I don't work in hiring, but I do enjoy interactive portfolios. That said, I think this could get frustrating really quickly for people who just want a quick overview of who you are, what you work on, how to contact you, etc.. Recruiters have hundreds of applications to sift through, they might not have the patience to wade through dialogue. Maybe keep important information easy to access and make the rest a fun game for those who enjoy it.

Anyway, this looks great and I love the voice acting!

I'd recommend making the world smaller and highlighting NPCs so they wouldn't get lost or wonder what to do. Also be aware that a lot of people browse on phones or tablets, so this needs to play nice with portrait mode as well.

You'd think, but it boils down to just showing you the most popular content, even if it's just clickbait and advertisements.

I use Joplin. It's fairly simple and very comparable to Evernote if you've ever used that, but it's perfect for my needs.

I used LogSeq before, it's very similar to Obsidian, the big difference being that it's open source. It's got a ton of features and the built-in whiteboard is actually really good, but I found it a bit overkill for my simple note taking.

  • Logseq also makes each line start with a bulleted list which quickly made me go insane

Electron isn't here to compete with anyone. It's a free open source community effort filling a gap. If you want to defeat Electron, you will need to fill it too; and you will need to do a better job than Electron is doing today — at the things that allow us to deliver a good experience.

I think that's the big takeaway, people like hating Electron (like yours truly), but if you want Electron to stop being so common there needs to be an alternative that's as powerful and flexible. Nobody wants to make that. Electron works, it's stable, it's industry standard, it's not performant but it performs well enough, and you can't beat web browsers in having a massive ecosystem where everything just works.

Tauri tried to be the Electron killer but it became apparent that OS-specific web-views aren't something developers want to deal with, and IIRC they're also looking into embedding a browser runtime which will make it more or less Electron again...

I appreciate the rundown! I started getting used to Emmet now, it's certainly more friendly than it looks. I think this is what I was looking for.

The short-hand for CSS in Emmet is also pretty neat, but It'll take some time to get used to it. w75p m10 turns into width: 75%; margin:10px

I saw this in my repos and still don't understand why subissues exist. I feel like this overcomplicates things, a checklist inside of an issue has the same effect. If you're going to assign sub-issues to different people, shouldn't they be just separate issues?

Anyways you can click on your profile in the top right --> feature previews --> disable new issue experience to turn it off for now.

I can't wait for the new game tab. There's been at least a few times where I needed to go through something frame-by-frame to see what's going on.

I don't think so, it'll just remove the bad results and you'll have to click next page yourself. Technology has its limits.

I think both of them would have a way to filter domains if you're self-hosting. The blocklist uses simple regex so you can probably copy-paste the blocklist straight into your filters.

I also bought a PSTV when they were on clearance for less than 20 bucks, makes for a nice little gaming console for the bedroom or guest bathroom.

The... Guest bathroom???

I owned a PSP Go a few years ago, it's a great device. I loved how tiny it is, but the screen was a little too small for me, and it didn't handle emulation that well. Loved playing Lumines and Patapon on it, though!

I agree, it's about the perfect size for me. Just small enough to fit in my jacket pocket.

I honestly wish PC handhelds had a similar size, but they're all tablet-size. Someone had an image comparing the Vita with the Steam Deck and it puts into perspective how large handhelds have gotten.
