The idea started with the following tweet.
Something like early Instagram, but built upon ethical design choices with the goal of #timewellspent. Chronological timelines, privacy, maybe custom domain support. Paid by users, not advertisers.
I think the time has come.
Anybody interested working on such a thing?

Right now this is just me, thinking loudly. If you’re feeling the same itches you’re more than welcome to join scratching. Continue reading
There’s no nice way to say it: with the release of version 7 of the Web Clipper Evernote demonstrated that they seem either to not use their own product. Or do the least amount of testing before releasing. And they really give a rat’s ass about their frustrated customers who start to ask themselves what it is they are paying for.
The devastating reviews on the Chrome Web Store for Version 7.x speak for themselves.
Personally I’m most upset about the following regressions, but apparently there are even more features lost and bugs introduced: Continue reading
Weil Scheisse am Schuh so schön ist habe ich begonnen, Hundehalter auf das nicht weggeräumte Geschäft ihres besten Freundes anzusprechen. Es ist ein sehr lustiges Trauerspiel.
„Er bekommt Mischkost“
Achso, Mischkostscheiße. Das ändert alles, die hat man ja gern am Schuh. Continue reading
TailwindCSS is hands-down my most useful CSS tool of 2017. It’s a fantastic helper to create utility-first CSS. I’ve been working with it since its first public release and I’m still more than happy to have it.
Today I found out a way to make it even more useful. Say you’re having a Parent Theme that you use for a lot of projects, where each project implements a child theme that needs to adjust properties such colors, breakpoints or font stacks. That’s as simple as requiring your Parent Theme’s tailwind.js, override or add properties and export the adapted config.
const config = require('../parent_theme/tailwind');
config.colors['grey'] = '#eee'
config.screens['md'] = '32em'
module.exports = config;
I rediscovered Alfred and I’m confused why I ever stopped using it in the first place. It’s a fantastic tool and so much more than an application launcher. If you already like the basic functionality you should consider buying the Powerpack extension to be able to make use of custom Workflows.
A beautiful reminder to live our lives in the present.
With every PHP update MAMP Pro adds an updated `php.ini file, so previous adaptations are lost after upgrading.
Interestingly, editing a specific PHP versions config file (via File > Edit Template > PHP -> [Version]) doesn’t have any effect on MAMP’s PHP used on the command line. To increase the PHP limit to be able to work with Composer I did the following:
memory_limit value by running:
php -r "echo ini_get('memory_limit').PHP_EOL;“php -r 'phpinfo();' | grep 'php.ini'Rinse and repeat with every MAMP update.
When I impulsively re-subscribed to Spotify Premium last week it was for listening to and finding new music. All the more I was pleasantly surprised when I discovered a bigger-than-expected selection of audio books being available on Spotify these days. I found myself thinking about weather this could even justify canceling my Audible subscription and stick with Spotify for the long run (I’m not sure yet if I want to pay for both services on a constant basis).

I can’t even count anymore, how often I’ve tried working with another Editor than Sublime. Especially Atom has caught my attention quite a few times. But every time I tried to actually use it I ended up being frustrated and jump back to trusty old Sublime.
