Cool! :)

Btw, there's a busted link in the "What is Lost at SQL?" section, where it says "A SQL learning game by Robin Lord". The link on "Robin Lord" seems to be missing "https://" at the start, so it's getting wrongly turned into:

https://lost-at-sql.therobinlord.com/www.therobinlord.com

Hmm, are you open to other reports of weirdness? I'm noticing typos and similar in tutorial instructions.

Not to mention in the story itself -- they aren't severe typos, but definitely noticeable. Wondering if English perhaps not OP's first language?

Chapter 1

Chapter 4

> the internal radio has falled to the ground and is just out of your reach

fwiw, I'm enjoying it so far! But these typos get caught by the HN editor, so...

Definitely open to feedback in that regard! Somewhat embarrassingly In both English and have a degree in English... but I had massive scope creep on this and was usually smashing out bits on planes, trains, and automobiles so tried to catch silly things but clearly missed some!

Thanks very much! Should have caught that
