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!

  • What are folks using instead of Buffer? I like buffer but the UI gets a bit cludgy, which means I don't interact with it much and let Zapier do a lot based on RSS.

    Because of that though, it's not being posting to Piccalilli's mastodon at all because I haven't checked it in so long 😑

  • “If WordPress had a privileged code path that was only accessible to sites deployed to Automattic properties, would it be trusted as a truly open project and would it have the dominance it has today?”

  • I got this feedback for complete-css.com and it demonstrates that you're learning how to build proper production CSS that actually scales.

    There's a strong focus on soft skills (core skills) and they also help you write good CSS, but the important thing is you walk away with strong CSS skills.

    Discord message: I just have some major praise for this course. I sort of approached the course from the back to front, I started experimenting and reading the bloom academy site before I did a bunch of lessons. I started hacking away at the page. I copied the source and made it local and then I just started 🪓 cutting whole sections and yet somehow what was left.. just worked. It was truly a composable solid foundation. It wasnt brittle. I felt better about buying the course.

    I was planning on getting down there, but I'm not gonna be available with the rail replacement situation and timing.

    First come, first served!
