New release v1.3.0 of mkdocs-quiz brings #i18n ! (internationalisation!)

If you run a multi-lingual #mkdocs_material site, then the quiz elements on page should now show up in the right language (assuming it's one of the ~13 supported right now).

Many thanks to @dunossauro for opening the issue requesting the feature, then contributing Brazilian Portuguese translation 👏🏻🇧🇷

I made a new plugin for #NodeRED that allows you to create complex #Nextflow automations using Seqera Platform.

That's great and all, but it didn't feel quite silly enough 😝 So I made a demo using Node-RED on #HomeAssistant to control my smart light bulbs and have a #pipeline #party. Oh, and also play #DOOM 👀 🪩 🚨 🕺🏻

Enjoy 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

Anyway - if you have a #mkdocs #material site then give it a spin! It's super easy to use and helps add a little interactivity into your site. And did I mention that there's a confetti cannon? 🎊 Can't go wrong with confetti.

Bug reports / feature requests welcome!

It's experiences like this which make #opensource such a pleasure to work with! ❤️ It's also a good reminder that reaching out to people to collaborate nearly always ends in a better conclusion 👏

I wasn't sure whether to publish this as a new thing, or to contribute thousands of lines of code upstream. So, I asked! Sebastian was an absolute gent, and after a few emails suggested passing the plugin repository and PyPI package over to me for development (he will stay on as co-maintainer).

I found mkdocs-quiz by Sebastian Jörz - it was exactly what I wanted: simple, easy to embed into our existing markdown and worked out of the box. I had a quiz up and running in under 10 minutes 🎉

I had a few ideas, then suddenly it was 2am and I had completely rewritten the entire plugin 😂

So how did this come about?

We've been talking about having some multiple choice questions in the #nextflow training for a while. The website is built with the wonderful #mkdocs #material by @squidfunk

It came up again a few days ago, so I started poking around for plugins.
