Yeah it's not truly a typewriter simulator, more of just a constrained editor that forces you to either live with mistakes or think more deeply about your words as you type.
I played around with overlapping letters and got it working somewhat well, but everything else like printing got more complicated.
It's also got auto word wrap that wouldn't be available on a conventional typewriter. I think some electronic typewriters that had a buffer of letters to fill before it "printed" them had word wrap, but that's not what people usually think of.
You'd also be able on a typewriter to do more creative things like type literally anywhere on the vertical axis, not just in lines like I've enforced here.
It is not sufficient to disable backspace. This thing fails the authenticity test as follows:
Expected result: overlapping letters, or, if the same letter has been typed twice, bold letters.Actual result: new letters are inserted - something that a typewriter cannot do.

Doesn't seem to work in Firefox.
I only use Firefox and it works for me, I wonder what the issue is?
Are you unable to type or is it something else?
