Sunset, Düsseldorf

The moment when the sun crosses the horizon feels like it should last longer than it does. Within a few minutes, the sun has moved out of view; the red glow — a moment of transition (is all of life a moment, or moments, of transition?) — tells us where the sun once was. The ...

Of the night; a note

The joy of exploring a city with friends — of getting lost and finding your sense of place again, of laughing under the moon and discussing the rainbows we see when we look at light; of discussing the cuisine of Germany in a warmly lit bakery, a treat as the day came to an end; of looking forward to the next day — conversations and talks and futures.

🔗 NetNewsWire Now Getting Feed Images from RSS

netnewswire.blog/2026/04/28/netnewswire-now-getting-feed-images.html

Makes sense. In fact, FeedCity only uses the images and/or icons specified directly with the feed.

Eventually I should probably fetch the icons from the website as a fallback. But c’mon: just include the icons directly in the feeds, please.

In NetNewsWire 7.0.5 we made a change to get the feed image from RSS via the image element.

Weather

Last week, I had a call with someone for an upcoming project. I naturally asked how the weather was. Shortly after I asked, I realised that I don’t like to ask about the weather just because British people like talking about the weather. I realised that I wanted to see a sli...

I had such a great time at IndieWebCamp and @beyondtellerrand.com !! Had to leave early to catch my train and be in bed at a reasonable hour (Math class tomorrow morning 😵) Taking a lot of inspiration away from this (long) weekend. So glad I came!!
