@amerpie Hey I just discovered AppAddict (love it) by way of @hbowie and realized we’re on the same Mastodon instance!
Microblog
I’m interested in joining the Continue Watching Should Always Be At the Top of the Page Party.
I am deeply ashamed that my life choices have led to this moment at lunchtime today.
For any disabled peeps out there who require assistance when voting (as in actually casting your vote), I'd like to know your thoughts about not being able to vote privately. It really irks me. I've had a few bad and or weird voting experiences, and I didn’t vote this year because of it.
Nope we got way too many of those.

I couldn’t come up with a story idea this November, and my morale was killed by the continued lockdown of the NaNoWriMo forums.
So I don’t know what I’m going to be doing this month. Still considering GitHub Gameoff 2024. Also interested in all the blogging stuff people seem to be doing (not sure what all events are active right now).
Also I’ve decided to learn a new programming language so I might start that (soon as I pick a language).
@anniegreens So how does the WeblogPoMo AMA thing work? I read the explanation post, but still kind of confused.
Can I ask a question of people who are participating, or are they answering their own questions?
Has anyone used Back Market to sell a MBP?
I'm administrating my own server for the first time, so that makes me a sysadmin! No one said you had to be good at it to get the title.
Matter of fact, if you follow only the first chapter of HTML for People, that makes you a web designer!
Just found this silly animation I forgot I made. https://blakewatson.com/vhs/
What’s a good option for selling a used Mac?
The making of HTML for People. This is a behind-the-scenes look at the idea, motivation, and process. Something of a director’s commentary.

I need a cheaper alternative to DeployHQ because I’m at my 10 project limit and I don’t want to pay 2x more (I have lots of tiny side projects).
An obvious choice is GitHub Actions, but it looks kind of hard and also I hate YAML. Typically all I need to do is an npm or composer build, then transfer the contents of the output folder to my server.
Anyone know a good, easy alternative or do I just need to suck it up and figure out GitHub Actions?
I need to turn this thought into a blog post, but I’ve come to appreciate AlpineJS as a valuable tool when making home-cooked apps. No build step and you can immediately string together interactivity.
You’d want to be more careful if making a thing for other people—making sure you server-render what you can, don’t rely on too much client-side rendering, and don’t get too sloppy with the js-in-html code.
But for an app just for me? Weee… I can go so fast.
When I want to make a bulleted list using markdown, I use…
Everyone is a snob about something and I think I’m a line-height snob.
Don't use 1.5 as a blanket default. Use your eyes.
I updated HTML for People with some small but important improvements. I added a bit more explanation and resources around folder creation and relative URLs.
A lot of people inquired about a downloadable version. At some point I’d love to make a nice PDF. But for now I’ve added a printable version (see link in footer) that’s got everything on one page. You can save that to PDF.
Many thanks to everyone who has given feedback, suggested corrections, or filed issues!
