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!

oops, I accidentally viewsourced wordle and it turns out the next day's words are already chosen and visible in the source code. Don't look if you don't want to be spoiled!

Dear @Eventbrite, I have an account, so please make sure it is not possible for other people to sign me up for events with only my email address. I've been added to dozens of events over the last two weeks and it's an interesting new vector for spam. @EventbriteHelp

Fellow conference speakers! I'm tired of posting my slides on Speakerdeck, I want to host them on my own website.

What awesome tools are there for doing this in a way that looks as close to Speakerdeck as possible? I'm thinking maybe an old-school JS slideshow viewer?

Just used this handy XKCD chart to determine that it was finally time to build a web interface on top of this little PHP script that generates PDFs of checks, rather than continuing to hack up this code by hand every time I need to print one. https://imgs.xkcd.com/comics/is_it_worth_the_time_2x.png

It's okay nobody really knows how maps work anyway https://twitter.com/lavenderashtray/status/1479285712641875968

software you've purchased that auto-updates to a new version and makes you buy a new license is worse than software that is just a straight subscription model, just saying

If you just finished watching The Matrix Resurrections, next go watch Dr Horrible's Sing-Along Blog. You won't regret it I promise.

It took me almost an hour to add timestamps to my nearly 4 hour livestream all about the ATEM Mini Pro from yesterday! We covered everything from the ground up including basic switching and transitions, audio, adding custom graphics and more!

It's been over 3 years since I've published an update for Overland, my GPS tracker app, and I am a little terrified to re-download XCode and see how much work it's going to take to even make it compile now 😬 https://overland.p3k.app

That feeling when you're going through a website's registration flow and even though it's custom branded and looks unique there's something oddly familiar about it, then you look up the DNS records for their domain and realize they're pointing to @okta 😅

Really appreciating the new @AlaskaAir 💙 @TravelOneWorld alliance since my Gold 75K Alaska status converted into OneWorld Emerald and now I board first and get access to the good British Airways lounges! ✈️

Too bad I am going to lose it next year 😅

It's 6:45am in Germany and I'm on my way home, and operation No Jetlag begins! I Land in Portland at about 7pm, so I just need to stay awake for about 24-25 hours now.

Sadly my NFC tags don't have enough capacity to store my vaccine card data. I wanted to carry mine around as an NFC sticker. I guess I could make one that redirects to a URL of the QR code but that sounds less fun.
