I had deleted my Threads account at the beginning of the year and decided that I wanted to give it a try again. After signing back up using my Instagram credentials, I was presented with this screen. What the hell? It was apparently against their community standards to delete my account.

Well, after one day, this is what I've ended up with. My first Chrome Extension, a virtual keyboard. I'm building some touchscreen kiosks at work, built on Raspberry Pi that run Chromium in kiosk mode. Extension built on WXT, using simple-keyboard.

Another update on the photo management app, inspired by Picasa, that I am working on.
The import screen is nearly done. There are a few interface pieces that I have to connect up, but this screen is nearly there.

Just finished modifying the codebase from @payload.dev Form Builder plugin to support display conditions for fields and @cloudflare.social Turnstile. I also made it not a plugin and just put the files in my project.
The implementation is currently hard-coded to the Mantine component library.

I’m working on an MCP server for work that will allow our customer service people to ask an LLM about orders, stock quantities, etc. when customers call in. Can’t wait to get this working!

Currently converting my Picasa clone from a Tauri app to an Electron app. Tauri was good, but just didn’t have enough resources for me to reference.

A little over a month ago I purged everything from my Twitter account. (I will never call it X) Today I finally deleted the account. I also deleted my Threads account. #FeelsGood

It’d be great if @bsky.app didn’t show accounts that I already follow on the Discover tab. Or maybe if it was an option that could be turned on and off.

I finally got back to working on my Picasa clone last night. With the holidays and my vacation time, I didn’t really touch a computer for several weeks.

Quick tip for the new Mail app in iOS 18.2. If you use Categories, turn off Group by Sender if you want to use the Remind Me swipe option anywhere other than the Primary category.

Here is a Tauri context menu example in React and TypeScript. I had a hard time finding an example that I could get to actually work. This one is simple and doesn't require any event listeners.
Your app will need the "core:menu:allow-append" and "core:menu:allow-new" permissions.

I've been working on building a Picasa clone for about a week in my spare time using Tauri. Here's a screenshot of where I currently am in the process.
Features so far:
* Directory tree of folders
* View grid of images
* Navigate image grid with arrow keys
* Pin photos
* Thumbnail size slider

I'm working on my first desktop app using Tauri. I've been putting off upgrading MacOS on my wife's computer because Google's Picasa app will stop working. So I've decided to build my own version that looks and feels very similar to Picasa and has the features that she uses the most.
