When the company calls their home appliances "smart", what I hear is:
- they spent money on features I don't care about
- those features will be worse than standalone devices but will drive them out of market (looking at you TVs)
- the appliance is more likely to break
- my data is likely being sold to advertisers
- when the company loses interest in it and cut support, I will need to buy a new device
So no, I don't want "smart" home appliances.

Syntax highlighting isn't necessarily the difficult part, I can use something like Prism.js to provide that as I currently do as well.
My challenges are fundamental on getting from my ideas to even prototype level web component as I don't seem to catch a break in figuring them out.

My current idea/project is building a progressively enhanced code block with an ability to add custom annotations (basically highlights + explanations) to them.

I don't know why but I find learning #WebComponents so hard, despite knowing HTML, CSS and Javascript relatively well. I try to follow guides and docs and have a clear idea on what I want to achieve but somehow I can't seem to make any progress getting them done.

As the #SlashPages are now the hot thing in #IndieWeb, I'd like to propose a /why page.
It could explain the site author's reasons for doing what they do, their values and philosophies. Mine is currently a redirect to a blog post but I've been meaning to rewrite it into a proper /why page in the near future.

In addition to what Carlton said, I like the "about me" slides for the reason that I want to learn more about the people too, not just the tech.

This is why I love RSS as a technology. Unlike in social media, there's no "penalty" for publishing rarely. Every post gets equal attention and love.
