Does anyone remember the third-party Twitter client, DestroyTwitter?
I used to love that little thing. It was super themeable, and I remember getting all kinds of wild ones like Dr. Pepper, where the entire UI was different shades of maroon.

I’m straight up obsessed with The Chilling Alpine Adventure. I don’t know what to call it but for now I’m going to say it’s cinematic sci-fi art rock.
I grade myself on 2024 goals and give some project updates.
You’ll never hear anyone say they regretted blogging more. It’s always a good thing.
Just wanted to shoutout @things for being such a beautiful, elegant, and helpful app. My projects wouldn’t get done without it.
Anytime I start using a new text-based app, I like to give it the shrug test. Can it render the following properly:

Me: Hey can you keep this folder synced on all of my computers?
Dropbox: Your free AI calendar is ready for you

OH: “I’m a dollar sign guy. I like my jQuery and my PHP.”
I'm not proud of it, but I just won an argument with a dog.

Two orgs worth donating to in this season of giving are Wikimedia and Internet Archive.
They aren’t without their controversies, but both Wikipedia and the Wayback Machine are IMO priceless resources and they’re available for free. I’d like to see them continue to be things!
I feel therefore I am.
What’s a good Mac app for listening to music files on your computer? I dislike the Apple Music app for reasons. Currently trying https://swinsian.com/.
An album I discovered on @kampf’s Nerd Show ended up sweeping my Spotify Wrapped top songs.
Incidentally, I wonder is AOC is doing AoC. :)
Decided to try Advent of Code for the first time. Doing it in JavaScript. We'll see how long I can hang in there. If things get too math-y, I'm screwed.
Guess what! It’s time to add @zachleat’s snowfall script to your website!

I’m trying to decide what to do with my dice rolling app, d20. It’s based on Electron, which I don’t love. And currently the thing is built targeting Intel Macs. But I don’t want to ship a universal version because that would create an app size equivalent to two whole Electron apps, which is clearly ridiculous.
So I think my options are to ship a build targeting Apple Silicon only, or abandon the Mac app entirely and transition to a PWA.
