<p>2020-05-13</p>
-<p>Lately, I've become obsessed with trying to see what I can create using only HTML and CSS (besides websites of course). Since playing with the concept of <a href="https://uglyduck.ca/fake-3d-elements-with-css/">faking 3D elements</a>, I wanted to circle back around to an older CodePen I created: a mini, interactive undo keyboard.</p>
-<h2>See it in action</h2>
-<p>Below you can view a live demo of the mini keyboard itself. This demo is nothing special, but takes design inspiration from Apple's magic keyboards (if that wasn't already obvious).</p>

<p>The core skeleton of this project is very simple, since the keyboard consists of only 2 interactive buttons on top of a basic base element: </p>

<ul>
-<li>Keyboard base</li>
-<li>Command button</li>
-<li>'Z' letter button</li>
+<li><p>Keyboard base</p></li>
+<li><p>Command button</p></li>
+<li><p>&#8216;Z&#8217; letter button</p></li>
</ul>

<p>You could easily improve upon this concept by rendering an entire interactive keyboard, if you so desired. But this is maybe something I would tackle at a later date when I have a little more free time 😉 For now, a simple mini undo keyboard is fun enough to play with.</p>
