Designing for inactive users: Account check-ins and deletion

Artemis has been open for registration with an invite code for over a year. In that time, many people have signed up. With that said, not everyone who signs up will end up using their account. This is par for the course with software. Signing up for an account doesn’t mean so...

Redesigning the Artemis account deletion back-end

As I have been building Artemis, I have learned that the account deletion flow requires constant review. For example, whenever I add a new database table, I need to make sure that table is in the account deletion flow. I may also need to create an index in the database so I c...

Notifying users of page updates

Some time in January, I was going through my browser tabs and came across an Artemis tab that had been opened a while ago. But it took me a moment to realise that the tab might be out of date. My eyes went first to the posts from authors to which I have subscribed, then to th...

Brainstorming source code editing for web applications

Last year, I worked on a bookmarklet for editing pages on my website. When clicked, the bookmarklet would open the page in GitHub that corresponded with the page I was viewing. I used the bookmarklet so much I turned it into a browser extension, which I still use regularly to...

”I like to say that I was a garlic smuggler for the mafia, which I was, but there’s more to the story than that.”

@ehasbrouck@urbanists.social reflects on his time in a federal penitentiary, where the kinds of cooking Italian maximum security inmates get up to would have been completely unthinkable.

Drawing and hand-written fonts

I have been thinking about hand-writing and websites in the background for a little while. I made a hand-written font using Calligraphr a few months ago. I enjoyed making this font, but haven't used it for a web project yet. Here's what it looks like: While making the font,...

An Orchid!

There was considerable excitement out on the terrace a couple of days ago, because The Squeeze had noticed two very definite flower spikes emerging from a plant that has mostly just sat there for the past couple of years. At first glance I thought it might possibly be Chinch...

How very pleasant. Today’s quest was just to the side of what some people cite as the jewel of the Renaissance architecture, Bramante’s Tempietto. I couldn’t get any closer today, though I have been inside on other occasions.

Sandwich Questionnaire

I love sandwiches. Earlier today I was thinking about how you can eat a sandwich at any time of the day. I have eaten sandwiches for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. When I saw Zachary’s “Sandwich Questionnaire“, I thought I have to respond to this! I have been thinking about r...
