quick-lint-js is the best option for ease of install and intuitive feedback

[@hicarodanrlley149]

Thanks for letting me know that comic sans is good for dyslexics! ❤

[@johannesCmayer]

How do you know that comic code improves the ease of reading. Is it just intuition. The Wikipedia on OpenDyslexic says that OpenDyslexic did not really help in reading comprehension. Do you think that is different with comic code, and if so, how do you know that?

[@strager_]

I have heard Comic Sans-style fonts are more readable, but I think that's just pseudoscience and marketing. I use Comic Code because I like how it looks.

Stragerman!

"npm install --save-dev foo" can be replaced with "npm i -D foo"

[@strager_]

I like spelling it out for clarity.
