If you want to build an editor as much compatible with the web as possible, then CodeMirror is the way to go.
A playground where some vue components can be defined. It is useful for quick tests and sharing them :)
reddit goes dark in oder to protest against the new rules.
The admins of each subreddit make them private, so the users can not use them anymore.

I was once used to bullet journal, then I overthought about it and don't use it anymore.
I stick to a TODO list, but then I don't get this nice history and notes and so on. Maybe I will start a bullet journal over with these 5 symbols:
* for new task
x for a completed task
for a carried forward task
strikethrough is a cancelled task
- represents a noteNo self-help-productivity-bullshit-post is complete without a list of tips, so here it is:
- Make it your own. Don’t attempt to shoehorn someone else’s solution.
- Don’t try to manage everything—that hardly ever works.
- Don’t over optimize. Task states don’t need 20 different symbols. Keep it simple.
- It doesn’t have to be an art project2. I know mine isn’t. Keep it functional.
An introduction to publish on gopher. I should try it.
Ode for free software workers that leverage these awesome tools :D
Old blogs disappears :/ That's why it is also hard to find the content of the 90s.
Proposal:
It is imperative for online writing (especially blogs) to have a long lifespan. We can currently read books from the 18th century with ease. It should be the same for online content from 30 years ago.
That's true: that threat doesn’t hold true for personal blogging.
Because we follow a person. That's all
Over the years, I've come to understand that consistency in writing is not only essential for improving my craft, but also for cultivating the strange and capricious creature known as inspiration.
It follows the slow pace of the software. The one's that evolves slowly are here to stay.
Following the same ideas: "my product is my garden" https://herman.bearblog.dev/my-product-is-my-garden/
I agree about roundabouts (=traffic circles) :)
It should be worth noting that I've been hyping myself up to make a public blog for about 4 years now. Unfortunately I have a habit letting my perfectionism get the best of me, and allowing myself to procrastinate things indefinitely. I realized I needed to just bite the bullet and get this thing started.
It took me 2 years and now I am writing once per year ... I have to write again because it's so damn cool. Oh wait, there is also shaarli :)
The thought of countless office workers slaving over spreadsheets and performing mindless work makes me sad. These machines that I love were supposed to free us from menial labor. Instead, there are people out there copying something from one spreadsheet and pasting it into another, over and over, ad nauseum. It's because the tools are incomplete, a consequence of trying to tie every conceivable operation to a button on the screen.
For this case, awk and sed can automate all of this :)
It started by putting up optional sign up forms with a cleverly hidden opt-out link. Over time, sign up became mandatory. Now I can only share files with other Dropbox users. That's not what i signed up for. I understand that Dropbox needs to make money. Today, they do that by showing investors that they are growing. One key measure of growth is the number of user accounts they have. So, it makes sense to make every effort to get people to sign up. But, in this case, they are not gaining users through the value of their service – they are using the value of my relationships and my data to force people to sign up. Not cool, guys.
And they provide a solution :) There is also a lot of open source software that can be used.
The webring of xxiivv
another group in Minnesota :)
They published their manifesto in order to understand what they stand for.
It is indeed minimal :) Kind of cool
