#2The resize functionality doesn't work very well on macOS + Firefox. Once I place an element, I can't easily make changes to it, for some reason (possibly due to adblock?)

#3Super cool! This is a great idea and very useful for those of us who use CSS widgets as standins for graphical assets.
I will say that I also have trouble resizing the elements using Firefox, thought it all looks good in Chrome.

It's not adblock. Resize is very weird and janky on my un-blocked firefox.

#6Nice interface. It feels like I'm using Illustrator.
I suppose the intended use case might be very stylized HTML elements? Like designing a really fancy button?
In situations where your intent is to display a stand alone image, rather than add style to an element, am I right in thinking SVG is the better choice? I see HN posts where people create whole paintings out of CSS and HTML, and I always thought the point was to marvel at the novelty of this approach. Do people really think everyday web graphics should be stored as CSS, rather than SVG? How come I don't see more sites using SVG?
Zerodivs.com actually links to one of these: https://a.singlediv.com/ Is there something I'm missing here?

In my experience, CSS is more consistently supported between rendering engines. SVG is a shitshow once you start adding filters.

Thank you. I heard SVG was not well supported cross browser a few years ago, but I presumed things have improved since then. Guess I was wrong.

They have improved, but they haven't improved consistently. The spec is just too enormous.
