Of course, we just adopted Material for MK Docs about 12 months ago. I’ve been looking at Zensical https://zensical.org/ as a replacement, but I couldn’t fully reason why they went off and did their own thing. I wasn’t sure

Diagnosed ADHD person here. Among my acquaintances I’m known as a person who will accept coffee any time off day when I come visit. I don’t that because I really enjoy the flavor off coffee and it doesn’t seem to affect my sleep. Anecdotall

That was a great summary of the tech. Your height comment helps explain why my external mix setup didn’t produce as much snow as it did frost. I only had it about 8’ off the ground. This coming winter I may try increasing the height of the

We just had our third and this comment has tickled my interest. Do you have an example of any studies that indirectly support this? I agree that good sleep is more critical than people realize.

I know that people are beating you up over the price, but this is great. 1. Someone could generate the same asset for themselves using your open source library. Which is great for someone who has time over budget. 2. You are providing value
