That's a very chilling thought.

I don't think this is going to be enough. We see everyday people affected by the pandemic yet many of them still refuse to get vaccinated, keep distance or even wear a mask... They will just dismiss these consequences as "one offs"...

I believe that our best chance is to do as much as we cand right now and to induce a sense of climate awareness into the younger generations. Bring them up believing, well, actually knowing, that the climate must be respected and protected constantly.

I'm asking you this as I believe it will help me in the future. Is having the knowledge about the tool better that having the skills to solve a set of problems? If I really want a position within a specific company (for whatever reason) but they use a language with which I haven't worked before but am willing to learn (and definitely have the learning skills for that!), would I be in a disadvantage with respect to another candidate, one that has extensive knowledge about the language (and ecosystem), even if I would have experience in the "field of the app being built"?

That's the beauty of the good old scroll bar: if it's there, you know you can scroll! This does not happen on smartphones and tablets due to the limited space.

This is really cool and nicely made! Congratulations! I'm assuming you don't have years of programming experience (feel free to correct me!) which makes it even more impressive when looking at the things you got right. This include the idea/functionality, layout, source and that cool Moon animation!

I would suggest improving a couple of things:

1) defaults:

  a) some people don't like pickers (especially this "modern" hour then time thingy) and would like to just click the "Calculate" button. I think that the value that you have already set in the picker is good enough for most.

  b) eliminates issues where the value is not visible in the GUI but it is set in the program. Right now, if you open the picker and click on "Cancel" (or outside the picker) without selecting a time, the input does not show a value but you can click on the "Calculate" button and it calculates using the default value.

2) tables of data: if there's not much data in a table, like in the one the recommended sleep time, do consider copying the data instead of rendering the image. It makes the data searchable (accessibility is important) and, usually, saves an additional request for that resource.

Definitely continue! You're on the right path.

The article mentions that the difference between movies/songs and games is that the later is interactive while the former aren't.

Movies and songs don't offer (yet?) "in-movie"/"in-song" transactions, therefore they aren't a potential source of revenue.

Already there... At least in Germany.

If it's going to be .net, give Blazor a try: https://dotnet.microsoft.com/apps/aspnet/web-apps/blazor.

Still, this does not completely skip de design/style part.
