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.
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.
