A proper backend developer would have the query be a URL using the GET method with a parameter that the user can fill-in directly in the address bar and the result be a text/plain page with just a bunch of numbers separated by pipe characters (or an application/json page with that info encoded as JSON if you wanna be fancy).

This has the added advantage of working both for humans and as an API for use in machine to machine communications via HTTP.

They have this cool hack where they emulate Edge within Node.js and then run their stuff as a webpage within Edge.

Asa backend dev, it should be a 503 error. I live in 503 land.

Looks like a perfectly fine frontend to me.

You need to fire a gun and to a really good bald eagle impression.
