Also a raw HTML writer, but I’ve been considering the SSG route to make site updates (global nav changes, redesigns, etc.) manageable. You seem to have some method of handling this…

I have asked for feedback a few times—particularly on ones where I felt I got close to an offer. Unfortunately no one has even responded to these requests. The remote thing definit…

I came to suggest exactly this, though I'm not sure I've ever seen it in the wild. Set a flat minimum amount you need to collect for the software and allow your customer to either …

I run my mom’s portfolio site through porkbun.com. $10/yr domain + $3/mo hosting = $46. I used to use nearlyfreespeech.net for my own site and it was even cheaper, but a little mor…

Image maps unlocked expression on the web for me when I was a kid. I enjoyed coding websites, but felt creatively limited by what I knew to be possible with simple HTML and CSS. Wh…

Yeah, I hate the cloud saving too. Fortunately that's something you can customize: Preferences > File Handling > Default File Location. There are a lot of other useful settings in …

> The new save dialog is insane. No, I don't want to save a copy just because I want to save a jpeg. Why is this even a question? I don't like the new save/load stuff either, and m…

Appreciate your thoughts! The suicide bit was definitely a joke, so no worries there. I hear what you're saying, and definitely get how the sharing bit that has helped Figma take o…
