Metrics are good for the crossword game this past week - still looking into some UI bugs on smaller screen phones. So cool that people are using it!

Lots of new updates for my crossword game! Feels like it's really starting to come together.
- Keyboard support (arrows/tabs/backspace)
- Better clue navigation
- More consistent typing behavior

Next up:
- Use localStorage to save results
- Browsing capabilities for past puzzles

Made some UI updates to my mini crossword game 😅 Wanted something fun and cheesy and I think I got it.

I have some enhancements coming this week around clue and crossword cell behavior. There's a bit of awkwardness that needs some smoothing.

Then, onto storing stats 🚀

Bummed that the NYT put the mini behind a paywall? I made a small 5x5 daily crossword game that scratches that itch.

If you have feedback, please be kind 🙏 I made it in a couple days and it's still a work in progress

Over the weekend I listened to a clip of DHH on a podcast. He used the phrase "merchants of complexity" and it really stuck with me. DHH argues that with vastly more powerful computers and browsers adding robust features, web development should be easier, not harder.

Just hooked up this 40+ year old Betamax and tuner to capture some home movies. Still works great!

Winter 2.0 for the east next week? 🥲

I've learned to migrate my thinking in my relationship with my wife to be more healthy and as a result I can see the unhealthy conflict more clearly in other places.

When working with a team, if something feels off, it's probably related to this dynamic.
