acenturyandabit··on The death of web development education
Formal education has more than just an instructive role. In fact, it's everything but the instruction. Reciting content to learners doesnt necessarily help them learn.

Teaching should turn into conveyance of taste. The teacher should help figure out what needs to be examined and how to examine; help figure out ways to close the gap between the textbook and reality. AI can't do those things well yet, and perhaps it never will be able to.

Love the aesthetic! Also your handwriting input is super smooth, amazing!

I've been building something similar for Chinese, just for myself: https://hazel.daijin.dev/ It's got PWA, let me know if you want my presets for working with PWA with Vite.

Will definitely be taking a few pages out of your (app) when I get a chance!

Can you give us a publicly viewable link of some content people have created?

An outliner would be a good way to represent this info: something like Workflowy, Org mode, Ravel or Dynalist. You get nested bullet points that you can collapse.

I am trying to solve this problem with a generalised user interface platform. The aim was to separate data storage and data representation, so that two team members could work from the same source of data and have it represented in different ways.

Collaboration at no cost to individual UX. But i never really got it to work because noone ever wanted to collaborate with me in the first place...

Oh hi! Another person looking at AGI I see. I'd love it if you could share your reading list in more detail (anything else?)
