It doesn't help how arcane the TS documentation is. Important docs live as frozen-in-amber changelog entries; huge tracts of pages "deprecated" yet still #1 on Google. Google "typescript interfaces." #1 is a page th

This site is unexpectedly AWESOME. The frontend is so nice! The audio perfectly syncs up to a video when you open up the accordion, and I love the giant fonts. The best part though is the bitcrushing image carousels omg. The images get high

Oh, it's because the site does `*{visibility:hidden}` during loading. Don't do that, show us the intermediate state >:) You're artificially making your FCP also be your TTI, which means page navigation, when everything sho

I thought it just ran around on the top line of the header, and was quite taken with it. I then scrolled and it followed me right into the middle of a paragraph. Less taken, but cat's gonna cat.

I have gone through 10 final rounds… I feel there are so many candidates that small things are getting called into question. I’ve gotten dinged for being too verbose, for being too terse, for being nervous, for having to debug, for not debu

Agreed, love the look and typography. You don't see too many serif fonts in interfaces these days.

There's also "dynamic rendering," in which you serve Google/crawlers "similar" content to, in theory, avoid JS-related SEO issues. However, it can just be a way to do what the parent commenter dislikes: render

Big inlined resources impact paint time - a lot! You'll see this by running Lighthouse/PageSpeed Insights on the posts. E.g. no map: https://imgur.com/a/5CJjEUq vs map: https://imgur.com/a&#x2

Indeed - looks like SVGO can crush that map from 500kB down to like 80kB! Users on constrained data plans will love that. Of course, the author notes they want higher fidelity at some point. They could consider breaking the SVG into quadr

Super neat, the end result looks great and adds a lot to the posts. On the downside, inlining the map causes the HTML to balloon up to ~500kB/~180kB gzipped, compared to 30kB/10kB on this post (which lacks a map). The site is alre

My dull chef's knife got caught when I chopping an onion and nearly lopped my fingertip off. I was not a very good chef that night.
