It's an interesting fact that one could save many lives by donating to charities and yet wouldn't feel quite the same way about it. Clicking "donate" on a screen and filling in credit card details isn't as thrilling an experience as yours even if it achieves no less.

It does require a bit more setup and getting used to but once you're up to speed you'll be going like a madman.
I highly advise adding PurgeCSS to the build pipeline with Tailwind, it can reduce the output CSS from around 250kB to 15kB for a small website without removing stuff manually from the configuration. The setup is explained in the docs [0].

You simply create your own component class and `@apply` tailwind classes to it.

Laptop manufacturers are starting to build in camera kill switches, see HP Spectre x360. Not sure how necessary it really is given you could just put a simple slide cover [1] on.

The trick here I didn't know about is that a `<style>` element's default `display` is `none` and you can show its contents by changing that.

I believe that the static site generators of this day are the next step in custom web development. I'm currently working on a Gatsby.js project using Contentful as the content provider and it really feels like the stack of the future - build with all the shiny tools but send a fast, static website to the end user.

This is the kind of thing I'm expecting to see more of coming from the ML field. Orgs fighting malaria should take these efforts into consideration, back them, develop ever more robust tools. Which might already be happening, I don't know.

I, on the other hand, would like to point out the lack of accessibility of this approach, it's unusable with a keyboard. Let's not forget about assistive technologies.
