Attention omglolers…
You know what the world needs? Yet another note-taking app!
Why? Because I had the address “write.omg.lol” and I wanted to make something fun with it! (This is the way.)

What’s the easiest way to tell every template to use my _includes/base.ejs layout?
I'm listening to @adam talk about passkeys on the @hemisphericviews podcast.
I’ve been scared of passkeys because I can’t easily use a phone (physical disability). But I just went to passkeys.io and discovered that 1Password will totally handle it for me. ❤️
The Hacker News ride was (is) wild. My site usually gets around 700 views per month. In the last couple of days it got almost 30K!
Is there a non-breaking em dash? I always have unfortunate breaks like this. Or is that fine? I guess it just looks weird to me.
Wow, I’m at the top of Hacker News!
