Microblog

I’ve been eschewing frontend build steps on side projects lately and wonder if anyone is doing that “at scale,” to use a buzzword. But I guess what I mean is are there people running vanilla on any medium-to-large web applications? I feel like maybe there are, but they just don't blog.

Anyway, if you’re reading this and that sounds like you, I'd love to know how it's going and whether there’s anything from “modern toolchains” that you miss.

CSS framework question.

When it comes to CSS frameworks and UI libraries, there are a ton of options if you use React and or have a modern build pipeline.

But what about frameworks that are usable as a single css file (no build) and customizable with CSS variables? I know about Bulma, Bootstrap, Open Props, and Pico. The rest I could name are fairly dated.

Anyone know of others?

As much as I love classless “frameworks,” I’m more thinking about ones that have a few pre-designed UI components.

My selfish motivation behind HTML for People is that I deleted my Facebook account in 2017 and now I need everyone to make a personal homepage.

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.

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.

I burped. I said, “Excuse me,” aloud. I’m alone.

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. 🤯
