Questions people ask

How do I make the red screen full-screen?

Press the button. The page uses the browser's Fullscreen API. Press Esc to leave. On iPhone, where web pages cannot go full-screen, rotate to landscape and hide the toolbars by scrolling, or add the page to your home screen.

Will a solid colour screen damage my display?

Not in normal use. On OLED, avoid leaving any static image, including a solid bright colour, at high brightness for hours. A few minutes of testing is fine.
