The 3D site is fun and all, but I’d really love a plaintext version. The content seems great but inaccessible

I have been trying to find a game just like this from the mid 2000s for years now. I think it was called something like Qwyzle? I recall the format of the game being identical to this, of individual html pages and there were Facebook groups of working out of the 100 clues.

I recall GEB (Gödel Escher Bach) playing a key part in a lot of the puzzles?

A big part of my early internet experience sadly lost

Almost every podcast client has OPML export there is no need for a single backend to host that. Such a service would like end up awful, like Feedly

Or that they shipped and tested this page prior to the release of iOS 16 as that’s when the UX of the iOS date picker changed to this abomination

This is really interesting, thanks

Svelte and SvelteKit are absolutely worth playing with. It’s fun & refreshing. The svelte official tutorial is also nicely well made

My anecdotal understanding is that it has been GitHub who has been apprehensive to allow Heroku to reenable and not something Heroku could be lauded for

Scrum burndowns should not be related to time spent at all. That’s not an actual agile technique, that’s your company not trusting you and not understanding how software works. Story points that are meant to represent unknowns and complexity, not hours, used for estimation and burndowns are one solution to this
