13 notes. Back to the latest.
-
Are there any decent design inspiration accounts on Mastodon?
-
Spent the last few days building a basic RSS reader app. It stores a database of feeds and runs a Cron job every day to parse them and save new items to the database.
The code is almost entirely written, refactored and debugged by ChatGPT.
I’m sure there are a thousand issues with it, and I’ll want a real developer to give it a once-over before putting it into the wild, but there’s no way I’d have gotten this far on my own without hitting a hundred brick walls I had no idea how to climb.
I find myself using ChatGPT like a step ladder: it increases your reach.
-
Any recommendations for new mobile games that are worth checking out (and aren’t “free to play” slot machines)?
Feels like literally years since the App Store was a good place to discover new games.
-
Judging by my emails from the past few weeks, Wayfair really overstocked on air fryers this year
-
As someone who thinks by talking, I’m finding ChatGPT’s Voice Mode to be weirdly useful as a way to bounce ideas around.
The Custom Instructions option has made “conversations” far less frustrating.
It makes sense that a Digital Assistant should adapt their communication style to your personality/culture, rather than having an overly-generic “polite & professional” tone of voice.

Chris Heaton-Harris’s hairline doesn’t give me confidence that he’s a man who accepts harsh realities.

Finding myself using 0.1s for CSS hover transitions… I’ve always used 0.2s but 0.1s feels snappier while still softer than no transition.
Which is odd because I’ve always understood that anything under 100ms was imperceptible… but there’s definitely a perceivable difference between a 100ms transition and no transition… I wonder if higher screen frame rates have anything to do with it?
-
Yes, well, that’s not an apostrophe
-
Who remembers that time Blackberry made Alicia Keys their “Global Creative Director”?
-
TIL: Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer doesn’t enter public domain until 2034, and his “design” is trademarked
-
Excited by support for the "cap" CSS unit rolling out in Safari webkit.org/blog/14787/webkit-features-in-safari-17-2
-
GTA Vice City came out in 2002, and was set in 1986.
If GTA VI did the same “retro” theme it would be set in… 2009.
I think I need to lie down.

Patiently waiting for Ed Sheeran & Taylor Swift's charity cover of “Fairytale of New York”
