How we built the real demo for our fake CSS API client

The text describes the creation of a CSS API Client that replicates a search engine using only CSS. Although it was initially intended as an April Fool's joke, the project showcased the surprising capabilities of CSS and its selectors for targeting elements in HTML documents. Despite some drawbacks such as large file sizes, the demo highlighted various features like handling case sensitivity, typos, synonyms, and filtering results by team. The author also discussed how they achieved ordering and sorting of search results using flexbox-based display and custom fonts for highlighting matches. While not suitable for production use, this project sparked interesting conversations in the CSS community about the possibilities of leveraging CSS for creative purposes.
