On Firefox mobile the page spawns about 10 print options dialogs. Works perfectly on Safari mobile. Nice work!

It looks like everyone is building their own thing... So am I: https://trackr.sh I have a couple of thousand bookmarks, which as some might say is a ridiculous amount. Except they aren't really bookmarks in the strict sense

I have the same experience. A healthy portion of my time (25% is my estimate) comes from Perl freelance work. The amount of 'legacy' systems that run Perl and need maintenance is staggering. If it weren't for the current Pyth

It certainly wasn’t my intention to hijack this post. I wanted to ask a genuine question. Personally I don’t think referring to a competing product is bad when asking for a comparison of features. Sorry if my comment came across as self pr

Congratulations on launching Zapmarks! I’m a big fan of bookmaking services. Having better ways of managing your saved information is important to me. I run https://trackr.sh that serves a similar goal. Why did you pick a single

I'm really pleased to see Django is still going strong. I started using it since version 0.96 and have been in love ever since. I'm currently supporting two major business applications built on Django (custom ERP/CRM software

One thing I want to get right is reliable archiving of bookmarks [0], a modern minimalistic UX with first class mobile support and we include an RSS reader that integrates seamlessly into the bookmarking functionality. I'm still workin

True, without tooling most platforms/languages would suck to work with. But I believe that the more tooling a stack needs, the more wobbly the stack gets. The more wobble the more error prone and less fun to work with.

I'm not sure if I like where this whole WebAssemby thing is going. On one hand I'm thrilled to the prospect of Python in the browser, on the other this seems like a huge layered mess just waiting to trouble those poor devs. I actu

This is a habit that I also picked up over the past couple of years. It has lead to me clicking away a lot of websites, but I'm still equally happy. Clicking away happens even more so if the site I'm trying to view is "user

The article on Letters of Last Resort made me think how absurd democracy can be at times. It looks like PM May wrote her Letters of Last Resort, and then Johnson did the same. But from the looks of it, new Letters of Last Resort could be wr

Thanks for signing up! Why build it? Because I think we can do a better job and provide a different experience (hopefully better) than competing services. Just because similar services exist is no reason not to build something. Otherwise t

The goal of trackr.sh is to allow you to bookmark interesting information, allow you to quickly find that information at a later time, and just stay out of your face in all other cases. We feature archiving so you never loose that interesti

These are great write ups! Just a shame they are in the format of a twitter “conversation”. The readability really sucks and don’t let me get started on the UX :/

I'm also a fan of the 'email me your comments' approach. The extra effort required acts as an extra filter that is often welcome.

I agree that getting things like comments and search running on a static site is a lot work. But I’m of the opinion your personal site doesn’t need those things. Rarely have I seen interesting discussion happen in the comments of a personal

This is great, it really proves that you don't need a lot of styling and interactivity to get a message across. I'm sounding like my grandpa, but... back in my day, things were fast, simple and they worked Now we got this huge m

Seems logical to me: the bank essentially gave you a loan and then said, well you don’t need to pay us back. So they really gave you a certain amount of money. Isn’t that what they call income?
