Collecting some frontend related notes, thoughts, bookmarks and tips.

  1. There are different indicators to define how multiline strings in YAML files behave.

    Block style indicators describe how line breaks behave: With a | (literal style) they are kept as a line break. With a > (folded style) they are converted to a space.

But often users just want their OS to be dark, while they prefer reading a website with a light background, for example.

  4. I have a lot of private notes regarding all kinds of topics: web development, my hobbies, finances, things to buy, work-related tasks, and so on.

This had always been a compromise though. What I actually wanted was to store them in Markdown files on my computer. […]

  5. There is a change event that can be used to listen to media query changes:

    const mediaQuery = window.matchMedia("…");
    
    mediaQuery.addEventListener("change", (e) => {});
