Therefore, we would like to ask you to share this post in order to reach as many people as possible. Let's aim for 75.000 followers 👍

Just realized, that there is a really good collection of Audiobooks in Spotify! 9 out of the last 10 books I've purchased on Audible are available on Spotify. My Audible subscription is at risk for the first time since 2009!

Is there really no way to disable reposts for a given account here? Some people repost a hundred messages a day and that’s too much…

Using @tailwindcss for the past week (been busy with backend work for a long time) and damn! This is the 1st time since tables-based layouts of the past that I feel confident in my ability to effectively execute on frontend tasks. It is like inline styles, but 100x better. Ugly, but effective! 👌

Have been learning Portuguese for the past 2 months (because why not, #ADHD) and to help me with reading comprehension while at the first stages of learning the language I needed content that would be accessible, but not a picture book for 2yo kids. 🧵

I've seen others share similar things in the past, but a little snippet like this is nice for knowing which breakpoint you're in while doing responsive work. We tuck our's into a staff bar but it could go anywhere and shown only in dev mode.

It’s honestly surprising how often when I get confused about some aspect of Portuguese grammar what makes me finally get it is trying to translate the sentence into Ukrainian. Often the order of words between those two is closer than to from either of them to English for some reason 🤔

With all the recent talks about Hetzner within the indie dev community, I'm surprised nobody mentioned Oracle Cloud giving away 24gb RAM + 4 powerful ARM cores + a bunch of fast storage for free. That's enough to host a powerful modern app for a VERY long time!

On one hand, it is so peaceful here, while on the other hand my brain got so used to the constant flood of negativity on the old site that it feels too quiet or something.
