 Variation of https://backbonenotbad.hyperclay.com/ using just the "platform" for funsies.
 So no external resource. No React. No Backbone. No Tailwind.
 Admittedly cutting corners quite brutally.
 Replicates most flaws of the original(s):
 - Accessibility disaster: no labels, no aria-live regions, no clear indication what is going on.
 -- (Added a feeble attempt with CSS content "alt"s, but I doubt any current SR would catch them.)
 - Resilience disaster: no features detection, no graceful degradation.
 - Will break in any fairly outdated user agent. Will not work without JS (just like the original, but now even worse, rendering non-functional UI. (There should be server-side fallback anyway.)
