Congratulations on the work.

Some nits/notes:

- Browser history seems to go in a circle (at least in Chrome); try use the browser's native "back" arrow a few times after clicking through the link you shared from HN.

- Transition animations and element "load-in" animations make the whole thing feel slow and hard to use. As it is, I'm frustrated trying to look through recipes or moving through pages.

Are there any resources out there that anyone can recommend for learning testing in the way the author describes?

In-the-trenches experience (especially "good" or "doing it right" experience) can be hard to come by; and why not stand on the shoulders of giants when learning it the first time?

Maybe cursive in a "Comic Sans in the default 'cursive' fallback font on Windows" kind of way.

Absolutely right. I even find that 300ms in UI animations is still too long, but like TFA says, it depends on how often that piece of UI is used. Great Raycast example.

Hey, my first "career" was also in theater!

Strong agreement. I can confirm for other readers that the day I realized this --- "Oh, rejection means nothing!" --- was a weird day. It takes a weight off.

And it is true across every other field. There are way more factors external to the "you" of the decision, and they're given more weight than the "you" of the decision. This is one of those cases where you only need to experience the "other side of the table" once for it to click.

Companies that are more humane in their hiring practices (even just actually send a rejection email vs. ghosting) deserve a bit of credit, because caring for the applicant is not a KPI.

That would be the media query; sort of a long-hand way. I learned about the color function for settings the vars from the article, never saw those in use before.

DevTools in Firefox and Chrome both have a `prefers-color-scheme` override built in, no extension required.

I also made pretty heavy use of plugins to manage PCs, NPCs, encounters, items (!!), custom tables, maps, and setting details in a single campaign. Led to a lot of bug reports for the D&D-specific plugins, but Dataview worked like a charm.

Having a more Obsidian-native interface for managing all of that is. Like other commenters, would definitely watch a video of you sharing your Obsidian "build" for that use-case.

Hey, thanks for the reply. Big fan of your work! Cheers.

Have you ever tried the Dataview plugin?

It allows inline blocks in the `key:: value` format, as well as frontmatter-based data (sort of what Bases are doing) and probably even more.

GitHub recommended this repo as trending. It's essentially a bunch of Markdown files with prompts to copy to "jailbreak" various LLMs from many providers (with some older ones too, an interesting quasi-archive). I'm curious what you all think of what is going on in there.

I have tried Math Academy after seeing a post here a few years ago (I think it was to Justin's blog? --- he's referred to early on in TFA).

Echoing what others say: it was very cool, went quickly at first, but within a few weeks, progress slowed because I just couldn't ingest the new information as quickly, even when doing two "blocks" a day.

It is superior to the free tier of Khan Academy.

I don't know if it's superior to textbooks and problem sets in a self-study capacity.

I found it better than the (highly rated) math education I partially received in HS.
