Congrats on the launch! I currently work on projects where HLDs are nothing more than brain dump / thought organising experiments just prior to getting some PoC code bashed out. I …

Like many I've been waiting for Mozilla to start providing useful services for which I can pay. Firefox VPN is now available in my country but upon closer inspection I can see that…

This is great. Thanks for sharing. I've often wonder how the gamification of debt / saving could work. Have you considered that at all?

I'm building a privacy-first fitness / health tracker. I managed to lose a lot of weight during lockdown with the help of fitbit but using a Google service to handover my most pers…

Ah! I didn't know Sainsbury's owned Argos. As we all know our high streets are failing hard, I always pictured (given big enough tax breaks) old/traditional high street companies (…

I always remember when I first started surfing at the age of 10 in the North Sea. I was always sick and off from school with stomach bugs. My anecdote is hardly scientific proof bu…

Anything between £600 - £1200 (so far). We have the process nailed. I'm sure most will agree that the clients with lower budgets are generally more 'work'. So what we do is have in…

We started using Weebly for projects where clients neither had the budget or the technical requirement for anything beyond basic. We've done four in as many weeks, it really is pro…

Just a thought and I've only glanced at your code but could some of the functionality in the Carbon library come in handy? especially for the logic in weekendDates()? I like to thi…

A morning mini-hack and accompanying article. A great way to spend a Saturday morning.

I'm incredibly interested in angling my career towards security and have no real experience. Wouldn't it also be wise to keep people like him 'out of the loop', I imagine it's much…
