@rosano Great first episode! I actually agree on not following recipes to a T, but I still think having recipes is useful because otherwise I end up cooking always the same thing. Having a list of recipes is helpful to remind me of my options :).

We just opened a couple of positions for the Mobile Apps team at Moodle! A PHP developer and an Ionic developer. We are a small team based in Barcelona (working remotely), check it out if you want to join us.

@rosano @changbai A podcast about nothing, I think that could work 😂

@rosano Well it's not that I don't like using color per se, I like your logo for Joybox for example, but these ones give me the impression that they don't have enough contrast. Maybe you can check with tools like https://webaim.org/resources/contrastchecker/ or http://www.myndex.com/APCA/

I usually prefer plain colors to gradients, but that's just my opinion. It's difficult to say with these things, so don't take my opinion too seriously :).

@rosano @changbai I understand that you'll invite guests and have them talk about their side-projects or hobbies, in particular something they are not known for but they are still passionate about (?).

@rosano If I had to choose between A/B/C maybe I'd choose B because it looks more "readable" (meaning it's easier to see the logo itself). I wonder if any of them would be an issue for people with color blindness or that's just my impression? But actually I prefer the black & white version :). And I like it!

I'm curious, do you have tips or have you written about your logo design process? I'm struggling on making a logo for my new app and looking for inspiration I thought your logos were great.

@zersiax Awesome, thanks :D I'll let you know when it's ready!

As always, if you want to follow the updates about the project you can get them here: https://noeldemartin.com/now

It's been a long time in the making, but I finally have a visual update for my upcoming #Solid app! It's still work in progress, and I don't expect to release it at least until the beginning of next year, but it's starting to show its real form :)

Starting in an hour!

Make sure to come if you want to learn how to make #Solid, @remotestorage or @fission apps

@cblgh I tried this one a while ago that replaces butter with avocado and it was pretty neat 🥑 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ggwbgp2H5U8

Do you want to make apps using the #Solid protocol, but don't know where to start? This Wednesday I'm going to present a Hello World I've been working on, that just uses plain JavaScript and HTML (no frameworks!). Come and join the conversation! https://chat.0data.app/t/zero-data-swap-4-hello-world-november-24-2021

@dokoissho @rosano Nice :D some day when I implement tracking TV shows you'll be able to add Squid Game too! Or do you mean literal squids? xD

In January I'll be traveling abroad for the first time in 2 years, and what better occasion than to attend #LaraconEU in Amsterdam. I don't know how it took me this long to attend a Laravel conference, but it's finally going to happen. I'm super excited to meet my fellow artisans!

Some months ago I uninstalled WhatsApp from my phone, and it's been by far the most difficult technology to stop using... Only yesterday I was changing my internet provider, and they required me to have a WhatsApp account to confirm the appointment with the technician.

So I hope this "meta" thing doesn't catch on -.- https://about.fb.com/news/2021/10/facebook-company-is-now-meta/

@humanetech I guess I'm not surprised 😞 Maybe you can find a website to try, I just did a couple of searches and there are Emoji mashup builders online but they don't produce the same results.

@humanetech It's built with Gboard, you just switch the keyboard to emojis instead of characters and if you pick two you'll see the mashup https://lifehacker.com/create-and-customize-your-own-android-emojis-with-gboar-1841638107

This is apparently year-old news, but I just found out you can create Emoji mashups in Android and that's awesome :D.

For example, 🌶️ + 💘 =

@humanetech cool, thanks for letting me know :D

I still have to read your response in the forum, but I think it's ok to talk about that, you can't always separate tech from people. If it goes too much off topic you can always branch into a new topic.
