YHK - yet another hacker news clone

This is great, definitely going to be using this to practice!

One note: It might be useful to keep the "undo" prompt when the user messes up after the first two prompted lessons for a clear recovery path.

Thank you for making this!

oh man this is great. thank you!

Cool, a small ux issue I noticed is that the grid cells are not clickable as a whole.

I did the first challenge or exercise, but I was honestly a little surprised that Vim motions aren't able to be used to choose the next exercise(s) in the sidebar that becomes visible. That could potentially be something that the player unlocks later on as well.

For all of the ciw examples, ce is easier since the cursor is at the first letter of the word.

Where dw works, this game teaches vlllld instead, which is a bad habit to teach.

Ctrl+A increments the first number after the cursor, which is easier than, say, f6r7 in cases where they do the same thing. Similarly, Ctrl+X decrements.

t:t: is weird when fY is much easier.

The Vim simulator has a minor difference compared to real Vim:

    0
    0

Start on line one and do CTRL-V then j then CTRL-A. Real Vim would increment both. The simulator only increments the one under the cursor.

Very annoyed I cannot operate the website with the keyboard, have to do the practices then use my mouse.

very cool! one feedback - when i selected all skills the game started with all the options of "fix a typo" first - i would like a version where all the challenges are jumbled up.

also there is an opportunity to turn this into something like vim.golf but in the browser

This got a laugh out of me. I guess I practiced vim commands in the most boring way - by using vim.

vim use is whats reliably helped me to remember vim commands. a bonus is I can use the same tactic for all other software and in many other domains where I'd like to keep related skills fresh in mind, at figurative fingertips

the marker "ma" exercises are a bit confusing since you do make a marker but in most cases you don't have to go back to make a change to that marker

I have considered getting into Vim a couple of times because it always seemed like the thing to do, but never did.

It does not make sense to me that I should use an editor I need to study and practice for. It can't possibly that much more efficient, especially given that usually speed is not the limiting factor for what I do.

Maybe one day I will be tempted to find out why it's supposedly worth it again.

The best game to learn hjkl movement will always be nethack :)

This unlocked the memory of when I first used vimtutor and discovered the beautiful world of vim
