Have you tried htmx? Maybe HTML wasn't designed to be dynamic, but IMO htmx does a great job extending it to provide interactivity in a way that feels natural and simple.

Hopefully just overwhelmed with the demand. I have to say it's more interesting than most services being down. With AWS, I think 'I'm sure it'll be up soon,' but in this case I'm inclined to wonder things like

As someone who is not an electrical engineer, I found Ben Eater's videos on how semiconductors work and how transistors work interesting and enlightening. How semiconductors work: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=33vbFFF

Setting aside some of the technical choices, I wish we saw more product builders publish transparent perspectives on the 'shortcomings' of their product. SQLite also has a list of reasons why you would or wouldn't want to use

Love this! I hadn't seen it before. A year or two ago I gave my personal website a similar brutalist style, but it's frankly a lot more hacked-together than this because I didn't use some of these clever CSS tricks. Maybe tim

Yes, it parses based on the from email. The short answer is that it doesn't protect against email spoofing. I do have some filtering set up, but it hasn't been effective in my testing. However, you do receive a confirmation email

I like the simplicity of your platform! Thanks for the bug report. I've used python-markdown [0] for the markdown parsing–I'll have to double-check the implementation. [0]: https://python-markdown.github.io/

My thinking was that this would be good for faster/easier posting. E.g.: someone making a travel blog for friends and family who wants to post from their phone on the train to the next city, or someone who wants to quickly share or sav

FYI, I get weird aspect ratio issues on mobile. In portrait mode the image is squished and in landscape it’s stretched to fill.

Based on my own experience at McKinsey and what I heard from coworkers, I think the author’s experience comes from a mixture of the realities of management consulting and the realities of working in the Dubai office. For whatever reason, my

Designing complex HTML emails that look the same across all platforms without bugs is a nightmare. On the one hand, it’s easy to say the solution is to keep things simple with plain text or simpler designs. But that also limits the customer

That’s fair. I ended up sort of skimming through it the first time reading the parts I could connect with and then picked up more of the detail (and the end notes) on later re-readings. For The Pale King, I was able to read it in depth from

Though unfinished, I highly recommend the Pale King. It's not as consistently great as some of DFW's other works, but the highs are as high as anything else he wrote and IMO it's a little more accessible than Infinite Jest. (

I stopped drinking for a month. In that month, there were multiple times when someone offered me a drink, I politely declined saying I’d given it up, and then the other person did not drink either. Hard to say for sure, but it seems clear t

To play EA's advocate: if you assume that donating the kidney will "save" a life, then if you had 4,000 kidneys, you could, on average, sacrifice yourself to "save" 4,000 lives. Of course you don't have 4,000 k

This may be a spoiler somehow, but one of my guesses was ZONAL, which appears to be valid based on what you’ve guessed so far? That could be the 3rd possible word. I don’t know if it’s in the Wordle list or not. EDIT: this isn’t it - I miss
