Points to this, which does look like the first mention. https://github.com/scttcper/tinycolor/issues/256 …

Somehow I didn't realize GitHub purchased npm in 2020. GitHub is the second word on npmjs.org. How did I not notice?

Don’t most of these tools create them for you? Just run “/init” and the AI makes the initial agents.md file. Dunno how helpful that is, but they shouldn’t have to write it from scratch.

Most of the solutions I've seen, even ones that say they have privacy, store things that can be used to fingerprint a user. I wanted my solution to be extreme in that it would not store anything …

How much machine do you have to be able to run Qwen-235B locally?

I’d love to see NeatCSS on your list. It’s not officially classless but I try to make it semantic as much as possible. I bookmarked you GitHub repo (which you should link on the page if I didn’t miss …

Whoa, that’s mine. Thanks for the mention. :) I use it for almost everything. I just made a note to try it with the demo and to steal some ideas from pico (while keeping the size of neat tiny).

Would love to see some examples

These days you can email a searchable PDF of your notebooks. I would guess you can extract these with simple tools, though I keep mine as PDF.

I also got enthusiastic about them, but I ended up embracing the Kindle Scribe. I just completed my 12th monthly notebook, so I’ve been at it for over a year now. I was using regular notebooks but I w…

It’s also technically illegal, in many jurisdictions, for something to be “on sale” permanently. Though lots of retailers get away with it.

I have a bit of an internal struggle here. I use a site generator too but I struggle with the question, should I? I recently wrote about why I’m writing pure html and CSS in 2025. https://j…

TIL. I agree with the other comments that say it's not discoverable. I've been using MacOS for 10 years and I didn't even know that "Force Click" is a thing. This comment caus…

I think Next.js has its place in enterprise software. For the rest of us I think it's time to simplify. I like to do that to the point of absurdity. Why I'm writing pure HTML and CSS in 2025…

I find LLMs extremely useful but I think the difference is that they regurgitate the content (not verbatim) instead of a link to it. This is not unlike how a human might tell their friend about it.
comment
I suspect this is the case for the majority of open source software. I have a handful of tiny projects. I don't think anyone will keep them alive after I die. But I guess we should make a distinc…

A long press of - should give it as an option as well. Mine auto translates it but I can’t recall if I added it or not.
comment
It's also allowed. This is my first exposure to it, despite being a regular. Looks like a cool app.
comment
I kinda wonder if this is an age thing as the English language morphs over time. I'm a bit old school, I like the XDG standard, but the arguments against "~/Library/Application Sup…

I doubt it. I’m a perfectly capable communicator and I also prefer them.
comment
Modified title to remove owners name (felt like linkbait) and to shorten it.

That’s a weird hack today. Most phones seem to have a setting for it now. I have it on on my iPhone, it’s not “focus”, but I can’t recall how I turned it on. Only my favorites ring. Also, my phone is …

How do you (or do you plan to) use SMS as a todo list? I can't even remember to reply to someone who texted me when I as busy.

I geeked out a bit, after reading another blog post, and used my thermal printer for this. I've been using it for a few weeks now. The little sticky notes it makes are great. https://j…
