Hi, I am the author of this site.
The project started out as a test to see if the web platform is powerful enough to do complex interfaces like this. The entire site is built from the ground up using (almost) no pre-existing libraries or frameworks, trying to use platform native techniques as much as possible.
In the end I plan to document exactly what features were difficult (or impossible) to implement, so we can get an idea of where the web platform stands compared to custom rendering engines in terms of capabilities. So far I must say I am surprised how close I can get to the real thing, showing how powerful the modern web platform really is.
Disclaimer: This is a research project, so compatibility is nonexistent on the priority list. I use whatever features are available in the specs, even though most browsers do not implement them yet. At this time the latest version of Chrome gives the best rendering results, and there are no guarantees other browsers will work.
