actually making some things now that will be usable outside my micro niche for once

While fixing a random 503 error, I randomly discovered the pricing and signup options were not showing on mobile... since I migrated the site to Astro some time last year... whoops. Even had left myself a todo to check all mobile pages. 😬

The kind of tech the left is excited about

first bread of the new year, a soft white honey apple

Happy New Year to those that celebrate it

Tailwind appears to have had a rewrite and now integrates much better with actual CSS. I'm honestly quite impressed. thathtml.blog/2025/08/tail...

It’s so frustrating that there is this illusion that we are all 49%/49% right now. Us versus them, good versus bad, and it’s all because of the BS that is the electoral system. It’s very likely 70% versus 30% and we’re just not seeing representative government.There’s just no common sense right now

"You can't make time go faster or success come sooner. The only thing you can control is the next action." - James Clear Good reminder. 👍

Just vibe-coded this Chrome extension with Cursor. No more typing test cards into forms manually like a dummy! Really fun experience.

Turn off the podcasts and music, stop scrolling and put down the phone. Take a walk, draw a bath, or sit still in a comfy chair. Good ideas come when you let your mind wander.

Glad I switched away from them a few years ago, this would be an absolute nightmare to deal with EOY

You know that thing that happens in the summer where someone starts mowing their lawn and then, suddenly there are a dozen people outside mowing their lawns? I love that the same thing happens in the winter in Wisconsin with snow blowers. Midwestern siren call

First attempt at from scratch simple non-dairy biscuits. Turned out great and pretty easy/quick to make. Subbed Melt stick for butter and Daiya cashew milk.

you owe it to yourself to look at these Comedy Wildlife award-winning photographs

I had a monthly recurring charge that I left going for YEARS as I couldn’t figure out if anything was still using it

Which feeds do you subscribe to and how are they ordered? Here are mine:

I just want an AI that is smart enough to know whether I meant to type on or in and stop autocorrecting to the wrong one

Some first stats back from a new abandoned cart feature I tested with a single customer last month: 22 orders recovered $1363 gross 70% of recovered orders occurred within 2 hours of notification Should I charge extra for this feature? Currently, it will be included on mid to higher plans.

Dec 2 in my little Wisconsin town and *finally* got snow that’s sticking for more than 12 hours. Still only like 1/2 inch though.

Updated the MicroConf Starter Pack with 40+ more folks. Did I miss you or someone you know? go.bsky.app/N5QjxG

Most of my feeds are broken rn. Time to put down the phone and take a scrolling break I guess

FWIW you’re more likely to get a follow back if your profile has a real photo and bio

It's time y'all go.bsky.app/EWR2hu1 raise your hand in the comments to be added

I aspire to earn a place in your Quiet Posters feed

Getting sick while traveling is the worst.

Some good ideas here. My dream has always been to have enough money to put things out in the world that I want to exist, without the need for them to be profitable. Someday. 😅

Really good hack to battle test the things you build: Publish a video to show it off. Bugs. UX. Slowness. Bloat. It all gets exposed when the camera's rolling. Once you can record in 1 take, you're ready to ship.

Whoever succeeds at making an AI that knows the difference between what’s real and made up wins Tough problem though, even humans struggle with this

Anyone looking for a fractional CTO / startup coach? A guy I know and trust has got a few more slots to fill. DM me for contact info. Reposts for reach appreciated. 🙏🏻

hmm

Have a few ideas for new labelers. Are there any how-to guides or OS repos for these yet, beyond the official doc? docs.bsky.app/docs/advance...

If you're an indie hacker and wondering whom to follow... Here are two starter packs featuring 210+ Indie Hackers: Part 1 - go.bsky.app/7PVRQFX Part 2 - go.bsky.app/GHWuWr6 Let me know if you want to be added 👇 P.S. Guys, please, repost this 🙌

TIL that the contact form on my marketing site has been classifying all entries as SPAM for who knows how long 🤦 Also finding that Make has max history of 30 days and no bulk export. Oof.

People with $000+/mo SaaS plans, do you give Black Friday discounts?

Starter packs need a “automatically follow new additions” toggle at the top

when you have too many todos, switch to a new todo tracker

hmm, I had 70+ people in a starter pack and now there are around 20. Are people removing themselves or am I breaking it somehow when I add new people?

There’s something a little zen about driving on a gray, rainy day

Curating a new starter pack to find fellow MicroConf folks. If you've been a part of MicroConf, past or present, and want to be added give me a shout. Already added everyone that listed a public bluesky link in the Connect Slack. go.bsky.app/N5QjxG

Always, always talk to your customers. My VA has been manually preparing a detailed, personalized monthly report for mid-tier+ customers. In prep for starting to automate parts of it, sent a survey out to see what to focus on... Turns out, very few even care about the report at all 😅

Outside tasks completed today: - rotated the compost bins - spread leaf mulch on root base of our young trees - fenced around a small tree the rabbits won’t stop eating - cleaned out the garage - put reflective poles in at sidewalk edges - tested the snowblower - misc yard cleanup Good day.

What’s your low stakes controversial opinion? Here’s mine: Fitted sheets are easier/faster to fold than flat sheets

Post a picture you took (no description, but with alt text) to bring some zen to the timeline

Please, if you are able, support Independent bookshops. They are the literary & social hubs of our high streets and communities. Without their continued support, we simply wouldn't be around to publish . Thank you.

Time to start a new project

This site feels like twitter when twitter was fun and weird and cool.

I got to inbox zero on biz and personal email accounts for the first time in many years and it’s kinda weirding me out

updated my handle to the custom domain option, super easy & quick but of course now i've got to update the profile site it directs to, that's been abandoned for 3+ years 😅

Thanks to these links and a few others, I just followed 700+ people of similar interests 🤯
