This should prove quite suitable for rapid web development, where most currently use svg-based alternatives like heroicons etc. I wanted to do a similar project in the past myself but stopped after realizing the enormity of the emoji set; I

This is good. Good penmanship and the pursuit of it is a very enjoyable and rewarding practice. Since you mentioned you experience with fountain pens and a desire to learn a spencerian derivative, I want to give you a heads up that fountai

This is a good comment. I do have a contrary opinion however as I generally recommend a spencerian derivative over an italic one to new learners these days. One could say simple Spencerian derivatives are like Rust with a steep learning cur

I share your affinity to the older reddit ui but why bother using an addon for redirecting when you can opt out of the redesign in settings instead.

Phoenix is written in Elixir, so definitely not a 1:1 mapping, but because of the underlying BEAM VM, most of what makes Elixir robust should in theory also apply to Erlang. Apart from OTP which is amazing, I don't know anything at all

This is good advice. Django, for example, isn't the hottest tech on the block by far, but that's not necessarily a bad thing. Where some see bloat, others see maturity. There are a lot of QoL features like the ORM, forms etc. etc.

I can see that, it's pretty much the standard progression for flat edge pen work. Felt tips -> Pilot Parallels -> Flat metal nibs with specific inks.

Jekyll still fits the bill. It is simple, does data with collections, supports templates(which accept parameters and can thus be "component-ized"). It's also supported natively by GitHub which is a big plus, because you can

It's not though. Colace is primarily an emollient laxative i.e. it acts by softening stools and is not necessarily as active as the other kinds of laxatives in inducing bowel movements. As such you shouldn't expect it to provide a
