I agree. And I would add 51 to that.

This is actually a pretty decent list. For the password requirements, I would actually always show them as a list of bullet points (length, casing, special character, number, no name…) which would validate on change, from a list of red cros

Great use of Bulma ;-)

In similar fashion you can learn “Web Design in 4 minutes” [1] and “JavaScript in 14 minutes” [2] [1] https://jgthms.com/web-design-in-4-minutes/ [2] https://jgthms.com/javascript-in-14-minutes/

I've used Sketch for years but haven't renewed my license which expired in August. I still like it to create some very quick mockups (less than an hour). But Figma is the go-to UI tool now, especially for teams, but even for a sin

I would second that, although I like how big and bold the options are in the app. I also think the website design needs a bit of work. The typography is a bit all over the place, the "dissolving" clock at the bottom (with stains o

Agreed. So popular back then, but gorgeous and neat. Their flag set was also my go-to choice until I switched to Apple Emoji flags as images.

I enjoy Jekyll, and run about 6 live websites with it. But lately I’ve been using Gatsby/React, first out of curiosity, but now because it’s much quicker for me to develop. Jekyll’s partials are nice to use but can become hard to read

Thanks, that’s it. I’m very annoyed by it because in the English language there is little distinction between the subject, object, and verb versions of a word. So the same sentence can be read in multiple ways. This title casing makes it ev

I noticed that too. A few weeks ago, clicking on a Zoom link in your browser would trigger an automatic download of the app installer (which I don’t want). The webpage would still display an “or launch in the browser” link. But yesterday I

Nitpick: I’m annoyed at sentences that capitalises every word just to make them look more important than they are. I was wondering what Apple Books (the app) was doing, and what the verb in the sentence was. Is there a name for this capital

I’d be nice to see a picture of an original deck, especially from Brian Eno. Also, I believe the list of messages has changed over the years so it’s be interesting to see which list you have.

Slightly off topic: Phoenix used these strategies for their Grammy-winning album “Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix”. Also, MGMT mentions “ The wisdom of oblique stratagems“ (a play on word) in their aptly-named song “Brian Eno”. For a long time I’v

I've been using BetterSnapTool for years: https://apps.apple.com/gb/app/bettersnaptool/id417375580 It's super cheap, and on top of the regular shortcuts, you can create custom shortcuts with their o

Surprised to see my project at the top, considering how old it is. Also surprised by the very low number of favorites overall; I use that feature quite often.

Well I grew my audience on Twitter by building open source projects. [1] I didn't really plan or aim for anything. It mostly happened. As for technologies, I just wrote the book in markdown using Sublime Text. Then I used a markdown-to

I've been earning a bit on a regular basis since I published it 1 year and a half ago. Not enough for replacing a salary, but enough as side pocket money. I'm lucky to have a decent following, so I didn't have to market it a

The key is to use rem for font-size and em or unitless for all other properties: padding, border-width, margin, line-height. That way the size of the element is independent of the context.

I’ve written a small CSS ebook if that interests you. [1] It teaches you how to build a webpage from scratch. I’m currently writing my second one, which will be more theoretical and cover things like this blog post actually. I’d be interest

Yes, ST works like VSCode in that regard. It works well with paragraphs and headings because they fit on one line (so 1 line = 1 block), but I'd like to be able to move whole multiline blocks, like lists, code blocks, and paragraphs th

One feature I have yet to find in any Markdown editor is a simple "block" mover, which I describe here: https://twitter.com/jgthms/status/1225513837379641350 Underneath, the data structure would remain s

I don’t think it’s fair to believe I’m just saying “Be disciplined” when I explain how to manage your time. I do watch Netflix too. But it’s time boxed during the day, the same way working on projects is. And in a day, I don’t work more tha

If you need to go to a café and create a new user for each new side project, you’re not gonna work a lot. I understand needing separate contexts for separate projects but this seems like overkill. The context is in your mind, not your envi

I just want to say how clear and concise this documentation is. Having examples alongside their code snippets is all you need to understand the library.

The first half of your comment could have been sarcasm. But the second part, with the exclamation point, definitely sold it. Sarcasm is definitely not impossible to detect in writing. You just to have to trust people and give them the ben

There is a setting or an extension I use to mute all sites by default. You can then whitelist domains one by one. It’s a lifesaver.

Of course you can do quite a bit with JS. Some of the projects I’ve made You can swap CSS classes in JS. But how do you know which classes are available? You can target HTML elements in JS. But how do you know which elements are available?

This triggers the question: why is the app not available worldwide in the first place? And why should every country develop their own? Since Apple and Google are already providing an "Exposure Notification system", shouldn't

Thanks. I enabled that flag last week and thought it didn't work. I didn't know there was a second step. Much better now.
