This is really cool! I didn't know telegram was capable of these kinds of apps. How/why would customers find your store on telegram vs regular web?

All the same use cases as a regular iPad. I just want it so it's easier to hold.

Yes E3 is one of the easiest, along with Canada/Mexico. Should not be an issue for any company in the Bay Area.

I feel like I could have written your post, even today when I am in a fairly senior position and paid an uncomfortable amount of money. My advice for when this feeling gets overwhelming is to just put your head down and get a bit better than you used to be.

I don't mean study really hard, just learn any small new thing and over time you'll improve.

There's no rush and it's ok to be average. The fact that you say the "alternatives seem dreadful" means you are probably in the right career!

It's a simple static site with no server involved. Everything happens client side. You could turn off your internet while you're using it if you wanted to make sure no data is exposed.

Great blog post. I will incorporate some of those ideas (like testing) into the challenges.

I agree that the interviewer side is a mess and one of the long term ideas for this is to create interview packages for companies to help assess and calibrate FE candidates.

To avoid any conflicts I'm trying to keep my employer out of it, but it would definitely help with reputation.

Hey thanks! I actually stayed away from those kinds of problems because they're well covered by other sites, but I'm interested in what you mean by presenting then in my way?

Do you mean algos in a practical front end context?

Thanks again for checking it out!

In the talk you say that you reduced JS and therefore lowered TTI and saw more clicks on the signup button. Is it possible that you are just _tracking_ more clicks, but the total is the same?

Does it really matter how much JS there is if it's loaded after HTML and the user can already move to the sign up step without it?

This has a bit of a web front end slant. Check out https://www.acefrontend.com for another good source of practical front end challenges

Surprised https://standardnotes.org/ hasn't been mentioned. It popped up on HN a week or so ago and I've been using it ever since. Very simple, elegant solution with a focus on longevity. It's exactly what I was looking for.

Have you got an example/names of existing software? I'm interested to see what kind of features they have.
