Two orgs worth donating to in this season of giving are Wikimedia and Internet Archive.

They arenā€™t without their controversies, but both Wikipedia and the Wayback Machine are IMO priceless resources and theyā€™re available for free. Iā€™d like to see them continue to be things!

Iā€™m trying to decide what to do with my dice rolling app, d20. Itā€™s based on Electron, which I donā€™t love. And currently the thing is built targeting Intel Macs. But I donā€™t want to ship a universal version because that would create an app size equivalent to two whole Electron apps, which is clearly ridiculous.

So I think my options are to ship a build targeting Apple Silicon only, or abandon the Mac app entirely and transition to a PWA.

I wrote about how I love Alpine.js for side projects and home-cooked apps.

(Reposting because my other one is a quote post and didnā€™t render my open graph preview. And yes, this parenthetical is longer than my text above. But you know what, I love a good parenthetical. Why do you think the ā€œbehind the scenesā€ genre exists? Itā€™s because parentheticals are great stories in their own right.)
