1. I consider myself in the camp Justin describes here in the screenshot.

2. I dont concretely know how else to use this edge than by creating products and sell them. I would not join an established company by offering this mix of skills. Why would I? Why would they hire me? I don’t understand.

More like it.

The original one was funky, this one is plain, clean, and obvious.

But... I like this one a little less, for some reason.

Not quite there...

Giving the biog some view transitions:

Just dug up an old design for a site a buddy of mine and I were working on in 2001

Ever wonder how in Star Trek, nobody’s on their PADD, doom scrolling?

It’s a loaded question, because it’s a show.

I wonder, because I think it might have something to do with the adventure they’re on, and the discipline and the hurry to make it happen.

You made it through the Academy!

Anybody have any idea what to do to fix bottom sticky elements in iOS Safari 26?

I'd like to either hide whatever comes after this bottom sticky bar (it doesn't scroll behind Safari's new liquid bar), or position it to the absolute bottom (below the new liquid bar)

safe-area-inset-bottom is no use

Putting the whole computer board in the bump, the antenna, everything...

...that must have been a fun set of eureka moments for the designers

You know, y'all who are trashing Safari...

How is it the hanging-punctuation is like this in 2025?

What's going on, Internet?

Fun!

You get a lot for free with Turbo Frames.

The Cancel link targets the right data-turbo-frame and boom.

Well well! This does the job:

RE: View Transitions and Turbo...

Anybody run into this problem?

In Chrome, the view transition gets skipped from a Turbo Frame render.

Works in Safari.

Was just at a local accelerator hub (Invest Ottawa) for an event, and look at what I found:

A "Take a Book" bookshelf of entrepreneurial titles.

So I took one that had a double:
"Onward", about Starbucks' CEO.

And look at the Montreal Entrepreneur's Guide from early 2000s!

Today hitting "deploy" on a small step with ReadWith that's been long in the making:

If you're in the beta:
Look for the "Invite others to read with you" link.

If you're interested in joining the beta, hit me up, I'll add a few spots.

Today I'm sending out updates to friends with whom I've been reading books with my ReadWith app.

The new version of ReadWith is redesigned, adds a way to discover other friends whose book reading notes I've vouched for.

Looking forward to hear people's feedback.

Currently Reading...

A couple of these pair well with each other. I like reading a couple books at the same time, on a similar subject.

Curious for your take:

What does this screen tell you, in a book club app?

Thinking of putting together a local meetup in #ottawa #yow.

Tentative name:
"Minimum Viable Meetup"

Who it's for: devs and creatives working on side projects, digital inventions or products.

Format:
A recurring "Projects Night" event to start, every two week.

Feedback on a logo to use (1-4)?

Got it into the app. I kinda like it.

Equal height back-card:

If the back card would take more room than the front card would take, use min-w-full on both and -translate-x-full on the back card.

Avoiding a dropdown is fun, but I don't know if I'm going to regret this...
