“Introducing fuite: a tool for finding memory leaks in web apps - Read the Tea Leaves”
One thing I just don’t get about the revisionist history of the web that’s so en vogue at the moment:
Do they just expect all of us middle-aged web users to pretend that forums weren’t huge years before Web 2.0?
I mean, why make up something so trivially and obviously untrue?
“Tailwind and the Femininity of CSS”
“The important bit is that they hinder deep learning of CSS”
“Thoughts on skin tone and text descriptions - Tink - Léonie Watson”
Yesterday I wrote about how I’ve been using index cards to figure out what to design next when building my note-taking app. “Working Spaces: Using Cards to Make Cards”
I just published “Working Spaces: Using Cards to Make Cards” as a part of The Making of Colophon Cards
When discussing funding, sustainability, and relationships with corporate sponsors, the distinction between Free Software and Open Source becomes very relevant. Lumping them together in these discussions is counter-productive. (Which is something I’ve done myself, mea culpa)

Now that excessive SPAness is heading towards being somewhat disreputable, it feels a bit like CRDT is on the verge of becoming the next big buzzword. Expect managers to start bandying about “CRDT-based UIs” willy nilly any day now.
“Avoiding Internet Centralization”
By the ever-thoughtful Mark Nottingham.
“Bruce Lawson’s personal site : Component libraries, accessibility and transparency”
So, is Google Sheets the most absolutely horrible UX that Google makes (mystery meat buttons, shifting UI around you, widgets that fade in and out semi-randomly) or does that honour belong to one of the Google Cloud admin screens?
One thing I wonder about is why people who obsess about note-taking and research apps seem to care so little about output? Namely, if you’re going to pick a methodology wouldn’t you begin by investigating the quality of the work of the inventors?
