Kudos for how much polish and documentation work you've done here. It's rare to see a v0.1 release that's this accessible to newcomers, even rarer to see it all from one person. You clearly care about developer experience and

Here's my wild guess: Some other code running in the browser window (probably a browser extension, but possibly another script tag in the page, inserted by an intermediate firewall/proxy) is doing this. It could be corporate spywa

Thanks for sharing this! It looks very powerful, but I'm having a hard time working out how to use it: 1. When I open the "Instructions" tab, I see dark text on a dark background, which is almost unreadable. (This is in a Chr

Question for those who've done both web and game dev: am I right in thinking that jQuery's like ECS, and React is more like (what the article calls) "parent, parent, parent"? Context: I'm an aged web dev with very l

This is a helpful and concise explanation. As I read the article, I continually wondered when custom elements would appear, and was surprised that they didn't. Adding this context around the link you mention would help. (I didn't

Just a few of the problems: * If your browser viewport is narrower than 1024px wide, the above-fold page section (i.e. the top, before you start scrolling) doesn't have a product pic. If the viewport is between 768px and 1024px wide, t

The article makes it clear that Moose Boulder doesn’t exist, and that Ryan Island does exist. But, unless I missed it, there’s nothing about whether Moose Flats (the seasonal pond on Ryan Island which would contain Moose Boulder) exists

Oh my god, thank you for this. I expected a bad situation, but I underestimated the badness by several orders of magnitude. Makes me want to never touch JS again.
