#2They're not really 'tricks' as much of mentions of assorted features of HTML and CSS. You get to discover a similar assortment of things (with much more immediately available detail and many examples) just clicking around MDN.

That’s fair, "tricks" may be overselling it. The website is meant to be a small, opinionated collection of features I want to remember, not a replacement for an authoritative reference like MDN.
I can probably make that positioning clearer.

#4There are some good descriptions and hints, but what the site really needs is examples. Just looking at the code doesn't help me much. The descriptions are also mostly so short, that they could just as well be tooltips on the homepage.
The whole premise of the page is a collection of "web tricks worth remembering" and I can't fathom what bash (e.g. `du -hd 1 . | sort -hr`) is doing there.

You’re absolutely right, thanks for the feedback. I initially included live examples (mostly through CodePen), but they were taking too much time to maintain, so I stopped.
The Bash entry was really just a half-finished personal note that I never properly edited. It’s probably out of scope too.

#6> Each post-it pairs one useful platform feature with a small example
I can’t find a single example; each post-it just shows some code but not the result of it.

If you mean the "Hide scrollbars" note, I agree 100% (:
There are a few specific situations where it can be useful, but I added the caveat precisely because it’s generally not a good practice.

Please keep it, personal notes are worth it. Maybe less navigation or +/- voting, then ranking would help us navigate your site?
Like in the good old commandlinefu.
