If you like it, you can delete these collections. This shows that you have made progress.

In addition, when browsing these contents, of course you don’t need to read them all.

The descriptions are correct, but they are indeed excellent platforms. You can save some platforms and never look at them, but you will always use them when you are looking for inspiration.
