alt Hacker NewsDoes it bother anyone else that it links to Codepen instead of just putting them on the page?
Like I get this is a blog system but it still feels odd, especially for a "use this plain HTML"-style post...

It doesn’t really bother me.
It seems to link to the authors codepen. If you us code pen you can bookmark the snippets. Codepen colorizes the html/css etc.
Link rot is a thing though, so it’s not always ideal to have dependencies on third party urls staying the same.

Bothered me greatly. Should have done on-page AND a link to codepen for you to play with
So much about html only that makes me load 2mb of code pen and heavy ui to see the example. Yeah it’s terrible ux. same as most of the examples are bad
