A nice way to get quickly familiar with how to use emacs/(neo)vi(m), understand how keybindings work and how to uncover new ones, is to go through reading/practicing the built-in tutorial. It almost plays like games.

When opening a freshly installed emacs, there should be a "Emacs Tutorial" link that can be clicked; also the keyboard shortcut `C-h t` (which is «Control + `h`, then `t`»).

There is a similar feature in `neovim`, when opened type `:Tutor` (which is «`:` to open the command prompt, with command `Tutor`»).

And that anything will still exist in 100 years

Excellent idea!

Really cool that it respects the SSG conventions and separation of content, collections, templates, themes etc.

A good way to get straight in, is to download `emacs`, open it, and follow the built in "Emacs Tutorial" (click the link on the first page that is shown). It brings a new user through the concepts of the editor, how to move around, do some of the most usual actions, and get familiar with its vocabulary.

At first, it is also a good practice not to install any package, and use the built-in capabilities (`magit` and `org-mode` are now part of the default installation) for a while, the time to discover what comes with the "factory defaults".

Also, for some inspirations, watching videos from `System Crafters, Howard Abrams, Emacs Rocks` to see how some people use it.

It can take a while to get used to everything, or to install packages and customize it to what other editors comes with by default, but the reward is worth.

this exact same example used to work in firefox a few years back, i guess some change introduced this bug in between

is it doing HTTP range request, to not download an entire db?
