Just changed the blocks using the template literals to use the backticks. Left all the other ones with the tildas. Thanks!

Ok I'll try that. I used the tildas because when I used the backticks, the markdown rendered the first two backticks as a quotations ("), so it wouldn't even create a codeblock.

Hey Andrew,

Nah I still love it as much as I did before. It'll always have a special place in my heart – definitely in my top five favorite UI frameworks/libraries
