Haha! My father-in-law just used it to justify buying an expensive chain saw. Although he *does* do voluntary work in a forest… ;-)

See my original post, I just fixed Android key issue (I think)—tested on one Android device, but please try again!

A common issue, sadly. Fixed (I think) by replacing Android keyboard enter key from "next" or "go" mode to "done". Please try again!
Added issue with your feedback, updated code, pushed, tested on my father-in-law's Android tablet, closed issue with a comment :-)

haha! Well, when you do… it might even be better. But it's web-based and not yet a PWA.

Thanks for the reminder - French, of course! Only registered one German domain, so yes! Still on Fasthosts… haven't researched alternatives (need auto-renew) for years, perhaps I should.

I remember that, but perversely we used it as an opportunity to clean up our servers! They were very communicative and we manage our own servers so our outage was relatively minimal. Rimuhosting are excellent, though.

For non-total corp avoidance we use NZ-based Rimuhosting (they are really helpful and profit-share with employees) and OVH (IIRC Germany-based).

oh, I think I am! Otherwise I'd never improve anything! I will get to that issue… no rush, but I will ;-)

Exactly how I used to teach students: open *any* web page, you’ll find these main tags!

Nanoc for (mostly) static sites, pure JavaScript, CSS and HTML5 for web app hobby projects like this one: daveeveritt.github.io/decision-mak...

My wife usually hand-codes SVGs for artwork, but just created this in CSS: kandinsky.fania.uk/boat/

I"ve also detected a kind of unconscious trip-switch in many perfectly decent people, as in "I can't believe this is really happening, or could get worse, so I'm just going to shut it out".

…and I still can't understand why other people never spotted it in all that time?

it's very hard to "nudge" the default behaviour of social groups if that behaviour is part of a group identity, which people are reluctant to challenge through fear of ridicule or exclusion, however mild.

hilarious! And sadly true. Nothing stays joined up unless frozen solid.

The three core front-end languages aren’t about to disappear. They’re what’s behind every framework/tool/trend/whatever. We taught HTML5, CSS, JS to students so they can go off and choose their own, or stay vanilla.
