Minor bug: if I visit the page in 1920x1080, everything is too big. But if I resize the page to 960x1080 and back, the layout becomes good.

I think you might be missing a word there? Everything is too what? Also thank you for the report!

Sorry, edited. I'm on Firefox 88.0.1, if that helps.

Thank you! I’ll try it on firefox and see if I can reproduce the issue

I read this as Firefox causes the typo, and enjoyed a good laugh.

I like the URL feature. I can share the French army's flag :p https://flag.rachel.systems/#WyJGRkZGRkYiXQ==

Unfortunately not possible to make in this tool, but here's the flag for the French Resistance: https://www.crwflags.com/FOTW/FLAGS/fr_freef.html

Important to remember that French men and women post-invasion chose to fight even harder! Although I will admit that the meme is funny :)

Ha! It took me couple of sec.

I was about to report that the URL doesn't work, it falls back on a default scheme :-)

Here's one that allows you to mix and match symbols and motifs that are common to national flags: https://flag-designer.appspot.com/

nice, enjoyed making one

I think my screen's color profile is out of spec

Just give it a smack, jiggle it a bit. Stand a few feet to the left, raise your arms and jump a few times.

It is fun! Only one problem, it breaks the back button if you change a few things and want to go back to say HN.

I think it registers every single action as a route. Then when you click back you reverse visit all those routes again.

Yeah this is def the problem, I’m gonna mess with the web history API and see if I can fix that issue.

Fun with flags, my first thought was for Sheldon Cooper. Simple, fast and effective, well done :)
