How could they make the mistake obvious? It's a mistake in a string value!

It had me confused too. I figured I was looking for a syntax error in the config format since it’s an introduction…to the config format.

How about not making the very first thing on the page a confusing puzzle?

  • They should at least reveal the answer somewhere immediately close by. I couldn't spot the error after a few minutes, came to the comments to find out what it was. Not a great introduction because you're asking someone to spot an error in something they don't know the syntax or ruleset for.

    The project looks cool though.

    • Change the name from Bill to John/Jhon. That's more obvious than all the barcode characters next to each other.
