Built with CUBE CSS, Every Layout and stuff learned in Complete CSS. It’s of course, lightning fast and the UI works with the browser.
I love to see it.

Just released Rosetta v1.0.0, an #i18n shard for #CrystalLang, about four years after its inception. Aside from a some QoL improvements it now also supports key nesting, a feature that was on the wishlist for a very long time.

Worrying to see that so much of our internet, including critical infrastructure, is dependent on AWS. I get that cloud services are easier to maintain for global projects, but this level of concentration risk isn't healthy.
PSA: we're aware that Signal is down for some people. This appears to be related to a major AWS outage. Stand by.

If DDOS attacks are illegal, AI crawler spamming should be too. They’re wearing down the most useful parts of the web in their quest to produce the least useful.
Yeah, we only had 1 week of break between AI crawler attacks. This one is even hungrier than the last one.

I've got a 19-year history with Ruby on Rails but in less than two weeks my view on the framework has completely changed. Working with it just feels icky right now. A great time to embrace newer, more inclusive alternatives like @hanamirb.org and @luckyframework.org. I'm already enjoying the change.

A great write-up about the current dramas unfolding in the #Ruby community. Something needs to change and I believe that if we align and coordinate ourselves, we can make it happen. DHH has been too dominant for too long now.
Ages ago, when I was still a student, I taught myself Ruby on Rails for my senior thesis and fell in love. Fifteen years later, and I’ve used Rails at every job I’ve ever held in the tech industry. Fifteen years, and I still love Rails! But there’s something rotten at its core, and we share a name.

I'm about 1/3 through the book right now and very much looking forward to this course. I think it'll be the perfect companion course for practical accessibility.
With Mindful Design, you’re not only going to really learn how the brain works and how to design an equitable, genuinely helpful experience for users.
You’re also going to learn how to apply that by learning practical, transferable design skills that will elevate your work beyond recognition.

Over the past few days I've been moving projects from #GitHub to #Codeberg and it's a surprisingly smooth transition. I expected to make a lot of concessions but almost everything I need is there. Including a free CI for open-source projects, pretty crazy.
I've signed up to GitHub on 21 July 2009, a bit more than 16 years ago. I think it's time to start moving out, beginning with my personal projects. Honestly, I was expecting something like this to happen. I'm surprised it took this long.

For a few months I have been working on a new web app. I've had the idea for years now, but it's such a massive undertaking that I never found the courage to actually go for it, until this year. Now I'm designing the first landing page. These #paper #cutouts give a good idea of what the app is about
