Hehe thanks!

I think I will rework the katas,
remove some clutter and put them into a PDF.
Ideas on this?

Sounds great!
Do you have a particular use case in mind for PDFs? (nowadays I often prefer websites over pdfs)
Maybe consider adding smart / best practice solutions from Codewars (lots of brilliant solutions there!)

Great idea!
PDF was my first idea, because it is easy to download, to use at home and to archive.
But the more I play around with it, the more annoying it becomes to convert 30 markdown files to PDF, while giving it a good user experience 👀

Any suggestions for an existing tool that can create a nice website from markdown files?
Otherwise I will look for a simple Gatsby theme.

Yeah, I think it has been a couple years since I used PDFs as knowledge source, website might be more convenient today.

Imho, it partially depends on your current website stack (thought you might want to amend that to your existing one).

I've used react-static and then switched to nextjs for .md sourced pages, both are good enough solutions. Haven't had a chance to try Gatsby yet, should be a solid solution from what I've read. Btw, if you haven't already — it's a good chance to try .mdx (still on my to-try list).

Also, recently I've finally tried gitbook — had a great experience with it!
(though it wont fit if you'd want to extend it w/ playground or something)

I'm using Gatsby and I'm using it with .mdx.

Actually a good idea to have a look into gitbook.
And to have a look into a playground thingy, to remove the dependency to repl.it.

Thanks for your ideas.

Sometimes new ideas postpone a solid release 🙂
