Hi, I'm Alex! I believe most of the knowledge is nowadays stored and hidden in personal blogs. I have a list of blogs that I read recurrently, and I have benefited myself a lot from this practice. One of the blogs that are usually recommended is the one by Dan Luu. Dan writes about a variety of topics in his blog, and I usually enjoy what he writes. But besides from the content Dan's blog stands out for the complete lack of CSS. IMHO this makes the content difficult to read (it's like reading text from a windows text editor). I believe more people will read and enjoy his blog if a pinch of CSS was added to the blog, so I've taken the liberty to enhance the reading experience. I wrote a script that periodically checks Dan's blog and publish the content in a static webpage (hosted using GitHub Pages). Regarding the CSS I just copied the CSS proposed in https://ift.tt/cp4Eur6 and changed the font family. Give it a look and see what you think! Enjoy the improved readability. P.S. The code that does all this magic might not win any awards for beauty, but it gets the job done. If time permits, I "promise" to tidy it up in the future. Your understanding is appreciated!
