that sounds like a good idea, I'll have to dive into OBS to learn what's possible

the problem I have is that I use a 6k monitor, and I use most of it for switching between split views in the editor but also to see the output in a browser next to it. I could drop the resolution and hobble my workflow for the sake of the livecode, but my goal is to show how I really work

lol no , although I would watch that. I meant facing outwards, like how car driving PoV vids do it

Macrowave v1.1 is slowly coming together, and I am so excited about it.

A bunch of improvements for macOS and introducing the broadcaster for iOS.

true but that complexity could be brought down with comments-as-a-service providers (who could give you an iframe code), or having the option for comments built into hosted services like bear blog (more work for bear, but not for the blog owner)

Definitely a contributing factor, but theoretically you can have a static site generator that have a
comments module/plugin as a self-hosted service. But also lots of blog services for non-technical users (bear blog etc) also default comment-less.

The amount of times I read a great blog post and wanted to comment but couldn’t …

I think it’s a net loss that blog software went from having comments by default to not having them.

You could get around the money and privacy issues with a webapp that does its own fetching and stores all data in the browser (via indexeddb). No server – or user accounts – needed :)

Syncing between devices would require a sync service (icloud etc.) though, which is the same as it does now

Prototyping squeezing /commands into the existing /space link UI. This saves the hassle of toggling/un-toggling the More Options button in cards.

PSA: i've been getting a lot of phishing scam emails lately for services I use (like fastmail and hover). Be sure that your email app displays full sender email addresses (which is not the default in apple mail).

It's really hard to write about the little details because they're inherently boring to most people, but if you do it right then you can turn normies into enthusiasts.

Making a marketing page on my own terms is very much a case of "If I had more time I'd write a shorter letter". Spent like 3/4 of time getting the words just right. And 1/4 on the design/code.

Instead of glossy lipstick on a pig, I want to deliver bacon.

IMO ppl/companies/managers acting like this aren't new – but is it just me or does this kind of no-vision, all-optimization, kind of 'strategy' seem like it's more common these days?

maybe as a result of economic hard times making people less risk tolerant, more desperate, and rat-like?

After a year of cross-posting to twitter, mastodon, and bluesky, I'm starting to get more likes/replies on bluesky than twitter. It's finally happening.

Unlike writers, people see the compiled results of our work rather than the words we've written. So I invite you to open the web inspector and see how everything's laid out in Kinopio, I think you'll find it refreshingly straightforward and readable.

When making software that doesn't need AI,

- B2B: Put AI everywhere – investors and insecure managers love it.
- B2C: Leave AI out, normal people increasingly hate that shit.
