Positives: nice uwu art.
Negatives: requires javascript, intrinsically ableist.
Could you elaborate on how it's ableist?
As far as I'm aware, not only are they making a version that doesn't even require JS, but the JS is only needed for the challenge itself, and the browser can then view the page(s) afterwards entirely without JS being necessary to parse the content in any way. Things like screen readers should still do perfectly fine at parsing content after the browser solves the challenge.
How is the art a positive?
What do you mean, how?
Cute anime catgirl, a staple of the internet, without having to be showy or anything. And there are hooks to change it.
(Was actually half-surprised they didn’t go with “anime!stereotypical egyptian priestess” given the context of the software, but I feel that would have ended up too thematically overloaded in the end)

There’s another challenge available, without javascript.
