I actually came here to commend the author for letting me opt out of the nonsense. It may not seem like a big deal for you but the images are distracting to me, require more scrolling in order to reference something that was mentioned previously and do not add anything to your content.
BTW I think your content is great and I imagine you think so to. You commented on the fact that most of the comments were about the GIFs and not the content. I think that should be a not so subtle clue about the value of some lady waving in front of a green screen.
I read 90% of my content in emacs-w3m, in the terminal, where no images load unless I deliberately want them to. It also has the advantage of getting rid of javascript and most page design nonsense, flash, non-text ads, and various "Web 2.0" annoyances.
The result is beautiful, consistently formatted, lightweight, and perfectly readable plain text (fully integrated with my editor/OS, incidentally).
This comes close, but I think there was one where one user talked about how they use Spacemacs (Emacs with Vim style editing), and use Org files[1] to bascially plan their life. Meetings, Calendar events, reminders, notes, TODOs, you name it.
Great book recommendation btw. On Writing Well by William Zissner is a great one too. Less autobiographical (but the Stephen King bio IS great and inspirational - still recommend)
Oh, I forgot to do what I always do when I recommend King's book - skip the autobiography at the beginning :P
Maybe if someone really likes King's works it'd be worth reading, but I didn't find it that interesting. I think perhaps if someone wanted to make a career out of writing, it'd be good to get a perspective on what it took him to "make it." Otherwise, eh.
This is great content! Do you mind if I ask how you made it? Specifically the interactive demo? I've been working myself on a project[1] to explore tools for interactive demos, but so far I've just done one with a toy piece of content.
