Very nice! And I actually learned something about cats. Never knew they can see a little bit behind them ;-)

Re: My daughter (7 years old) used HTML to make a website
#13Wow. This is so much better than what I created as my first website in 1997 when I was 19 years old.
I am deeply impressed.

#14This looks like a solid first step. I am also teaching my 8yo a bit of coding, starting with HTML but he complains about a lot of typing, he is slow in typing so it becomes painful for him.
Did your daughter face this problem?

#15> A dog that my aunt has uses a button to tell her if she's hungry or tired. I‘m intrigued! We also have two dogs and the more I know them, the more I‘m fascinated by their ability to tell us exactly what they feel. I didn’t know they can learn to use buttons to do this.
Have fun - https://www.hungerforwords.com/

#16I wish all websites looked like this again. Great job!

#17Love it! Well done Naya, the information on the page is excellent! By any chance was this made on a tablet? I see it mentions “tablet… make a website”. Perhaps if children grow up having accessing to tablets over computers, making websites on them won’t seem as foreign compared to a computer.
She made it on a macbook using textedit and the finder, but day to day, she tends to use a tablet.

#18Great work! Back in the day (when I was about 9 years old) I did something similar but for my poetry and dinosaur related interests, and that kicked off my still ongoing multi-decade journey in web development.
Ah the good old days :')

#19Wow, great stuff. Tell her she did a fantastic job! --- By necessity, kids these days don't even need to learn what a file is. Videos are "on youtube". Documents are stored "in ms word". The median developer even seems to have a very shallow understanding of how a computer actually works. And why would they, if they can just glue some Lambdas together to earn a buck? --- Praise those that look a bit deeper and really…
Files are an abstraction that was very useful in the last several decades, but that just isn't as relevant in the current world. Those videos and documents you mentioned are likely managed via object storage in a distributed database, itself possibly using block storage directly, with no actual "file" in an old-school filesystem anywhere in sight.
I still personally cling to files personally, but I have no real reason to believe that they are a fundamental abstraction that is more true than cloud lambdas.

#20She really nailed page load speed and to a large degree UX (links are clearly links, navigation just works).
Many large companies have wasted lots of money on performance and UX while still being worse than this!
