  September 7th, 2019

  An interesting proposal to allow websites to detect certain SMS messages. The UX implications are fascinating.

  I was reading a post by Greg McVerry when I happened upon the credit for his featured photo. At first I had thought it was a stock photo, and when I realized it was from a IndieWebCamp, I looked closer and noticed that Aaron Parecki’s website was featured on the photo in the cell phone. I looked a bit closer and thought “someone has doctored his avatar as it’s tilted in the photo.” Then, knowing Aaron, I thought I had better check on my cell phone. 

  It turns out if you visit his site on a cell phone, his avatar rotates with the phone!

  The whimsy of this just brightens my day.
