"And I really like the serendipity of people discovering my bots, and learning that something I made maybe a few weeks, months, or even years ago is suddenly getting attention of people."
A love letter to making things for people.

Over the years, I've had to make a concerted effort to bookmark less things. I've made small progress at that here and there. I admittedly still bookmark too much-- but it's better now, there's better organization. But today I couldn't find a link I bookmarked, and it pissed me off, so I spent a couple hours doing a nuclear-grade cleanout and organization of my Firefox bookmarks (Mastodon ones are up next, eventually).
All of this was also with a goal to gather all the #SmallWeb and #IndieWeb stuff together that I want to write about. And I did make some major progress on that front.
But one weird thing I noticed before, and what made the nuclear-grade cleanup of bookmarks today initially so overwhelming and now, so necessary, was this weird shit that Firefox does.
When I've had to import bookmarks or do profile changes and switches, things get doubled, tripled, quadrupled-- and also between Favorites, the Menu ones, the Toolbar ones, and there's not a lot that can be done about that, at least that I've found. And in my opinion, it's all just a bunch of bs, and a bad system, and something that's only customizable up to a point.
So I deleted a lot, consolidated a lot, but all of that took MASSIVE time today-- I just think it's weird that all that stuff isn't just SLIGHTLY more customizable.

I have updated my site by moving blog search and new category list pages (now with sparklines) out of the Lab and into production - https://www.vanderwal.net/random/entrysel.php?blog=2145
I have been wanting both for a long time (sparklines on category list pages for more than 15 years).
Tailwind is great.
Tailwind sucks.
After 3 years of shipping it in production, I'm convinced both sides are equally right, and mostly talking past each other.
It's neither good nor bad, it's a trade:
Noisy markup in exchange for speed and consistency.
I wrote down the full breakdown: pros, cons, and how to tell when to reach for it (and when to run).

A Love Letter To Creative Spaces https://britthub.co.uk/a-love-letter-to-creative-spaces/
This post was inspired by Juhis’ IndieWeb Carnival theme for May, A love letter. This is a love letter to creative spaces, community centres, libraries and anywhere that is welcoming to the big table full of slightly chaotic artists who might make a mess of their carpet from time to time. When I was a […]
