It’s amazing how many well-timed Office Space GIFs I get in my timeline.

I constantly switch notetaking apps. I decided to write about my current setup even though I told myself to stop doing that and maybe just write good notes instead.

Anyone miss the design of iOS 4?
I burped. I said, “Excuse me,” aloud. I’m alone.
A Zero bar is what AI would create if I asked it for a Snickers.
I hate it when I think someone texted me and it turns out to be spam. It's happened so many times now that I'm not sure why my brain keeps giving me the dopamine hit from seeing the notification badge.
What is the simplest solution for persisting user data?
I frequently run into a situation where I’ve built a neat little frontend app but need to persist some user data. My first instinct is to stick it in local storage, which is cool and totally works. But it’s at risk of being deleted by the browser and it’s not portable to other browsers or devices.
Things I’ve used:
- PHP/MySQL
- PHP/SQLite
- NodeJS/SQLite
- JSON files
- Userbase (third-party service)
- I’ve even used paste.lol as a BE
It didn’t occur to me until @mhilltopple mentioned it that September is 9. 🤯

@cferdinandi Hey Chris did the toolkit move? Getting a 404 on https://gomakethings.com/toolkit/
I looked at the time in the corner of my Mac and it read:

Whenever I see “So-and-so is on X” it takes me a non-zero amount of milliseconds to realize they are talking about a website, not a drug.
It’s a go to YouTube and type “kevin powell grid” kind of day.
How much of a sin would it be to build a table out of divs with CSS (and is it possible to do it accessibly)?
My confidence boost from being nearly carded at 39 was short-lived. I just found out Kagi is giving a t-shirt to its first 20k members. Unfortunately, no 2X size. Rip, me.
Woke up to a ton of Mastodon notifications. Who knew there were so many HTML fans? <3
HTML for People update:
- Finished a round of proofreading
- Added alt text to 70+ images
- Linked up a ton of resources (used Perma.cc on some of them to prevent link rot)
- Tweaked typography and color scheme
- Repressed symptoms of imposter syndrome enough to get the above done
Still a ton more to do but it’s coming along. I’m looking at a release date around November or December probably.
Got carded today (well, almost… she changed her mind). I’m 39.
Still got it, yall.
I wonder if the use of credits is a good compromise for fighting subscription fatigue. It allows a service to make ongoing income in a way that aligns its interests with customers.
You’re paying if you’re using it, but not if you’re not. Of course, credits need to be straightforward—as in how much money they represent, or what clear benefit you get from spending one.
The last thing I want is every web app selling me a bag of gems and gamifying everything for optimal revenue.
