When I submit veil to the gnome extension store, the reviewer gave me some suggestions that I need to apply before it gets approved and one of them was to have whitespace between functions and some code blocks like we all do when we write code.

The catch is I was using typescript to develop the extension and esbuild to transpile it to JavaScript. In this conversion whitespace gets removed to minimize the output size.

I surfed the internet for existing solutions but couldn't find one. So I made a plugin for esbuild called esbuild-preserve-whitespace that preserves whitespace when transpiling ts to js.

I never thought I would be stopped twice by one traffic light 🫥

THE UNCERTAINTY OF THINGS
(Kun Fè Ko)

Everything in life is uncertain.
Truly, in life everything is uncertain.
Uncertainty is a part of human existence.
Parents who enroll their child at school can never
Know whether the child will become something in life.
Everything depends on fate.
When a couple marries they can never
Know if the woman will have a child or not.
Everything depends on God's will.
Parents who send their child to Koranic
School can never know if the child will be wise.
You can never predict the future of a child.
The child's future is up to God.
Everything in life is uncertain.
