In an attempt to put myself out there, I have started a blog to write about my experience as a software engineer. Feel free to check out my first article :)
Any conversation
Developed a Vinboard (my pinboard.in clone) shortcut, works really well. On iOS it lives in Share menu, on macOS in the Dock. Click sends the current browser page (Safari, Chrome, Zed, Firefox) for bookmarking. On the server side Jev decides tags from 60 least recently used; and archival opens a real Chrome to save the whole page for posterity.
Unlimited API limits and direct requests to the database.
Pinboard charges for much less functionality $22/year.
Having spent the last 12 months using HTMX in $day_job, after 5 years with react, I have come to the opinion that whilst large amounts of JS and CSS are not necessarily wrong, they should be reserved for progressively extending the platform with a composable set of generic UI primitives that build out a cohesive design language — encoding business logic (including routing) there is generally a mistake
I have a toddler.
I come home from work, cook, feed, clean, wash up. We read stories and play. I put him to bed.
Then I put something on the television and my wife and I scroll on our phones until she goes to bed.
I am not so careless with the little free time I have.
I continue to scroll until about 1 am.
The next morning I do it again.
On the weekends, I get to drink wine.

Adding features is easy. Minimalism is hard.

creator of textlog:I agree that minimalism is hard. That’s why the subset was explicitly recommended small. Yet, I believe it is extremely useful to have.

Bold/italics add unnecessary noise/clutter and the font is already monospace, suited for code, so inline code & code fences are not needed. If 3rd party clients want to implement them it's fine but I'm sensitive to visual noise.
