types, that allowed others to reblog and make revisions. Would've been painful to get it ready for a mobile release unfortunately.
