I like web app development, UX, and computing in general.
Got a gift from Doctors Without Borders / Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF), they're giving out a nice cap for donors from APAC region: doctorswithoutborders-apac.org/en/donate

It's impossible to read the white text on white background though.

So the card markup is still `twitter:card`, I guess no X-Card (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X-Card) just yet?

I'm not sure if Kiro would be a "Cursor killer" but the animation on the website sure is cuter. 👻

Love this subtle animation from this demo (youtu.be/4SErIMflSLQ?...) of Material 3 Expressive. It's better implemented than the current one on iOS 18.5 because the motion signals a greater sense of friction on a destructive operation. Still prefer the stacked apps design on iOS though.

Also, allowing people to indicate the language of each toot is much better than unreliable language detections for tweets.

So, @LHDNMofficial uses @Phoenixcoded's Able pro theme with some customisations, but I'm not sure what to feel about using @_dte's animate.css this way:

3. Substack doesn't support having a canonical link for your post. Also, adding alt text is done through a really small text input.

2. http://Dev.to has no option to edit alt text for cover images. When rendered, the alt text will always appear as "Cover image for ."

I've been publishing weekly posts for the past month on @Medium, @ThePracticalDev, and @SubstackInc, here are some of the quirks I found out about these platform.

1. Medium doesn't allow nested lists, so having multilevel lists in your content is not an option.

And that concludes my Tweet-length takeaways from the book, it was a fun read, surprised to find I've been doing some of those but they're probably popular advices found at many other places, still gonna steal the remaining ones. 🧑‍🎨

I just borrowed Steal Like an Artist by @austinkleon from @PNM_Rasmi via @LibbyApp and want to see if I can finish it before it's due in 7 days. I'll try summarise my takeaways here. #LearnInPublic

The new iPhone camera interface reminds me of some camera apps that have no obvious indication of whether or not the picture behind the semi-opaque overlay will be part of the final photo or video. The zoom control with the same overlay doesn't help either.

What's better example of real-time analytics than monitoring tweets mentioning Bieber and Miley? #AWSSummitMY

420? Nah, I'll just do 16.04, it's LTS.

Dear Twitter, 1) It's Malay not Indonesian. 2) I don't need translation for my own Tweet. https://t.co/r7x3gD8O8R
