The cutesy/manic writing style is a little jarring, but it seems like a lot of effort was put in to making a useful resource. Worth taking a peak at, don't let the style scare you off.
- mVChr 10y agoI like the change of pace. So many of these types of guides seem like cookie cutters of whatever the latest writing and design trends are. I find it nice to see indie zine style (stuff I like to read on my off time) fused with a practical technical resource (stuff I like to read on my on time).
- gricardo99 10y agoTo be fair, this is a spin-off (or elaboration) on an earlier post, where (if you follow the Author's blog) she specifically talked about how she'd like to write her own zine. The style is the point of it, I think. If you want less cutesy, here's the related post: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12059156 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12059156
- xbryanx 10y agoThe approachable/playful writing style makes it so much more engaging for me. It's refreshing to see some of this stuff explained in a conversational and enthusiastic manner. Obviously, just personal taste.
- blub 10y agoYou weren't kidding. The content is good (for the 7 pages I was able to follow it), but the comic book delivery is not working as well as her previous blog posts. Not searchable, more difficult to follow.
