I think not every post could fit under this umbrella. I see it more like how YouTube generate their timestamp section onto video which doesn't have one. It is suitable for longer videos but not so much for shorter ones. Do you know what I mean?

Also, I kind of addicted to collapsible table content that I learned from GitHub can be applied here too like this below. I've been using it ever since.

But how would you link to the anchors in the table of contents? I can't seem to find a way to assign my headers an id

Like GitHub, each heading has its ID that is normalized to a URI.
You can see this article: dev.to/jacktt/go-build-in-advance-...

Nice! I love details/summary in HTML, I didn't figure out how to do this in dev.to.
