I’ve been diving into the indie web world these past few days.

Really like it so far, so I’ve decided to be more active on Mastodon (and probably less active on here – at least for now).

Feel free to join me :D

Every time OpenAI announces something new is an opportunity to clean your feed from these “this changes everything” compilation-thread-accounts, who all post the exact same examples.

Not sure if I should be grateful for that or not…

Great principles for indie makers.

TIL that Google Docs supports Markdown syntax.

RSS feeds are one of the best inventions of the internet age.

My problem with it is that many popular readers are very cluttered and not that great to use.

One day, I’ll build a clean and minimal RSS feed reader myself.

WIP

Great example of an interesting post that has just an equally wholesome and informative reply section 🙌 https://xcancel.com/neuranne/status/1756602062865932429

The floating notes in @raycastapp are becoming my favorite feature of this otherwise already great app.

Map it to a shortcut (⌥ + ⇧ + Q for me) and you can write things down and forget about them without losing focus.

Feels like a better braindump.txt

6 years on Twitter/X 🥳

Happy lil magnetic button in Webflow :)

Seeing this also makes me more confident in my decision of learning @laravelphp.

For years, my TL was full of praisings for JS metaframeworks but in the last couple of months, I've definitely seen a shift.

• with @inertiajs, I can still use my fav js frameworks on the FE :) https://xcancel.com/Shpigford/status/1753188910304301260

Whut? 👀 https://xcancel.com/krzyzanowskim/status/1752091791455601149

First non-fiction read of 2024 ☑️

Reading about a more utopian vision of the future definitely makes me more optimistic that humanity can solve some of its biggest challenges in the near(ish) future.

English title is “Utopia for Realists”.

Built my own little X clone with @laravelphp bootcamp :)

Been enjoying tinkering with @laravelphp lately, feels like a breath of fresh air coming from js-metaframework-land.

TIL – seems like a great CSS property to solve z-index hell. https://xcancel.com/devongovett/status/1749858152072249823

Currently helping @cedric_design with some advanced code overrides for the new Dark platform.

Working with custom code in @framer always makes me better at understanding the nitty-gritty details of React that I wouldn't have learned otherwise.

Love it!

Winter-y vibes ❄️

Since everyone is currently sharing their @code setups, here's mine.

Always a wip and heavily inspired by some of the setups I saw earlier this week.

Might create my own theme on day though 🤔

Simply the best Mac app ever 🫶

@raycastapp

Handy @webflow tip to apply custom CSS only on the published site, not in the editor.

Place this attribute selector before the regular one: [data-wf-domain].

Useful if you have elements, that are moved out of view/blurred/… per default.

TIL, that there is a vector-effect property for SVGs.

It allows you to specify whether or not the stroke width is dependent on transformations applied to the SVG.

Minimal apps ftw! https://xcancel.com/raffichill/status/1726284792478761335

CS50 015

Started with lecture 3 – Algorithms

Back from Seoul, which means I have time to continue with CS50 🥳

Really enjoying learning about the more theoretical aspects of cs. E.g. I've heard of “Big O notation” before, but now I know what it actually means.

Little CSS-only hover interaction 🪄

I think I just found the fluid typo tool of my dreams. This kind of thing was always on my “want-to-build”-list, but apparently, it already exists 🙌

Few impressions from the nice alleys I visited last night ✨

Hi, Seoul! 🇰🇷

CS50 014

Problem set 2 done.

After a little break, I finally completed pset 2.

After Readability, I chose Wordle and it was pretty challenging. I'd say not as much as last week's problem due to the boilerplate code, but nonetheless very tricky.

“We already need more ephemerality within our digital lives… and we certainly don’t need more permanence seeping into our physical lives”

Couldn't have said it better! https://xcancel.com/julesterpak/status/1708960769885295076

“The best things asymptote to zero dollars per use over their lifetime.” https://xcancel.com/kepano/status/1708499101778923647

CS50 013

Finished lecture 2 – Arrays

Things are ramping up a bit, but still very comprehensible and interesting. It was really satisfying to see, how the puzzle pieces began to click together towards the end of the lecture.

Curious, what the problem sets are about 👀

CS50 012

Continued with lecture 2 – Arrays

Most disappointing thing was to learn that arrays in C don't have a length property like in essentially every other language.

Well… I guess this makes me modern languages even more – once again 🙃

CS50 011

Started with lecture 2 – Arrays

Learned more technical things about compiling and debugging. Plus also added a rubber duck to my shopping list 🦆

A hot new inspo website just dropped 🔥 https://xcancel.com/cedric_design/status/1705250722311524353

CS50 010

Problem set 1 done.

The Mario exercise was pretty straightforward, but the credit card one took me way longer than expected.

Mainly due to all the things that C doesn't do out of the box and I had to code myself.

But the feeling when seeing this console is 10/10!
