I think this is a fantastic idea and will be trying it out with some friends later! The only issue for me is the pricing. The free tier is great for getting your feet wet but the $99 is too expensive for me to consider since I would only be

Personally, I moved from Obsidian to Foam: https://foambubble.github.io/foam/ VS Code is a much better editor, in my opinion, and I enjoy having the entire VS Code ecosystem of plugins available to me

You can use guard functions to validate external data. This same problem comes up in other statically typed languages. You can't guarantee that external data will be in the shape that you expect so you must validate it. If you're

I don't want to be that guy but I originally thought the CSS was broken. Harsh black on harsh white, everything squeezed in to the left third of my screen, and an unused scrollbar on the bottom. That being said, I love the information.

> VS Code will load quickly but every single goto def will take ages. I wouldn't blame that on VS Code but on the relevant extension. Go to Definition is instantaneous for me when I'm working in TypeScript

Why is it so difficult to find example code? The very first thing that every programming language website should show is an example. Show me what sets your language apart from the others and let me see if I like the syntax.

I don't understand how touch-typing forces an awkward posture. I had a self-taught typing style for something like 10 years before switching to touch-typing about 4 years ago. I'm just as capable of slouching, leaning, raising, an

JSX is just an extension of JavaScript. I wrote React-like code because that's very common right now but this would also be true for more traditional JS. const todoItems = [] addTodoItem.addEventListener(event => { t
