anybody have any suggestions for learning openings?

[RockofStrength → snissn]

Chess.com seems to have excellent opening instruction. It actually tells you the opening name as you play. After you play, it gives you more. It shows where you screwed up, gives you a chance to find a better move, etc. If I was starting over (I'm over 2k now) I'd start with chess.com's interactive organic approach. Chessable is just rote memorization which is in essence trash.

I'm using Chessable (which is owned by chess.com). There are some incredible free courses on this plattform.

[psynister → snissn]

lichess has a lot of good free opening courses. chess.com has a lot of videos but you have to buy a subscription. Gotham Chess on YouTube is entertaining.

[dhon_ → psynister]

Gotham Chess is entertaining, but Levy's not doing so much beginner content these days. I like Eric Rosen's "speedrun" series. He's got an authorised speedrun account on chess.com (meaning that his opponents do not receive a penalty for the games) and he has a very calm style and takes time to explain the positions. Very educational.

[psynister → dhon_]

Levy's old stuff still holds up IMO. Rosen is also definitely good. Also the St Louis Chess Club YT channel is usually great if you're looking for something that's very in depth and don't mind watching 60-90 minutes of content.

[abjr → dhon_]

Eric Rosen is like the Bob Ross of chess.

I gave bun a test with react apps and found that it installs node_modules much much faster, but starting up a react dev server took the same time
