Can you say min-width: placeholder or something similar to prevent it shrinking once you start typing?

Unfortunately not, but that sounds like a good feature request for github.com/w3c/csswg-dr...

You could probably approximate it with something like min-width: length(attr(placeholder)) * 1ch; if we had a way (e.g. length function) to get a numerical length value from a string in CSS.
