Thank you! Definitely went on a lot of hacker side quests with this project and the article. And makes me happy you like the applets. I really like creating interactive articles, they can help so much with understanding, https://ciechanow.ski/ https://ciechanow.ski/ articles are the perfect example of this. It's crazy how easier something becomes to grasp if you can play around with it. Haha, the badge idea is definitely cool! I do fear for my less technical relatives becoming a target of a predatory app that should be free. Would be nice to quickly find good solutions. My trick is normally to search for "github" and find some random programmers project that is free of any monetization strategy e.g. "memory matching github"

I love the website too! Came here to sing similar praises. What's the stack you're using?

  Website is open source at https://github.com/TN1ck/tn1ck.com https://github.com/TN1ck/tn1ck.com. Tech stack is literally just a Next.js website and I write my articles in React. I tried other things before e.g. Jekyll, but I found that dynamic content is really hard to do there, annoyingly hard. I keep it super simple and don't do "the proper way" of things at times (e.g. the blog index is manually done by me). But that keeps it simple & independent to me. Next.js here is just a detail, I can always move to some other React-based static site generator. It's hosted at Cloudflare. The design is heavily inspired by https://turbopuffer.com/ https://turbopuffer.com/, I don't deserve any praise for that.

      Oooh thank you! I totally thought it was public - just changed it. Thanks for that. I got confused as I had my old website public already (https://github.com/TN1ck/tomnick.org https://github.com/TN1ck/tomnick.org).
