Whenever the singularity happens and human jobs are replaced with robots, it means we get to spend our days tinkering on our personal websites full-time, right?
Right??
I made a ton of progress over the weekend. It’s looking like HTML for People will go out this weekend or sooner!
I'm absolutely not defending Matt Mullenweg, but I just want to point out that many people could have quit just because the offer of $$$ was available.

I’m pretty bummed about the state of NaNoWriMo this year. I usually sift through the Adopt a Plot forum thread this time of year, but it seems the forums aren’t opening this year. Looks like the org imploded over some slimy people in the community and now the community aspect of it is dead.
I’m gonna lose followers over this but a bagel is just a sad donut.

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. 🤯

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.
