The Tech

It's been done before, but I couldn't find a version I liked, that worked offline too. Which is why I just hacked this little thing together. Plus it's fun to make things.
This taught me about offline websites, css hacks to make dialogs, inline favicons, and hacking together a prototype without 500mb of "node_modules".
Anyway, hope someone finds this useful too!
