This sounds incredibly fascinating. Do you have a link to the specific episode or a title?

I owe much of my current success as a professional software engineer to the instructors at Treehouse. As an intern, I went from 0 to learning the fundamentals of JavaScript on both the front and back end. It was the one site that helped React finally click for me.

I don't know if you are reading this, Andrew Chalkley and others, but thank you for making such lovely courses. I hope you find or have found something better out there!

Safari in the upcoming macOS Monterey and iOS 15 do exactly this, syncing tab groups between all of your devices :-) well, Apple devices anyway.

I hope Chrome adds this to their own tab group feature set soon because it’s pretty nifty!

Thank you so much for this! I was looking for an optimal config myself, and this saved me so much time :-) Cheers!
This app is wonderful! I’ve been using it to track a handful of habits for a couple of weeks now.

The fact that it’s leveraging Org mode on the backend is magic, I’ve been craving more mobile apps that let me throw unnecessary Emacs at them :-)

Just as an example:

  #+TITLE: My habits
  * TODO  Breakfast
  SCHEDULED: <2021-02-27 Sat 08:00 ++1d>
  :PROPERTIES:
  :STYLE: habit
  :LAST_REPEAT: [2021-02-26 Fri 11:58]
  :END:
  - State "DONE"        from "TODO"       [2021-02-26 Fri 11:58]
  - State "DONE"        from "TODO"       [2021-02-25 Thu 08:41]
Which reminds me, I should eat breakfast!

With an app like Scriptable, you can indeed! This one lets you write JavaScript code, and they added the feature to pass in parameters with iOS 13.1!
