People and blogs involved with and about the IndieWeb community, the fediverse, and/or the open web in general.
An open source project that has already produced a great app for learning Irish—programmed in a language called Draíocht (sin “magic” as Béarla)!
I’m supporting this on Open Collective.
Naming is hard. New Kickstarter for Build Awesome, the renamed Eleventy. Both names are a bit awkward:
With Font Awesome, we made icons easy. With Web Awesome, we unlocked framework-independent web components. With Build Awesome you can now quickly build and maintain your entire web site — the full (stack) enchilada.
Apple’s pricing this week is interesting to me. Doesn’t matter the size or purpose of a device, everything is the same price:
Steve Jobs famously said that computers are a bicycle for the mind. What does that make LLMs? An e-bike for the mind? A car for the mind? A jet plane for the mind?
Good question. I think bicycle still works, though.

This month the topic for the IndieWeb Blog Carnival is “Museum Memories.” As I thought about what that prompt brought to mind, I was flooded with memory. I used to play hooky from high school and go to the San Diego Museum of Art. My friend Susan curated a show at San Diego Public Library’s...
I had to back the new Brandon Sanderson crowdfunding campaign. Opted for just the new novel.
I asked for a feature of the outliner from Drummer that it automatically opens a file in read-only mode if there's a URL parameter with the address of an OPML file. Like this.
"If you like pizza you might like this."Then I had to ask Claude.ai to write me a nice little outliner that runs in the browser. And it did. With a flourish. It was designed to make me the guy who designed outliners for most of a lifetime, and I have to say it was very nicely done, for a two-minute project. Even for a two-week project it's pretty nice. Then I asked it to do a priorArt outline, and it looks really good in the this.how template. The power of standards. And I had a full day of work even while Claude.ai was doing these mind bombs for me.
Brent Simmons blogged last week about why Objective-C. I still prefer Objective-C and plan to continue to use it. One change I’m thinking about making, though… Going all code for UI instead of XIBs or Storyboards, to make it easier to diff when working with AI.
Cosmic. Everything would be perfect about this morning except I just opened my AirPods case and… it was empty! Accidentally left them at home. ☕️
