I published my first post using iA Writer yesterday. The experience was good, although dedicated blog software it's not.
Not that I want it to be.
It made a title automatically, which I understand, but is something I rarely use. Since I tend to write shorter posts.
But overall a nice experience.
My editor of choice for markdown is iA Writer and has been for years.
When Manton posted that they added Micro.blog publishing I was thrilled.
Then I stopped posting for a while. You know, pandemic and all.
So this is my first post using iA Writer directly.
Currently reading: The Aleph Extraction by Dan Moren 📚
WWDC is happening June 22.
Calendar updated!
Jason Pamental has a new project where he tries to create a good web based ebook.
Known for his web typography, this is a good resource to learn more about the possibilities with web fonts today.
Read the book at mobydick.wales.
To think that you can create one solution that will look and work the same everywhere is a fantasy.

I’ve seen things you people wouldn’t believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhauser gate. All those moments will be lost in time… like tears in rain… Time to die.

As a developer I read so much more code than what I write.
So this from Brent Simmons is spot on:
…I’d write code the way I normally would, with clarity in mind first.
Me wants! Now!
Jeremy Keith writes: Apple’s attack on service workers
This is not a minor change. This is a crippling attack on service workers, a technology specifically designed to improve the user experience for return visits, whether it’s through improved performance or offline access.
Time to try the Bravely Default demo.
Nintendo shared another Nintendo Direct today.
Lots of interesting games, even if some are older. Bioshock, Borderlands, X Com 2, Bravely Default 2, Burnout Paradise and more.
I’ll be buying some games in the near future. 🎮
I haven’t watched the Road to Playstation 5 video that Sony published earlier today yet.
Considering I don’t use my PS4 at all after buying the Switch, I’m not sure I’ll buy it on launch day like I did with the previous consoles. 🎮
And Apple knew I wanted a new iPad Pro with LiDAR Scanner and trackpad support in iPadOS
So according to Apple the New MacBook Air has more to love and is now just $999
I’m on my third play through of Breath of the Wild.
This resonated with me.
It messed me up. In some ways you might say it ruined video games. Other video games.
Who’s ready for WWDC 2020 in June?
As all schools and kindergartens closed in Norway yesterday, I’m today at home with my three kids. The work my wife does has been deemed critical by the government, so she’s at work.
I work for a company that creates an LMS. An LMS that has millions of users. Users that are moving to being online doing school work all day, instead of just parts of the day.
Which means all the performance improvements that I’ve been working on for work, suddenly became more important.
So here I am, at home, with three kids, and desperately wanting to help out at work but can’t.
At least not as much as I’d like.
Strange times this.
There has been much written about “CSS4” lately.
I agree with Louis Lazaris that CSS4 is a Bad Idea.
Honeypot is back with Vue.js: The Documentary.
I really enjoyed their Ember.js: The Documentary last year.
Currently reading: The Dark Tower III: The Waste Lands by Stephen King 📚
Local First, Undo Redo, JS-Optional, Create Edit Publish by Tantek Çelik.
I’d like to be able to construct an entire post on a mobile device, like a photo post with caption, people tags, location tag etc. all locally, offline, without any need to access a network.
Interesting.
Goodbye, Clean Code by Dan Abramov is something I think many developers can identify with.
Swift Playgrounds for the Mac.
I did not see that coming. I wasn’t expecting this until WWDC, if at all.
Time for the latest season of Homeland. 📺
