What are your favorite in-depth deep dives into a less-known topic, which is also something that can spark interest for a field? Non-computing preferred. I recently had the pleasur…

A starting page focused on natural rhythms around us. A reminder that the earth keeps on turning, seasons are in motion and each day the sun has a slightly different arc across the…

Really appreciate the graphics, in-between summary elements and the progress bar widget. A bit too much colorful font variants my taste as it leans towards distracting, but hey eve…

What would be an easier niche in your opinion?

I'm also curious about ways to provide value with a technical project. The challenge when exploring this topic: the incentive to stay under the radar. Those succeeding don't have m…
