I think it's neat. There's lots of negative feedback on here, which I would encourage you not to get down about. As always on the net, folks are probably far more likely to leave a…

Let's Blue and Pink all the things! These are great photos. But I confess I'm growing tired of this neon miami vice-ification.

Earth.nullschool is the original one.

Playing with the idea of a static site generator for the masses, instead of the multitudes of CLI solutions out there. Something to point at a folder of maybe 5 markdown files, and…

I made just such a template for myself recently. Sort of Medium-ish, single column; option for full width/bleed image: https://birddive.com/blog.2020-11-8.repurposable-templates.h.…

I sometimes use "inurl:wordpress" when searching for travel info. This ensures more first-person blog accounts, rather than all the tripadvisor junk that's at the top.

This is super cool. I was always a fan of Expose ( https://github.com/Jack000/Expose ) because of accessibility to beginners like me, and few dependencies. Pandoc is similar, but p…

Super cool, really fun! Same github account has a neat missile visualization as well: https://nagix.github.io/nk-missile-tests/

Pelican is also cool: https://blog.getpelican.com/

Yeah. I live in Tokyo and so my kid needs some English inputs. This is one effort to try to put that together.

Same here. I've started a small thing here: https://fugu.tv (piggy backing off this neat little repo https://github.com/iRaul/podcasts-repo )

It's tough. I've been thinking about this a lot over the years, especially with respect to youtube content -- which is really hit-and-miss to say the least. I'm trying to curate ch…

Good to see you ship to Canada too. I'm in Japan where Mixi has a service called [Nohana]( https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19966877 ) that's similar (but an app), but looking …

You might try a "free shipping" coupon code (instead of 10% off), as it helps a customer overcome some of the anxiety of ordering a box of something all the way "from Japan".

Agree entirely that SSGs are completely for developers. I recently wrote on a similar theme, hypothesising a static site generator for "the rest of us": https://1rick.com/static-si…

Take a picture of a traffic light, color-picker out the green and print it solid on a large sheet. Ask Japanese friends what color it is, they'll all say green. (Disclaimer: I once…

It mostly came down to math, and that 48 pages is typically the max number of pages for a saddle-stitch book. I explained a little bit more about the design process here if you're …

I use paper too, and have designed a small notebook around this idea of longer term goals with "crumb-size" daily actions: https://twentyweeks.com (shameless plug for my side proje…

I made a little pocketbook thingy based on a weekly "sprint" with a max of six tasks per day, to progress towards weekly goals: https://vimeo.com/252014662 I find keeping to-do ite…

> I hope a static site generator comes along with an intuitive UI for non-technical people to easily update their own content. This. (Although it seems a lot of people aren't in ag…

I started out trying to figure out what a weekly sprint kanban board might look like if it were a pocket notebook. Ended up somewhere a little different ( https://1rick.github.io/b…

Storify was pretty useful as a curation tool, and I remember using it to sort through the information/disinformation around the Japan quake ( https://storify.com/boheekim/collabora…

Definitely get some help if possible. But in terms of better planning, here's what worked for me: 1. Set a goal or two for your week on Monday. 2. Then each morning over coffee eac…

This is also super useful for learning a second language. I once met a dude in China without much of a noticable accent. I asked him if he had lived abroad, to which he replied tha…
