Part of 'TIL(Today I learned) Series'

Doing some sveltekit things

I found a tool called svelte-add to add things like tailwind and mdsvex to svelte project
I found out that instead of just about.md, now you gotta do about/+page.md(a directory and then a file inside it) to make a /about route using mdsvex
i learned about the properties of the <a> element in html
- target property define where the page load would be done
  - _self: Default behavior. Opens the link in the same frame or tab.
  - _blank: Opens the link in a new tab or window.
  - _parent: Opens the link in the parent frame (iframes).
  - _top: Opens the link in the full body of the window, breaking out of all frames.
- rel property specifies relation between the current and new to be loaded document
  - nofollow: Advises search engines not to follow the link for ranking purposes.
  - noopener: Advises browsers to ensure the new tab/window doesn’t have access to the referring page(when link opened through target="_blank", new tab/window can potentially access referring page through the window.opener object)
  - noreferrer: Prevents the browser from sending the referrer information to the linked page(http referrer header thing)
  - external: referenced document is not part of the same site
  - there are many more values
- download property specifies that the document should be download(like for a pdf)
reiterating the key, in almost all projects i just make a fresh new version and after 2,3 iterations, I get good enough results
