Yeah, I've been grappling with the definition of creativity too. There's a gamedev talk [0] on creativity that gave me useful perspective. Here's what I wrote elsewhere: --- i've been thinking about raph's definitio

Yes, and and it might help to have a second stream for those smaller things -- a microblog, notes, or TIL section of your site (I call mine nuggets). It helps relieve the pressure from full-length blog posts. A place to let yourself drop be

Ah my bad! Didn't scroll down far enough. Shame. Maybe the fi ligature messed up their spacing.

You're probably seeing an Android bug. The default Android monospace font borks the spacing of box-drawing characters. It's been like that for several years. EDIT the same thing might happen on some niche Linux distros

I like the AAA WCAG recommendation. I'd also recommend from my casual experience listening to lots of old people... - a large font size by default, and maybe a font size slider on the homepage. Test everything at 200-300% scale as WCAG

Kudos for a well-executed project and for a tight-knit community. Funny coincidence -- I know someone else working on porting a local card game to software. Seems like niche traditional card games are more a European thing?

I think I watched some educational TV program like 15 years ago that did a poor job explaining quantum physics, or overhyped it and set off my BS detectors. Idk. A weird mix of poor memory and miscommunication and outdated information I thi

Any takeways from streaming? I hear it's eye-opening to look back at your workflows and bottlenecks. Like to see how long you take on certain things that you didn't realize were pain points. Not sure if you experienced that along

Awesome! Anywhere we can look for updates, like a website? FWIW, my shallow understanding of quantum computing as a programmer, in case you wanted perspectives from your potential audience: - I thought quantum physics was a sham? Like on pa

Happy to hear! Some of my thoughts when building it: - I haven't implemented audio support yet, but it would be nice - I like --dry-run - I didn't use a TUI widget library, but now it's at the point where it's tedious t
