today I learned that @discord.com finally has friend invite links on mobile (a feature I've long wanted) but it has the most unwanted behavior:
clicking the link opens Discord and accepts a friend invite, rather than sharing your profile and providing the option to request to add 🙃

compiling a list of N4 kanji to help study for the JLPT and I'm finding myself really frustrated with jisho.org because in more than a few pages now I've found duplicate word examples, incorrect kunyomi/onyomi word categorization, and examples that don't even use the given kanji at all

for a while now I've been beating the drum that you should just author your content in Markdown and use GitHub + VSCode as your CMS
with the right VSCode extensions and some imported CSS, your Markdown preview can match your site's content, giving you a WYSIWYG experience right in your browser!

turns out you can't programmatically select child nodes in @figma.com widgets, so while I can load remote Kanji SVGs, I can't animate their strokes as I had hoped to!
wanted this to be a Slides widget

over the weekend I had a thought: what if you could do syntax highlighting for Japanese grammar?
to my surprise, there didn't seem to be an existing tool for this, so I decided to try making one myself
now I've got a prototype of a remark plugin that does just that!
