Building my own VSCode replacement. As a life-long Micro$oft hater, I can't describe how ashamed I'm for moving from emacs to VSCode "because" of the hype.

If you are fluent with Emacs, I imagine there is nothing major VSCode can do but Emacs cannot?

Disclaimer: I never used Emacs and mostly use VSCode, but I heard that emacs is very powerful.

I don't like emacs that much anymore, it's cool to impress juniors at work but it's just a cult productivity-wise.

Yup, totally. Emacs users been impressing juniors for fifty, and vimmers for over thirty years. Pretty much ALL software was ultra-productively done just this decade. Nobody really wrote anything before VSCode came to see the light ten years ago, most were very busy being junior-impressing cultists and remaining seven people actually done some shit in Eclipse and Netbeans.

Kinda late for the party, but... In the coming several weekends I'm improving my passion project – ad-free website with solitaire/puzzle games (https://inSolitaire.com). I got some valuable feedback from niche subreddits.

I've rewritten this project (almost) completely four times and tried my very best to make it work on both desktop and mobiles.

I would be grateful for any feedback as I'm looking to genuinely improve the experience. You can help me answering the questions "What does it lack?".

I have a huge backlog to cover for website, but so far it has been great fun and I have learnt an incredible range of things!
