A chronological view of everything I've posted here, since the beginning of time (or the blog's inception, whichever comes first).
Thomas gives a bunch of examples of things you should avoid doing if you want your website to look good on Safari’s new Liquid Glass design. All those don’ts are perfectly illustrated by a website that didn’t take Liquid Glass into account… apple.com.
The new Safari is such an incredible failure.
AI can code, but it can't build software
Yes! Any good developer will tell you that coding is the easiest part of the job. Making software actually go beyond a feature demo is what’s really hard. It’s something I’ve been taught ever since I began working on the field, actually. Learning to code is essential, but learning where to put the code and how to foresee all the hundreds of complexities is my actual job.
Expectations, feature scalability and security are very much human components of the job and can’t be properly done by something that’s not human.
Okay, this is pretty cool. This lil’ website allows you to do quick image edits right on your browser. Nothing new there - except for the fact that it actually works with no account, no ads, no popups, no upsell. Truly a marvel!
Another cool little web utility. This one lets you squoosh your image files to greatly reduce their file size without any significant loss in quality. Especially useful if you have a website of your own and want to optimize your images.

I can totally see this being decent if they stripped away at least half of it and made 3 or 4 decent episodes, but in true Netflix fashion they opted for 8 bad ones instead.
A show that doesn’t really know what it wants to say, with a pacing so awful that often killed any sort of interest in what was going on.
Write Code That Runs in the Browser, or Write Code the Browser Runs
Really cool thoughts on the tradeoffs between control and performance in web development, and how whatever you build will never outperform the browser’s built-in APIs.

I know, I know. It’s EA. But I love football and there’s enough good here to let me live the fantasy of a career mode.
The menus are a complete mess and half of them don’t work most of the time, but the gameplay is cool. I’ve founded Polenta FC and have had a blast managing the club.

I’ve played this game on and off since 2021, and surprisingly never stopped to give it a review.
It’s a dream come true, honestly. Space exploration at its finest, exploring worlds is always fun, there’s so much to do and still the best thing to do is nothing. I love just walking around a pretty planet and taking screenshots of the amazing views. Whatever problems it has just fade away in the vastness of space.
I absolutely adore the dialogues, too. So many existential quotes that just hit the right spot.
A cartoonist's review of AI art
A really fun web comic of an artist explaining his thoughts about AI art. I think I agree with all the points there.
Notebook Navigator - Modern File Explorer for Obsidian
This is beautiful. This Obsidian plugin completely overhauls the file navigation and makes it actually usable. It fixes one of the app’s biggest problems for me: navigation.
You can add custom icons to folders as well, which I used to need a separate plugin for.
A really cool CSS gradient generator that supports all the new CSS color stuff that’s been coming out in the past years (and that I honestly don’t know much about).
Aside from the cool UI and easy-to-understand code it generates, it can generate HDR and SDR gradients; which means that on supported browsers and devices, your gradient might pop out with higher dynamic range (and have the SDR as a fallback). Great if you really want the colors to pop.
