scroll

This was SO helpful. Thank you so much! Immediately I realize that we need placeholder text in the textarea. Just tried to do it but actually requires a CodeMirror plugin, so will have to tackle tomorrow (https://github.com/breck7/scroll/issues/135). I was rooting for you to press a keyboard key that would trigger the autocomplete, such as "n", and then it may have clicked, but so helpful to see your (painful) experience so I know we need to surface that better, and provide more guidance. Tomorrow's version should be a lot better. Thanks again!!! Also, appreciated the commentary on the blog post. Definitely not my best writing, and I will clean that up at some point too. This made my day. Thank you.

I should make this easier to use any day now. High on my priority list. Here's the issue: https://github.com/breck7/scroll/issues/133

Super helpful! Thank you! Fix pushed: https://github.com/breck7/scroll/commit/dc10ea246c54f1ae1d4c...

Here is how you would do your image example in Scroll: rst: .. image:: example.jpg :alt: alttext scroll: image example.jpg caption alttext "Directives" in rST are "Parsers" in Scroll. The item above would be parsed by the `imageParser`, which at ~50 lines of code (https://github.com/breck7/scroll/blob/b8fd72aa38742cc6cd575f...), is actually more code than the average parser. To write your "exercise extension" in Scroll, you would just need to write a few lines of code definining an "exerciseParser". You could put that in the same file you use it in, or in a file named "exercise.parsers". I think you should explore Scroll -- https://scroll.pub/ -- might do everything you need in a simpler way!

Just don't make it easy for them by showing them https://github.com/breck7/scroll/tree/main/parsers

> Regardless if you specialize in React, Rails, Django, Next, Java, C#, or ObjectiveC, you probably use templates to start new projects. Java, C#, or ObjectiveC devs are unlikely to want their first command at the shell to start with `npm`, or the software supply chain fiasco npm drags in.
