anon1094··on Show HN: Vocab Top – AI-powered vocabulary builder that helps you retain words
Anyone who's learned a language to an advanced level knows that after a while you have to use the language itself to learn the language. You can't keep relying on translations because there are so many language-specific and culture-specific nuances that translations can't quite capture.
anon1094··on Firewood Splitting Simulator
It's all very satisfying: the animations, the chopping, the graphics, and the sounds. I spent more time than I should have chopping splitting firewood.
anon1094··on There is a shadow hanging over this Fable thing
I'm glad someone finally mentioned this. These are cute little interactive demos, not games. It has made me appreciate real game design much more.

I tried the japanese version. I like that you are using real Japanese language YouTube videos. You can see the kanji on the videos though so it kind of defeated the point. Hide the video? Great idea though and very fun too.

The problem is that these LLM responses, even if they're browsing the web to get data, are accumulated from random blog posts instead of the official AWS docs. If they're not browsing the web then it's giving you outdated data it was pre-trained on.

It looks interesting. Do you not have a free plan or even a trial?
anon1094··on Docusaurus – Build optimized websites quickly, focus on your content
Yeah, it's great for non-front-end folks! The default themes look pretty good, and you can use a bunch of pre-made components right in your markdown.
anon1094··on Docusaurus – Build optimized websites quickly, focus on your content
Hey John, thanks for your contributions! Also gotta give a big shoutout to Sébastien and the crew for creating and constantly updating Docusaurus - it's one of my favorite docs software.
anon1094··on Docusaurus – Build optimized websites quickly, focus on your content
Docusaurus shines in docs-as-code scenarios. I used it for Amplication, Februar, and other technical docs projects.

The SEO features, integrated Algolia search, and built-in components save a lot of time and help you focus on writing markdown.

The plugin system and React-based customization is powerful, but for most projects you should be fine with the provided components and editing the custom css file.

For a look at how a dev tool company uses Docusaurus to implement its docs, check out this article on Amplication's approach:

https://medium.com/abundant-dev/amplication-documentation-ca...

This might help those wanting to use Docusaurus with a docs-as-code workflow, especially when using GitHub or other git platforms for reviews.
