Same here! I also struggled to understand transistors for a while, for example by reading the related Wikipedia page. The visual point-and-click experience with explanations in the intro levels specifically made it click for me. Also the gamified learning is addictive. Thank you!


I'd like to genuinely ask: what's the benefit of providing a visually appealing feed? I thought feeds were meant for programs. Do you/people directly browse individual feeds? Nice feed look BTW!


Most of the time you wouldn't even notice that a web page is the result of a client-side XSLT transformation, for example:

https://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0182.xml


Some people aren’t familiar with auto discovery or feeds in general, so it’s desirable to have a link in your navigation that goes to your feed. When people click that link, they should see something useful and not just markup or a download prompt.
