That’s a great looking life you’ve got there, full of promise… it’d be a shame if anything happened to it.

I can't click the Go button after entering the date. I am on Firefox.

Beware, it uses Month/Day/Year which is some strange format hopefully nobody else uses.

Lot of US-built tools use this format and it is very annoying. From Photoshop to Googlesheets to WhatsApp, Month always comes first. I tried for around 15 mins to change to date-first format in Google Sheets and failed.

Changing locale works fine for this in gdocs.

I put in that I was born in 1901, and it still told me that I still had "a long way to go"

Whose woods these are I think I know. His house is in the village though; He will not see me stopping here To watch his woods fill up with snow.

My little horse must think it queer To stop without a farmhouse near Between the woods and frozen lake The darkest evening of the year.

He gives his harness bells a shake To ask if there is some mistake. The only other sound’s the sweep Of easy wind and downy flake.

The woods are lovely, dark and deep, But I have promises to keep, And miles to go before I sleep, And miles to go before I sleep.

This is beautiful. It reminds me of the early Internet, but done in a contemporary style. I wish the modern Internet were more like this.

Perhaps it already is, but discovery is terrible.
