I was recently building a version of the switcher from every-layout.dev/layouts/ and wanted the content to switch from "space between" to "center" when the wrap happens. I was able to kind of make the effect work without any breakpoints or wrap detection, but it's not 100% perfect at all widths

Yay! Congrats

I've got ~8 years of experience ranging from internal apps, dev tools, CMS/e-commerce sites, and accessibility audits. I'm a framework + language generalist too.

I know a few other oregon-based devs with front end/back end experience looking for work too.

For sure! I'll definitely reach out if I have success (or not!). Good luck on your interviews!

Thank you! I had similar experiences only getting referrals the last layoff but most of the places I know people aren't hiring at the moment.

I've been skeptical of the cold-messaging strangers strategy because I haven't known anyone who had tried it directly. But it's good to know it can work!

Congrats!

Could I ask what your job search strategy is? I feel like you've had more interviews scheduled than most people I've seen and I'd love to adjust my strategy a bit since I've had very little luck over the past month.

Thanks! Doesn't look like y'all can hire in Washington (State) or Oregon, so I'm probably not eligible. I may know some people I can pass this along to.

I can't DM you here, but would love to chat about the role.

(My kids are < 7)
They like:
- outfoxed
- animal upon animal
- candyland
- Rhino Hero
- Wild Kratts
- Orchard game (we have the "my first" version)

Our kids love board games.

Cooperative board games are also a great intro, because then everyone wins or loses together vs one person winning over everyone else.

Modeling good winning + losing behavior helps too. Some of the emotions around losing are socialized.

If you're using it as an SMS app to text people not in signal, very likely. We replaced our text convos + video calls with signal chats.

I'd start with moving people from telegram/what's app/Facebook messenger chats to signal. Or maybe if you have a group text with both iPhone & Android users.

It's also a non-profit so there's no incentive for them to share your data to 3rd parties.

There are layers to the privacy though. If you choose fisappearing messages, when the chat is gone, it's gone. Choosing an anonymous username makes it harder for someone to connect the chat to you

Disclaimer: in tech, but not a security expert by any means.

So it's private in that only the devices in the chats have access to the messages due to the encryption. Unlike other apps, every chat is encrypted. It's part of why journalists and others recommend it for talking off the record.

We moved our household group chat to signal from another messaging app.

On some level it is "just" a messaging app. On the other hand, most of the comparable messaging apps are ethically dubious and don't have the same privacy commitments.

Happy to answer any specific q's if that would be helpful
