Word Glyph is pretty neat! Interesting idea and great execution

Green highlight is for new users.

I woke up with the idea for this game in a dream. After waking, I spent the next two hours in a recliner refining the idea, then I shot off a message to some friends to see who wan…

I think iOS safari already breaks bottom bars by having phone controls show up when a user taps near the bottom.

This blog post shows how not to use AI. The author would have been unlikely to write such a uselessly redundant conclusion if they had to type it themselves. Edit: I like the post,…

What is ASDF?

What does CLP stand for? It is not immediately obvious to me from the page.

Can you remove the annoying "give me your email" popup? It's preemptive enshittification.

This is impressive and mirrors a lot of thoughts I have had about the future of backend frameworks. I love the focus on local development for things like pub/sub.

FYI, the redirect to /login breaks the back button on Firefox for Android and probably other browsers. Had to hold back and go to a history entry to escape.

An old timer I worked with during my first internship called these kinds of issues "the law of coincidental failures" and I took it to heart. I try a lot of obvious things when deb…

There is a huge difference between having a post removed in a moderated community and having a post be punishable by the law of your nation.

I found I formed a deeper connection with my D&D group once we started doing non-D&D things together. It was a switch from consistent friends to close friends.

It would probably be a stretch and overreach, but the angle I would take is that they are competing not on the merit of their products. Consider airline miles. Each time I purchase…

I wish loyalty programs would be considered unfair competition. They are a drain on society.

Regulatory compliance. How can I know what laws are applicable? Accessibility, taxation, privacy, record retention, etc. are all areas that I think many businesses could use help.

Agreed! I think this is the start of something that will be big in a decade as adoption goes up.

This places all the trust in the institution that mints verifiable credentials. (or the institution + Auth0 if they use Auth0). This is good for use cases where you want to assert …
