@kottke.org has a Rolodex and I love it 💙

As others said, it's not that much of a leap.

What I'll add is that for me, the initial few kms of most runs are rather unpleasant and so I really enjoy longer distances (10-13km is my sweet spot). I'm excited for you!

wholesome

same with "I’m down for..." and "I’m up for..." 😫

oh, right! Hello again! I'm slowly re-emerging from my wonderful time off filled with joy, nature, art, and naps 🥰

maybe I'll do a write-up about it.

I loved the filters but also the color-coding! The modal was so friendly and sparked my curiosity to explore more (feel free to quote me when you're lobbying to bring it back 😂)

I imagined that it must be the maintenance. always the killjoy.
RIP colorful modal 🪦

Oh no, where did the Mux search modal go? 💔

It was amazing because it gave the users more agency on how they want to learn about a specific topic.

I'm snot-laughing at the new @posthog.com website 😂

Attention to details, sense of humor, branding, the hedgehogs -- oh, the hedgehogs 🥰 just wonderful.

Strong agree. I love everything about their docs: the content, diversity of content types and styles, the IA (information architecture), the search results modal. A pure joy.

Made how? 😻🥹

This calls for this banger of a talk:

Alt text: A customer notice sign is displayed on a glass panel. The sign reads: "Customer Notice Dear Members, Please note that shaving and hair colouring are not permitted in any of the showers or wash basins. Thank you for your cooperation BETTER the feel good place" The background appears to be a clean, indoor area with ceiling lights reflecting on the glass. The notice is printed on white paper with the title "Customer Notice" in green text and the remainder in black text. The "Better" logo is placed at the bottom right of the notice.

Who spends hours at a local gym’s bathroom to dye their hair?

📚Question to avid readers: how do you organize your personal libraries?

Is there a system you follow? By author, genre, color, time when you got it, theme, feeling, …?

Do some books “feel” like they belong together?

I did, like 15 years ago! Just out of curiosity. Now I only remember some words and phrases, sadly.

I didn’t know you’re learning bahasa! How did it start for you?

Help! Drizzle is trying to flirt with me

Tell me more about Finnish not being as difficult as people suggest 👀 what did you imagine it to be based on popular opinions? what makes a language easy or difficult for you?

also, to contextualize: how much Finnish did you learn/what are you able to achieve in it?

Of course! Thank you 🙏

Oh right! I’ll respond to your kind DM - I’m sorry, I was in Finland for a week 💕

What could be some alternative insults to “I hope you step on a LEGO”? 👀

Not yet! I think the talks will be online in a week!

I’m standing in front of the screen with the first slide from my talk - “Running Node.js inside your browser”, near a JSDay Canarias banner. I am half-smiling.

I just gave my first long tech talk - it was 45 mins!

And.. I actually really enjoyed the experience🥹💕 I found it easy to explain how WebContainers work - I leaned on my knowledge but also kept in mind the stuff I struggled with when building my mental model of WebContainers.

My sister’s love language: making random playlists 🎶

This one is called "pov you're a main character who's going through life changes for the plot” so you have a soundtrack for tough situations 🕺

I was looking for some picture yesterday and found this historic screenshot from 2019:

Fantastic!! I love it 😻

There is so much power in embracing the cringe

Be the earnest loving joyful cringe you want to see in the world

The definition of “code” may change but I think we will still write some of it. What do you think?

Oh my, mine as well hahaha
