Working in iterations

I’m redesigning this site bit by bit, which you can read about. This is just a temporary UI. Sorry for any jank!

  • The @ffconf.org lot are good eggs. Their newsletter is good too!

    ffconf.org

    A clip from a newsletter: This week we were drawn to Andy Bell's/Set Studio's Support Piccalilli. The page title doesn't quite do the page justice, the core tennant being: This isn’t the internet we want - this is a value that FFConf also drives towards. Piccalilli aims to contribute towards the better web through their open and public development process, teaching you along the way - that's a great reason to check the resource out but also share it with the newcomers to the industry. What's even more important, to us, is trying to find a way that we (that is, all of us) can contribute something positive towards keeping the web open to everyone. The sad alternative is shrugging and accepting that large corporations control everything, jobs can be swapped for AI agents, and junior jobs are headed for the void. But if all that's a bummer, here's something we found to temporarily cheer us up!

  • Says well known hospital respecters

    Iran strike on hospital is 'criminal' - Israeli minister Israel's deputy foreign affairs minister has called Iran's strike on Soroka Hospital "deliberate" and "criminal". Sharren Haskel, posting on X, says the site that was struck is "not a military base" but "a hospital", adding that this is the main medical centre for Israel’s entire Negev region. She also shares a video that appears to show damage inside the hospital. "The world must speak out," Haskel says.

  • covering my disdain for dark patterns in the next open working article, going out later piccalil.li/projects/cou...

    A dark pattern is probably best thought of as a tactic to manipulate an individual — psychologically — to con them to do what you want them to do on your page, rather than what they likely initially set out to do.

  • We've launched a new page that outlines what we're trying to do with open working projects and importantly, why we're doing it.

    This isn't the internet we want and we're going to do everything to make sure we're making things better, not chasing profit over anything.

  • Catching up on RSS and this makes me sad https://newsletters.feedbinusercontent.com/8dd/8dd3ee0c2fc1e54ba36991a1aac7a1c1b1be5a15.html.

    @codrops.bsky.social have been leading the charge with the collective for years so they deserve rest more than anyone.

  • I think you could sum up the recent media coverage of bluesky with “our boss’ revenue might be at risk if people actually care about stuff and articulate that at a large scale”

    A bit like the backlash to working from home.

  • framework twitter

    A logo that has the caption "Science based bodybuilding just dropped their new branding" It's an overhead view of 5 illustrated dudes (simple). Each of them is holding some sort of rod (?!) and that rod is the person on the left's. Basically, it looks like they're all tugging each other off.
