    I ran into this problem recently on one of our blog posts: we used some Claude output which included tables drawn with Unicode line drawing characters. However, our monospace font …

    Another interesting related technology is electromechanical vane display clocks: https://youtu.be/AradTqh0cuM . Each segment is shown (or sometimes obscured) mechanically!

    You could prompt them through the material. But you're right, that's only gonna take you so far if you don't know where they're having problems.

    That would be a really interesting platform for an npm alternative. I think the incentives are a little better aligned than in the WordPress ecosystem, but maybe not enough.

    In text boxes in some applications, enter submits the entered text, and ctrl-enter forces a newline (not at my computer, but I think Slack does this). In others, it's the other way…

    Maybe a rounded border? I agree it's too subtle as is. Also, your Segal's Law link seems to have an encoding issue with the apostrophe.
