Just an FYI, uBlock is killing the chat form on the right. I had to disable it to get the form to show up. I assume this is because of the Olark integration.
A nice way to avoid this would be to set a timeout of a few seconds and, if that div is still empty, show a message to the effect of "Nothing here? We use a third-party chat provider that is unfortunately sometimes blocked by ad-blockers. Please disable your ad-blocker to proceed. We don't serve any ads on BugRex."
Yesterday this was called ReactChat and a more amateur looking free chat type thing. Not a criticism, but it is very interesting to see a service morph like this in real time :-) I think there is a lot of potential here if done right, so best of luck.
Is it possible to pay extra for explanations that will help me build a better mental model of HTML & CSS layout?
Aside from flexbox[1], I've felt for years that the mental model of layout I gained from reading explanations of the box model, blocks, and inline-blocks never made sense.
