Notes from May
Lots of writing this month:
- Why you should use Rails
- A reminder that things take time
- How shadcn/ui's previews work
- Why I hate that 1.01% meme
- A lovely term, 'grace note'
- Au revoir, invoke!
- A quick check-in on 11ty
- A rant/snippet for auth.js
- The first edition of what will be a long, living document on ActivityPub
- A handy git one-liner
- Why it's always harder than you think
- A note on the price of beer
And some media notes (it was a rare month where I basically only had positive things to say!):
In other, more-exciting, non-writing news:
- My wife and I are expecting! The next four months are going to be a bit of a foot-on-the-gas-goblin-mode-slash-monk-mode extravaganza as I work to get Buttondown in as great of a place as it can be before I take an extended paternity leave.
- I released my first new project in a while, under the auspecies of Buttondown — shovel.report, a sort of "
digon steroids" tool that's been really helpful with onboarding new customers. - Buttondown's new summer intern Turki has been absolutely crushing it shipping a lot of great improvements to the Tiptap editor, including our first (of likely many) Tiptap extension.
