Ok I just gave the code to johnmsteen@twitter.com! Patience for the rest, if you signed up yours should be arriving soon :). If it's any consolation, I didn't get noel@hey.com and I don't think my name is that common. So I wouldn't worry about getting your first name either.

I've got a hey.com invite code to give away, anyone who I know wants it? Free, of course, no payment shenanigans :D

#TIL that in most SQL engines the condition `category != 'movies'` will not return rows where the category is NULL, you should do `category != 'movies' OR category IS NULL` instead.

The other day I was saying it'd be nice to have an app that mimics the way that conversations happen in conferences/meetups. Today I found one that's very close to what I had in mind! https://remo.co

#TIL That CSS pixels are not equivalent to device pixels in high resolution screens. So <img width="300" height="300"> can actually be rendered as 600x600px in some devices.

Nice, Facebook will now be able to track us in Telegram as well. https://medium.com/@giphy/giphy-to-join-facebook-as-part-of-the-instagram-team-e7ea8d32d7b6

The best podcast app I've used and this happens :( Of course, it'd be easy for me to say "upload it to a different appstore". But is that even a real choice for a business owner? I really hope that the future is decentralized. More technology like RSS and email please.

If you want to become a better writer, learn to love the DELETE key.

Here's an idea: A video call application where participants can make conversation groups on the fly and organically. Like Zoom's breakout rooms, but managed by the participants and visible to everybody in the "master room".

This is Awesome :D https://writings.stephenwolfram.com/2020/04/the-wolfram-physics-project-the-first-two-weeks/

#TIL that display:flex in the body breaks pagination when printing websites in Firefox :/ use display:block instead.

Which is better? #php #coding

Here's something I've been pondering

I've been searching for the Javascript equivalent of Laravel's tap helper and I couldn't find it, so I ended up doing it myself. Here's my version in Javascript & Typescript! https://gist.github.com/NoelDeMartin/16c4d390e7c310d0387761f9b561f102

#TIL that Github Actions logs expire, and I wasn't able to find when. I had been switching to them in all my repositories for convenience, but this is a blocker for me. Back to SemaphoreCI it is.

Here's a sneak peek of the #solid media tracker I'm working on! I've probably spent more time than I should implementing some animations, but I'm happy with the results! https://noeldemartin.com/tasks/implementing-a-media-tracker-using-solid#comment-6

I love styling with TailwindCSS and I've learned a lot about colors and design systems using it. Today I created a simple PWA to help building color palettes with it, check it out. https://noeldemartin.github.io/tailwindcss-colors-generator/

I joined moodle.com 3 months ago, and now I can say that I am very happy to be working here. I struggled to find a company with values that I share, but now that I have I'm looking forward to being here for a long time :).
