Forgot to say I won't be posting on here much if at all any more – you can find me @​inbn​.dev on the other place.

I hate this pattern so much: asking someone to disclose 8 pieces of personal info just to download a PDF that should've been a web page should be illegal.

why does every website targeted at devs have to look like vercel? please, if you're going to use shadcn for everything, at least change the default colours.

@storyblok @cloudinary @ascorbic Airtable is a way to organize data and build no-code apps. You can use it to store tabular data, do project management, build a product database, and more. With the Airtable loader you can pull down from any Base into your collection.

Can confirm that having a pint alone and going on your phone is as good in Spain as it is in the UK, even when you have to say something daft like ‘una pinta dirty devil juice ipa por favor’ to get it.

I'm desperate to migrate away from Gatsby for a bunch of reasons – the only barrier to doing so is I need something else that gives me Airtable with a GraphQL API. I've seen that there are services which can do this. Are any of them any good (and free)?.

I have no idea why the YouTube algorithm has recommended this to me, but it has absolutely made my Friday afternoon.

update: I've added a bunch of new links for those design systems with public GitHub repos, Figma kits, or Storybooks.
