Today I published a blog post talking about what my ideal world of software looks like. I call it Skeuomorphic Software, check it out!

I recommended this CSS course last year, and now it's 50% off! https://css-for-js.dev/

There's so much content that after a year of starting it I'm still not done :O (I dedicate 1 hour/week). And I still enjoy it like the first day.

If you're curious, you can read about my experience thus far: https://noeldemartin.com/tasks/learning-css

If you're curious about the different approaches to make Solid Apps, @megoth just launched a website comparing some of them. It's also a great resource if you know nothing about Solid and want to learn some basics :). Check it out!

I just posted a video showing what you can do with the framework I'm working on, Aerogel. Check it out! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JXyCH_S9efk

Stackoverflow is down 😱

But don't fret, the Internet Archive has got our back :).

Just saw that my apps Media Kraken and Umai were featured in Tim Berners-Lee's recent keynote at the WeAreDevelopers World Congress :D. Thanks Tim!

The streaming industry is so broken that even though I'm paying for Netflix, I can't watch the One Piece Live Action in the Japanese nor Latin American Spanish dubs.

Can someone remind me why that isn't possible?

I'm back to Barcelona after a couple of months in Japan, and it was great!

It was my first time doing something called a "mini-life", and I think I'll be doing it again. You can read about my experience here: https://noeldemartin.com/tasks/working-from-japan

I'll be in Tokyo most of July and August, let me know if you're around and want to meet up!

This week I attended #penpotfest and I enjoyed it a lot! It was great to meet a community where Developers, Designers, and Open Source come together. I'll definitively pay more attention to @penpot!

I have sent a couple of letters to myself in the future and it's always been useful to see things more clearly. You know, all that about overestimating the short term and underestimating the long term.

I've been using futureme.org, in case you're curious to try it yourself!

What's going on with #Reddit at the moment is awesome. I hope it ends well and I hope to see a lot more of this in the future. Ideally, communities will eventually migrate to making better technology choices though. But hey, it's a start.

Yes please! More lifetime, and less subscriptions. And not just for content sites, I've been using apps for years that I haven't paid a cent because of the subscription model. But I would buy them in an instant. Don't underestimate "finished products".

If you enjoyed The Social Dilemma documentary, I recommend watching this: The A.I. Dilemma
