I find this idea of getting in early interesting, because it is completely novel to me. Is it common for people to derive so much pleasure from voting for something before it gathe…

Being unscientific, societies veil deficient idiocies, reifying their weird, counterfeit policies.

I agree. I occasionally turn to them to see if they work in a new setting, but find they never expose the features of a grid I would find useful. Everything must be manually placed…

I was looking at Marko a few years ago because of the concise syntax. I have always thought highly of Pug and would have loved a framework that integrated that sort of elegant, min…

What is remarkable is the frequency with which I’ve heard so-called subject matter experts do this on podcasts. It seems to me a very effective way to communicate your lack of any …

Preview is genuinely very good, but it doesn’t handle annotations made in Acrobat very well. When navigating between annotations, they can become stuck open in Preview, and it is n…

This thread also makes me think of Susan Sontag’s essay On Style .

I suppose that would make those employing Boustrophedon ambidextrous? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boustrophedon

Agree that it seems like a pretty steep jump for my use cases too. Makes it clear how generous their free tier has been. Comparing the current free plan to the incoming one, as an …

Another category, searchable interfaces, may fit into one of these or may be it’s own separate category. But tools like MacOS Spotlight or the command palette in some editors are v…

Love the idea but today’s was not a good one.

As a metric user, this is an interesting point that I haven’t heard before, and I think the other responses don’t really engage with it. Yes, familiarity means this isn’t much of a…

Without meaning to high-jack this thread, you can do Base64 decoding here. Also no ads, 100% client-side, and no AI. But no string auto-detection either! https://www.takeymakey.com…

I suppose there is no hard requirement for consistent saturation between hues, but that seems a bit inconsistent to my tastes. Darker yellow and orange colours seem a little too wa…

Knowing which font is used with a hundred percent certainty, maybe not. This probably is something more people should be aware of. But the failure mode might be some slightly awkwa…

I’ve been using a similar technique to display our poll data[1] for several years, although without using grid. If you can measure the text because you know which font will be used…

I made a little platform to house some of my simple tools. It is part REPL, part form-builder. All tools run on the client, which constrains what is possible, but still proves usef…
