Thanks for your site and message. Sorry but personally I found your article difficult to read. Your font choice and background, which seemed to me to overwhelm the text with little contrast, made it hard for me to see and parse the words. Sadly I think much of your message was lost on me. For reference I'm in my sixties and have poorish eyesight. I'm using Firefox. Best wishes.

The site forces me to use a calendar widget to input my birth date.

I have to scroll over 30 years back in time by months.

Yeah, I gave up trying immediately upon realizing this.

At least on android you can tap the year and get a year ticker/roller input. You definitely don't need to scroll month by month.

This is what's frustrating with Google's Material Design. If tech-savvy users like me can't even find or know that the year is clickable, what hope do most non-technical folks or seniors have?

I noticed a fair amount of complaints about this in the thread, so am sorry for the poor experience.

In an attempt for simplicity I used a simple <input type=date> field which means it uses your OS or browser’s native date picker. As a Mac/iOS user I’m pretty familiar with those, but I’ll admit I did not test this across Windows or Android devices which apparently have not done a great job at this UI element.

Thank you for making this, also one of the most impactful books I read last year. And last but not least, thank you for GraphQL and your contribution to the open source community!

Thank you for making this! I read the book twice last year and it made a deep impact on me and my relationship to basically everything. The book, coupled with coaching has greatly improved my life.

Your site is a great summary reminder of the key points and it brought me back into the experience of reading the book.

For folks reading this, I do recommend reading the book since the website is just a taste of the book. It's lessons may hit different not having gone through the full journey.

Thanks again for making the tribute!
