This, very much so. One of the (few) things I genuinely love about modern frontend web development is the speed of the edit loop with React and hot reloading. Look, I'm an engineer; _writing code_ is my jam, not clicking pretty widgets

Since you already have an exporter that produces class-style React components, it seems like it would be nice to have the option of class or functional components. I've worked on projects with strictly class-based components, strictly

But...why? I mean, I get it -- domain registrars aren't exactly at the top of my list for easy-to-use, reliable, trustworthy partners that I want to build a core part of my business or identity on top of. But I'm damned sure that

That is awesome! I hadn't seen that when you wrote it; I wish I had! Thank you so much for giving it a try, and -- whoa -- writing about it!

No, this is the Yankee approach! No red-blooded Southerner, raised on cornbread and unflinching politeness, could engage in such relentless pushiness without dying of shame along the way. (alternatively, said red-blooded Southerner might ju

I hadn't thought of that as "natural learned behavior" but I think you're definitely on to something there. I'm not sure when, but sometime in the last decade I internalized the lesson that the best way to get throu

That is...a very fair qualification. I grew up white in the South, where my mom used to tell me stories about school integration. Knowing that my otherwise-welcoming neighbors/family/peers might randomly turn out to be racist assh

The solution, like it's been for pretty much all of American history, is to _move_. We're a migrant people; when opportunity calls or the cost of living where you are gets too high, we go west in search of greener, cheaper, less h

While I'm not disagreeing with you, that's not really the case here. If anything, my free users tend to be retired hobbyists while my paying users are running local, in-person retail businesses on usually razor-thin margins. They&

This is _exactly_ why I stopped keeping TODO lists, and started keeping DONE lists instead. What's a done list? Think of it as an anti-TODO list: your DONE list is where you write down everything that you've, well, done. You know
