There's an irony about posting in a topic about simple, vanilla, no-framework scripting and then linking to a repository with the following unnecessary ancillary files:

    .gitignore
    .prettierrc
    README.md
    REQUIREMENTS.md
    manifest.webmanifest
    package.json
    tsconfig.json
    yarn.lock
Plus the actual source code is spread over four TypeScript files, JavaScript, CSS, and HTML.

This isn't meant as criticism of your code specifically but of "modern" web development which hypocritically espouses simplicity but actually increases complexity of development.

My point is your app could have been a single HTML file (or HTML, JavaScript, and CSS if you want to split hairs). Instead there's 15+ files because that's the state of modern development.
