Cross platform e-reader that syncs comments, highlights, etc

Get Started, the first short book in the You Don't Know JS series: https://github.com/getify/You-Dont-Know-JS/blob/2nd-ed/get-started/README.md

The rest of this series is also good, maybe worth linking in section 6

https://eloquentjavascript.net/ is also good. I read the whole thing in about 3 days on a bus and got a lot out of it

And for Python, this site covers the basics and also has a little repl so folks don't have to mess around with installing: https://www.learnpython.org/

Just adding some of @aeshthetic's ideas so we don't forget them

Some folks would rather not contribute on GitHub. I personally don't want to lose the accessibility of GitHub, since most people are here, but it would be good to have another space set up on a Gitea or Gogs server. We'd have to make sure they stay in sync.

What do you think about moving the Matrix instructions over to the contribute page, and putting a list of current/future projects on the home page?

This falls outside of the norm as far as issues for this project go, but I'd like to discuss this out in the open. As the organisation begins to grow, I think we should weigh our options for discussion platforms such as slack, discord, matrix servers, etc.

Discord may be the easiest option for everyone, but matrix is comparatively more secure and is, of course, open source. Slack has paid features that I find essential (seeing conversation history, for example) which other platforms offer for free, so I don't think it's worth considering seriously.

https://eloquentjavascript.net/, the best book on JS out there for newbs, it's really good. I read the whole thing in about 3 days on a bus and got a lot out of it

https://sqlbolt.com/ is a great online tutorial for learning SQL

https://www.postgresqltutorial.com/ is specifically for PG

https://university.mongodb.com/ teaches Mongo, requires signup, but skills are transferable to other document stores.

I checked out Moodle, edX, OpenMOOC, Nekomy, and Sagefy, and it looks like Sagefy would be the easiest place to start if we don't want to start from scratch (my thought on starting from scratch with a small team is that it's a good way to risk never shipping anything). The code is decent, demo actually works, and it's not several years out of date, and it's Apache 2 licensed so there would be no problems with us forking it.

This site has some guided interactive courses which look pretty good.

This is a good primer on Docker and this one is good for k8s.

At this point in someone's journey they're probably pretty comfortable finding sources on their own and going through docs so I don't know that we need to point to a whole lot of specific resources here. I don't think it's possible to really learn ops in depth without actually doing it, so maybe pointing to the AWS free tier and some starters like this one would be good.

And some good reading on SRE: https://blog.alicegoldfuss.com/how-to-get-into-sre/

Is this a feature request or a bug?

Feature Request

Expected behavior:

It should be more clear how to use Matrix and join the ProleSoft channel.

Actual behavior:

Providing no more than a matrix link will probably confuse those who are used to messaging systems where they can simply make an account and be added to a group.

This explains some of the backstory behind what the deal is with the CLI, Unix, etc: https://smorgasborg.artlung.com/C_R_Y_P_T_O_N_O_M_I_C_O_N.shtml It's long but might be worth linking as optional reading.

This has a list of CLI alternatives to GUI actions: https://github.com/you-dont-need/You-Dont-Need-GUI
