I’ve spent a bit of time recently refactoring and modifying the codebase that I use as a web editor for this blog. Mainly using different LLM coding assistans to see how well they can handle making changes and adding features.

Did some research into why physical writing is linked to so many memory and learning benefits. More of the brain is activated when physically writing. Including many of the “hubs” that are important for memory formation. The act of deciding what to write and thinking that through also helps to activate brain regions important for memroy.

Made some more updates to the web editor created for writing content for this blog. One of the big changes was going from a simple textarea to using the medium-editor node module.
