Years ago I worked at the BBC and while I rarely got to do anything audience-facing, I was allowed to indulge a smol pet-project while building the developer portal.
The website itself is locked behind a staff-only login, but my nonsense is buried within the stock banner photo that anyone can access — try clicking the laptop screen...

This is amazing it scrolls it highlights it copies and pastes, it accepts typing!
the only reason this is so fully-featured is that it's literally a browser <textarea> tag, hidden from assistive tech, deformed with a matrix, and blurred with a filter. it's maybe a dozen lines of code altogether (if you don't count the screen contents).
one day i aspire to teach Big Tech about the forgotten art of Just Putting A Text Box In so that we can all go back to being unimpressed by basic usability features, but in the meantime i will give thanks that i've passed the point in my career where i have to toil away in the 400kB JS/CSS3 "perfect text box" library mines where the scrollbars are glitchy and tab doesn't work
