  I'm curious what, if any, types of websites you actually want and allow browser notifications from.
  
  I feel like there's a good use case for them, but it's certainly not being notified of news articles or new recipes.

  Sometimes Duolingo makes up sentences that don't make any sense, but I think even this is something they couldn't have come up with if it weren't for the pandemic

  Pretty neat trick Wordle used to migrate everyone's saved game state:
  
  The main Wordle site was replaced with a bit of JS that grabs the game data from LocalStorage and puts it in the query string when redirecting to nytimes.
  
  Also notable: that code is vanilla JS, no libraries!

  I sold a washer/dryer on Facebook Marketplace, and now it's showing me new listings for washer/dryers. Glad to see the algorithm hard at work here.

  Do I know anyone involved with @LoginDotGov? I found a few (minor) issues with the OAuth/OpenID docs there https://developers.login.gov/oidc/

  So I've been spending my Saturday night preparing for tomorrow's livestream by reading up on all the details of YouTube's Content ID system and reading the licenses of various royalty free music sites, and all it's doing is making me more and more angry about the whole system...

  This microphone sounds great and looks incredible! 😍

  It's a USB-C mic with built in storage for on-board recordings, and you can also use it as a headphone jack for an iPad! I just posted a video going over all the features of the mic, so be sure to check it out on my channel! Thanks to @tula.mics for sending this over to check out!

  Well that's quite the sentence:
  
  "Facebook has built its empire on the ability to acquire intimate details about user behavior across the internet"

  PSA to fellow creators who use @artlist_io you might want to avoid using "Anthem of a Quirky Hipster" for a while... Seems like a comedian published the song in a comedy album and now YouTube is flagging any use of it thinking he owns the copyright to it.

  It's here! The new PK1 cage for the YoloBox!
  
  This cage is the mobile complement to the desktop version of the stand. This cage has two aluminum bars for attaching a variety of mounting brackets including handles, cheese plates, or this Smallrig monitor mount which then lets you mount a camera on top! The handles also have cold shoe mounts built in for even more options.
  
  I can't wait to get a chance to use this on the road during my next trip!
