      there’s a tool called wakatime that many editors offer† as an extension, and you have to write a blog post every 10 hours, which the organizers will review along with the projects mentioned

      † meaning it’s on the editor’s extension marketplace

    This is super cool! I’d love having something like this when I was a kid! I’ll see if I can find some kids I know to take a look at this, and I’m confident they’ll have a blast!
