self teaching is hard

Published: 2022-03-22

title ._.

im trying to rewrite pk-web in svelte right

and thats cool and all, awesome framework, good language, cool cool whatever

but then like, as i was writing the first version in next and react, i found a better version that someone else had written (and they were and still are in the process of rewriting it in svelte, that's why i decided to move mine to svelte as well) so some of my motivation for the project kinda died since someone else had beat me to the idea and did it better

but me being the spite filled person i am, finished the part i had been working on, and resolved to move onto rewiting later

well, im at that rewriting step, and hnnnggg teaching myself is hard

since im working in the same framework, i can read the source from that other project so i thought id do that to get a feel for how to do things

but im looking at the source right, and in some places i have absolutely 0 idea wtf is even happening

theres one file

that i just

have no clue whats happening

and the only reason that is, is because i actually have very little experience in js and even less ts

so there could be some very obvious things that i just dont understand because i dont know of the relavent features of the language

and the worst part, is i dont know where to go to learn those things
