I think it's neat. There's lots of negative feedback on here, which I would encourage you not to get down about. As always on the net, folks are probably far more likely to leave a message if they have some objection or disagree w

Let's Blue and Pink all the things! These are great photos. But I confess I'm growing tired of this neon miami vice-ification.

Playing with the idea of a static site generator for the masses, instead of the multitudes of CLI solutions out there. Something to point at a folder of maybe 5 markdown files, and generate a site for personal or small business use. (not a

I made just such a template for myself recently. Sort of Medium-ish, single column; option for full width/bleed image: https://birddive.com/blog.2020-11-8.repurposable-templates.h...

I sometimes use "inurl:wordpress" when searching for travel info. This ensures more first-person blog accounts, rather than all the tripadvisor junk that's at the top.

This is super cool. I was always a fan of Expose ( https://github.com/Jack000/Expose ) because of accessibility to beginners like me, and few dependencies. Pandoc is similar, but powerful, and I like that this leans on t

Super cool, really fun! Same github account has a neat missile visualization as well: https://nagix.github.io/nk-missile-tests/

Yeah. I live in Tokyo and so my kid needs some English inputs. This is one effort to try to put that together.

Same here. I've started a small thing here: https://fugu.tv (piggy backing off this neat little repo https://github.com/iRaul/podcasts-repo )

It's tough. I've been thinking about this a lot over the years, especially with respect to youtube content -- which is really hit-and-miss to say the least. I'm trying to curate channels I think are ok on www.fugu.tv, and wel

Good to see you ship to Canada too. I'm in Japan where Mixi has a service called [Nohana]( https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19966877 ) that's similar (but an app), but looking forward to checking yours out, mayb

You might try a "free shipping" coupon code (instead of 10% off), as it helps a customer overcome some of the anxiety of ordering a box of something all the way "from Japan".

Agree entirely that SSGs are completely for developers. I recently wrote on a similar theme, hypothesising a static site generator for "the rest of us": https://1rick.com/static-sites.html I really wish something

Take a picture of a traffic light, color-picker out the green and print it solid on a large sheet. Ask Japanese friends what color it is, they'll all say green. (Disclaimer: I once did this. Also, I might need some hobbies)

It mostly came down to math, and that 48 pages is typically the max number of pages for a saddle-stitch book. I explained a little bit more about the design process here if you're curious to know more: https://1rick.com&#x2F

I use paper too, and have designed a small notebook around this idea of longer term goals with "crumb-size" daily actions: https://twentyweeks.com (shameless plug for my side project)

I made a little pocketbook thingy based on a weekly "sprint" with a max of six tasks per day, to progress towards weekly goals: https://vimeo.com/252014662 I find keeping to-do items separate from my phone distrac

I started out trying to figure out what a weekly sprint kanban board might look like if it were a pocket notebook. Ended up somewhere a little different ( https://1rick.github.io/bluebird/ ), but it suits me ok for my ow

Storify was pretty useful as a curation tool, and I remember using it to sort through the information/disinformation around the Japan quake ( https://storify.com/boheekim/collaborating-to-storify-japan ) back in 201

Definitely get some help if possible. But in terms of better planning, here's what worked for me: 1. Set a goal or two for your week on Monday. 2. Then each morning over coffee each day, list out a few tasks (max of six, but even two

This is also super useful for learning a second language. I once met a dude in China without much of a noticable accent. I asked him if he had lived abroad, to which he replied that he had never been outside the country. He just regular tal
