That's awesome!
Way to bury the lead! :)
Excellent work
Unimportant fun fact, it’s actually “bury the lede,” but I’m here because I couldn’t remember why it was “lede” in the first place.
They spelled it “lede” to distinguish it from actual text to be printed so the ledes in the newspapers wouldn’t all accidentally be printed with “Lead: Mayor Opens New Waterslide.”
It was misspelled on purpose in the 1950s and now it’s a word that means something specific. Newspaper jargon is so interesting, like even “above the fold” and “slug” carried over to web development.
Anyway, great work OP! (With an extra fact)
