guess I wasn't very clear, I wasn't asking something like "why is purr data
different and how does it work", I'm really just saying that they "got it
right"

And like I said here, it seems that Pd Extended also did get it right in
providing the same visual consistency (I can recheck it). Now, Extended
didn't use web technology, so it's not like that is the only way to get it,
I don't think so.

But I know that I actually know nothing, so that's why I ask in clear
laymen's terms what's the deal here.

So, before anything, it's just a request and wish that this issue is
handled somehow.

cheers
