I was trying to line up a couple of third-party controls while about five flex-boxes deep and the controls had some really weird width issues where they had a lot right-hand padding for no apparent reason. One of those things where if I could hard code widths it would take a few seconds, but, of course, you don't want to hard code widths unless you absolutely have to.
Yeah, we're building a race of frog-people. It's a good time

You shouldn't need the password to delete it.

Sounds like the controls are the problem, not CSS, but yeah, oof. Definitely so much going on in CSS that it can feel crazy. Thank God for chrome dev tools.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Laura, I'm scared to do that! I don't want to delete her gmail account, just remove her personal info from this phone.

Hey. New board.
Don't worry zen, iPhones don't have control over google. That will just delete it from the phone.

Hey. New board.
You could also reset the phone. That would clear everything off and let you set it up fresh. Settings->General->reset->erase all content and settings

Ha, Gris! So confusing, I thought Google controlled everything! Thanks for that, I really didn't expect it would be that easy to reset an iPhone.

Hey. New board.
This is my favorite little project I've done for my students in a long time, and I learned quite a bit about CSS while making it.
It won't be useful to anybody who isn't in my CS class, but I was proud and just want to show it off, heh.

That is pretty awesome!

Hey. New board.
Thanks! I gave my students a little template project to make really basic single-screen apps - essentially an html file with a couple of sample screens in that form and a javascript function called "switch_screen(id)" to enable the screen switching through hiding/showing the sections - to let them focus more on the javascript side of things and less on the HTML. We have been learning java in the course mostly, and there are decent GUI builder tools for java GUI apps, but a lot of them want to do web stuff for their final project.
The drag-and-drop javascript DOM API is much easier to use than I thought it would be, honestly.
