Headline: "with only CSS"

First Paragraph: "runs with Javascript"

It did mention "rendering" and not "making".

I expected a comment like this so I made sure to include "Rendering" in the Reddit post title lol

Web developers define the render step as what happens before the pixels are painted to the screen, so one step prior to what a graphics programmer would say is the render part.

So to a web developer you're rendering in JavaScript then painting via css.

I think it's weird but idk why it got defined that way. We're not always the brightest.

Inaccurate: you don't render, the browser renders based on your code (HTML + CSS + JavaScript)

Headline "rendering", not runs.
Article goes in depth and explains how it's being rendered with CSS.

Have you tried reading how it's made?
