What is Do Not Type web app?

A chaotic April Fools prank that blocks typing, moves inputs, shakes screens, and logs teapot errors — zero utility, all laughs.

How does Do Not Type prank work?

JavaScript event listeners kill keydowns site-wide, CSS animates chaos, hover events relocate the field — traps you forever.

Totally. It's just frontend tomfoolery. No malware, no data grab. Try at your own sanity's risk.
