How exactly does this help document things? Is this not just a static-site generator?

Or you could use the browser/windows(?) shortcut Ctrl+Home/Ctrl+End, or Ctrl+Up/Ctrl+Down. OR just use the 'take the elevator' link on the page itself.

> the easy fix is just to switch the websites you use to light mode.

The trouble is that `prefers-color-scheme` is set at browser or system level. In order for a website to use a different colour-scheme, then they need to add functionality with Javascript in order to be able to load different styling at user request.

I wish there were some URL-based rules you could set in the browser settings (I expect there are addons to do this, haven't looked though!).

> is the lowest cost complete titanium bike on the market, folding or not.

Do you have sources to back that up?

In the UK, the price on your website lists it as £2,025 (or £3,003 for the higher-end model). I can get a PlanetX titanium gravel bike for £1,799 - granted it's not folding, but you specified "folding or not"!

You're basically saying "don't own something nice if you don't want it stolen".

More needs to be done to tackle bike theft. Be that education, physical deterrants (cameras, good quality bike lockup locations, etc).

I've had a bike stolen, and the police can do nothing. A bicycle is small, easy to disassemble, relatively low-value, and they are untraceable items.

A car is higher-value, but more easily traced than a bike - due to a large number of factors; size, colour, shape, insurance/legal documents to prove ownership, ANPR cameras, etc.

I've been looking for this for some time. It's really useful to be able to easily find out which streaming service a film/TV-show is available on (or not on!).

Are you making any profit off of this, or is there any way to donate/contribute towards the upkeep of the project?

The logic alternative would be 'rename', so... 'rn'?

The issue there is that's dangerously close to 'rm'! I'll stick to 'mv' thanks.

This feels like one of those browser addons/scripts that replaces words,e.g

"being vaccinated" -> "watched the 1984 Ghostbusters" "unvaccinated" -> "2021 Ghostbusters movie"

I find it interesting that most of the comments are about physical products.

The 'best design' is often something that's so frictionless and easy to use that it's invisible in day-to-day use. Everyday infrastructure like steps are something that's noticeable when they're off (e.g. spaced too far apart, or too steep); most are designed well.

It's easy to find things that are designed poorly. But much less tangible to find a 'best designed' item.

I love the aeropress for ease of use, would definitely recommend. I've only used a moka pot a few times (one provided at an airBnB actually), and I'm interested in getting one, but haven't yet.

I think there's less temperature control with a Moka pot, and I'd say cleanup is more effort than a simple aeropress puck.

I love the concept of this, although I can't see it working out for me personally, as I often find myself meticulously re-writing text, so I'm hesitant about hand-written text (maybe that's the difference I need...?).

Separate question - Is there a feed of any sort (e.g. RSS / Atom) on the website that's produced?
