Julien Genestoux thinks the open web needs netizens. I agree – and in 2026, that's indistinguishable from citizenry.

So, two other Matts at Cloudflare announced EmDash — the spiritual successor to WordPress that solves plugin security. (Is it nominative determinism or a simulation glitch that everyone trying to terraform the web has some variation of “Matthew” in their name? I was in a call set up by Matthew Prince, talking to Matt Taylor … Continue reading EmDash Feedback →

"Nota shut down its news sites after Axios and Poynter found dozens of plagiarized quotes, phrases and photos."

LinkedIn is using invasive techniques to fingerprint your browser. Together with its understanding of your identity and professional history, it has the ingredients for an incredibly detailed profile.

I say time and again there’s a lot of stuff on my site. I consider the site a message in a bottle, a diary, a hangout, a digital garden, a junk drawer. But it’s mine and I like it. There are things here I forgot were here. Today I reworked 3 holiday cards from decades...

Thursday session

Flipboard's browser for the open social web is out for web users today.

Looking over EmDash. I don’t like that they call it “the spiritual successor to WordPress”. Isn’t the spirit of WordPress from Matt Mullenweg’s vision of the project? Matt is very much still involved. Feels wrong for Cloudflare to frame it that way.

This Saturday night in The Hope And Ruin in Brighton…

Please follow me at my new Twitter address: bullmancuso. Whatever anyone thinks of the company the product is still unique, there are people and communities there that I need to communicate with, and I just don't have that kind of network anywhere else.

My first real post in the New Dave On Twitter, or N-DOT.

This was another fantastic conference from the Clearleft team, and one that I hope is repeated next year. It is absolutely incredible what you can do in the browser these days, and even though I thought I was keeping up with the latest developments, it astounded me how far things have come.

Four years ago I wrote about something that has long puzzled me in the world of front-end development. Trust: The mindset I’ve noticed is that many developers are suspicious of browser features but trusting of third-party libraries. Developers are more likely to tru...

Never forget:

• The time Apple lied to the UK regulator
• The time when Apple told the EU that Safari is 3 different browsers
• When Apple tried to shut the UK investigation down
• When Apple’s VP of Finance got caught lying under oath
• When Apple tried to wreck all EU Web Apps

When I think of "Slack" my brain immediately translates it to "AOL." I'm not kidding.

Yesterday I wrote about AI introducing doubt with something as fundamental as how software is created now with the advent of AI software that can be used effectively to write software. Behind that I wondered if the open source developers of WordPress had changed their methodo...

Continuing, isn't it a shame that CloudFlare didn't take a different approach? What if they had created a fantastic WordPress runtime, which seems to be where most of their effort went, and that's where their expertise lies, not in crafting new user experiences. A service yo...

Coffee and breakfast earlier this morning at Sip Coffee. ☕️

I keep missing the W3C social web calls. I feel bad about it, but there’s a lot to juggle with travel and work. As soon as I’m settled in one place for more than a few days, looking forward to getting involved.
