The new Web App support in iOS 26 is so good. I love being able to use the web version of @bsky.app on my iPad.

I just added @pkgstats.com to my iPhone and it’s feeling pretty good. So handy when I am looking to see if a package exists for ideas I have, or keep tabs on my packages.

It looks like maybe SEO is finally kicking in for the Chrome Web Store listing for the @opengraphs.com extension. Seems like it kicked up on the 29th, and dropped a bit, but is level over the past couple of days. Also, big in Poland!!

I have an idea brewing for something for 2026. I also love when I can prompt enough to start generating the bad (good) stuff in AI images.

Did a little vibe coding last night on this #webgl shader for the upcoming @opengraphs.com updates going out this weekend. #buildinpublic

I think I am feeling this extended "o" version more. Better?

Working on the @opengraphs.com site and was looking for assets to add in some sections, and realized the oEmbed spec doesn't appear to have an icon or logo for it, so I figured I would make one.

But, not sure if this logo works better for a tech spec or a condom brand. Thoughts?

Really hoping I hear back from @cloudflare.social soon for the Pay Per Crawl beta. These bots make it so I have to babysit the servers to keep @starterpacks.net up.

The spacing and alignment going on in this modal is blowing my mind 🤯

Nothing like 381k requests hitting your site at once. Maybe a blip with the Google crawler? Hopefully that means I’ll be seeing more pages indexed on @starterpacks.net and see organic traffic go back up🤞

Also, the fact there were only 78 errors during that time is pretty solid.

Welcome to the club! I was an involuntary inductee after my buddy made this and gifted it to me.

Now I am a proud member of the, People With A Huge Headphone Amp On Their Desk Club.

Throwback to when the surf trip stoke got stomped before it ever started.

I just pushed a quick update to @starterpacks.net. Verified Status is now reflected on profiles, along with who they were verified by.

And, if you connect your @bsky.app account, you can also explore Starter Packs that people are in.

Check it out! www.starterpacks.net

For real, ours was more the open-faced model, without a single ounce of solid wood on the thing.

Just pushed out some updates to @starterpacks.net, and it is just the start of some big changes to make it more than just a directory of Starter Packs.

You can now log in and follow/unfollow people directly on the site! And, more changes coming soon...

After talking with @mubashariqbal.com and @briancasel.com about what my plans are for @starterpacks.net, I’m following through on my initial idea and getting this next release up that will include some paid features.

Anyone have a kitchen sink I could borrow to put in this footer!?

Yeah, not sure what happened to @starterpacks.net, but traffic has fallen off a cliff the last couple of days. Hoping to reboot that traffic as I get some more features rolled out.

Finally got this a few weeks ago. Amazing the amount of design effort expended on just the branding/vive of the game.
