Ugh! For weeks I’ve had mobile Safari on my iPhone in “Private Mode” and didn’t know it. I was getting so frustrated that I couldn’t seem to stay logged into anything, I couldn’t see my history across devices (which I rely on) and Continuity wasn’t working at all. It wasn’t until I closed every tab in […]

Sarah Pressler, our Project Manager at Plain, wrote the latest Links From Last Week post (a series we publish on the Plain blog) and shared a bunch of stuff Kyle and I have been doing elsewhere on the web. I liked this bit: After long days of solving problems and writing the code that goes […]

Twitter for iOS’s web view butchers the layout of my site. Sorry to all of those seeing it that way. I’ll work on a fix if I can figure out why it is happening.

We had a need for a bit of JavaScript that would look for hashtags (like #this) in content and auto-link them to search results. So I popped over to CodePen and scrawled out some messy jQuery to make that happen. This morning I woke up and thought… “it has been a little while since I […]

Apple Event take: I’ll be upgrading from an iPhone 6 to the iPhone SE as soon as possible. I’ll likely wait to upgrade to the 9.7-inch iPad Pro until Belkin updates their QODE Ultimate Pro keyboard.

First night using Night Shift. Unsure if I’ll use it. I don’t use sunglasses because I hate not seeing color correctly. This feels the same even if it isn’t.

I wonder if Apple will announce that Phil Schiller is finally Arsenic free.

In reply to Manton: If the iPhone SE ends up with a 6 or 6+ quality camera in it I’ll likely be switching to it late summer. But the 10” iPad still feels perfect to me. Side note: I look forward to when Barley 2.0 supports Web Mentions so that Manton would have been notified […]

My wish list for today’s Apple event: bug fixes and performance improvements.

Two sure-things during today’s Apple Media Event… Tim Cook will say “impourdent” and Hair Force One’s hair will look amazing whether or not he is on stage.

A beautiful day. Hope everyone enjoys theirs as much as I have mine.

Audio! Published something new on my site. A bit of audio. This first one is just a test that I ended up publishing. Feedback welcome. Also, I plan to have an embedded player once switched to Barley 2.0.

Krithika Muthukumar on the Stripe blog: This January, we invited three developers to come work on open-source projects full-time at Stripe. We specifically chose projects for this Open-Source Retreat that we felt would have deep impact in a variety of different areas. Stripe has done this for several years. I’m very jealous of it. If […]

Included in the amenities: the world’s highest-volume, fully adjustable pumped freestyle feature, at 1,200 to 1,400 cfs. […]

Making great progress on Barley 2.0. We’re at the point now where I’m even more excited about what will come of the platform after we get this version out the door. How slick will Barley 2.0.1 or Barley 2.1 be?

Instagram is jumping on the algorithmic feed bandwagon. But, they say they have a reason: You may be surprised to learn that people miss on average 70 percent of their feeds. As Instagram has grown, it’s become harder to keep up with all the photos and videos people share. This means you often don’t see […]

Great video of three women kayakers circumnavigating Corsica: Unknown by most sea kayakers, the French island of Corsica is a stunning gem of caves, sea stacks, beaches and cliffs set in the warm waters of the Mediterranean Sea. Last year, filmmaker Erin Bastian recruited her friends, Georgian Maxwell and Beck Hancock, to circumnavigate the island’s […]
