Just had a quick peek - well done creating this as, it's going to be important for many developers! (me not so much though)

Not urgent, but I am keen to see you correct the term "hashtag" for URL fragment identifiers. That's not what they are and it just reinforces conceptualising web standards erroneously in the webdev community. I think Twitter is to blame for starting down this path of misunderstanding when they popularised hashbang URLs. :(

If I think of a snappy, intuitive alternative, will let you know - coming up blank right now :)

Thanks for pointing this out and your explanation.

Maybe it is as simple as using "anchor"?

Or "Anchor tag"?
