This website shows everything that's amazing about the internet and about web development, when done right.

There are no popups, cookie warnings, ads or other cruft. It's informative, exquisitely designed, interactive in the right places, it loads fast and everything fits together perfectly.

I'm in awe.




hey thanks! I really appreciate your kind words

I'm really interested in using this amazing tech most of us have at our fingertips to try new ways to learn things. There have to be so many avenues we haven't yet explored, and I find that so exciting.


Agreed, except the font is subjectively unpleasant to read.

Easy fix is to change to font-family: serif; on the App component


Interesting! I'm actually a big fan of the font. Fonts are a weirdly personal choice - I'll think on adding a font toggle, since the whole point of the article is to be read.


Thank you for your work! It is definitely personal and as I mentioned, completely subjective. That is a great idea.

Well done for shipping!


Interesting—I’m exactly the opposite and very much enjoy the font.


Well - when I get the tooltip of one of the rightmost bars, I get horizontal scrollbars. That much for "done right"


If that's the worst thing you found, I'm stoked!

I was hoping that only happened at few enough window sizes that not many people noticed. This is an unfortunate side-effect of using iframes to show inline examples. There are a few solutions - I'm hoping to have time to work through one of them this weekend.


I wasn't really looking for problems, it's just something I noticed very quickly. Bad luck then I guess. Upon further testing, it does only happen with certain window sizes indeed.

But it's a typical example why front end development with web technologies still isn't where it should it be.

And I'm not blaming the front end devs, the technology just isn't up to the task. The fact alone that you have to deal with problems like this is telling enough.


Your second sentence should end with a period so I'm not taking your feedback seriously.
