Thanks for the response. I might try converting some public domain text to Pollen sometime, any tips for getting around DrRacket's short comings besides separating racket and pollen source?

The documentation is an absolute pleasure to read. I think I'm beginning to understand the use case for it more. I would definitely choose it if I had a large source text that I wanted to publish. I have to write the docs for a project I'm working on right now, maybe I'll get a chance to play with Pollen then.

Has anyone tried to use Butterick's Pollen and written about it? The idea of debugging your website with racket as you write markup and styles seemed really interesting alternative to what I do; write styles, refresh, and then refine the stylesheet by incrementally adding changes with the inspector and then copying them to my stylesheet.

Very cool! I was able to use some 'strategies' for cell placement that I learned while making this:

It started as just an attempt to create the game of life in react, but as I started to add some interactivity to it, I started to wonder if there was an actual game in there somewhere. Never really figured out what I wanted to do with it though.
