Our Commentary
I'm always fascinated by what people can pull off with just HTML and CSS. "50 links in a trenchcoat" is a brilliant description. While this isn't something we'd ever recommend for production, it's a fantastic thought experiment for understanding browser rendering and CSS capabilities. It reminds me of those pure CSS games – impressive, but ultimately a demonstration of ingenuity over practicality.
