One of the most satisfying things I've done in the past couple of years is create the writing and notes tool I've always wanted. The screenshot is me using it today to write a book review for Digital Minimalism.

The notes UX I wanted didn't exist anywhere, so I made it myself. It's called @recollect, and although it's still in development, it's stable and I use it daily for everything.

It's also free for anyone to use if you want to try it out at recollect.fyi/

I know I'm late to the party on this, but when people say "headless CMS" do they kinda mean the database part of the "database publishing" of 20 years ago?

Like it is storing content separately from the HTML/CSS or app interface so one doesn't have to munge that stuff when making content, or munge content when making a site or app or something, right?

Or is there some new magic in "headless CMS" I'm missing?

Move over Bootstrap.

Web Awesome is an awesome successor to what in my opinion was already the best open source #WebComponents library (Shoelace) on the market. Now we have the best #CSS framework on the market.

All of the CSS is…um…just CSS and all of the components are…um…just web components. Native #WebDev APIs across the board. 🙌

Take a first look at the brand new public beta:

💛 Webring Wednesday #22 💛 | The Book Ring

The Book Ring is a cozy, bookish webring for readers, writers, and literary dreamers. Each member site is a unique window into someone’s personal library; be it filled with reviews, writing projects, fanfiction, or musings on favorite genres. It’s like getting to know people through their shelves, and it’s a warm invitation to wander from one book-loving site to the next.

The ring is part of a larger online library space and includes little snapshots of what members are currently reading, which makes discovering new titles extra fun. Whether you’re a fantasy lover, a historical fiction nerd, or just someone who enjoys curling up with a good story, The Book Ring is a comforting place to connect with fellow bibliophiles.

Question for those who use #screenreaders (specifically #nvda with Firefox). How do you get the screenreader to announce the Firefox developer tools? All I seem to get is "Developer Tools frame, Inspector Panel frame, Markup View frame" and no announcement of the actual HTML displayed in the Inspector panel.

Navigating with the keyboard (arrow keys) doesn't announce anything either, nor does NVDA + arrow keys.

Retoots would be appreciated!

Curious how many folks actually host their internet stuff from their home servers? Also, if you do... are you opening up ports on your router, are you using tailscale to a VPS to proxy the traffic, using something like Cloudflare Tunnels or ngrok?

#writers, #blog aficionados, #web enjoyers, #website browsers: lend me your ears! i need help with a big push to get the word out about #writing for GOOD INTERNET magazine's autumn issue! a digital AND physical magazine that ships all over the world, run & contributed to by volunteers! (‼️)

in case you're unaware, GOOD INTERNET covers a lot of different aspects of the #SmallWeb: unplugging from the corporate web, fighting #enshittification, migrating from data-harvesting corpo social media, creating your own personal website, using code and website-building as an art form, federation, and creating websites for fun. the aim is to be approachable for beginners and enjoyable for seasoned #indieweb travelers!

you don't have to be a professional #webdev or a #coding smartypants to write about all the good things happening on "this side" of the web. the idea here is to spread the word about and share thoughts, independent web projects, services, methods, sites, meet-ups, and celebrate the non-corporate web together while making it easier for us to partake and unplug from #bigtech.

📏 looking for 1,000- to 4,000-word articles aimed at website owners and hobbyists, digital (and traditional) #artists, #internet culture enthusiasts, #technology nerds, #socialmedia expatriates, & anyone who wants to unplug from the corporate-owned #web.

⏲️ the deadline is AUGUST 22, 2025 ⏲️

Just build your own #frontend stuff already. It's fine. You don't need a complicated product sold to you by some company. It's really not that hard. And then it's all yours! It will only turn to crap if YOU want it to.

Does anyone know of a table of data which shows PKI CA root certs and which devices/clients they are compatible with? (i.e. which devices/clients include each root cert in their default trust store)

I think I have asked about this in the past. It'd be incredibly useful.

Are you *really* writing “modern” #HTML if you aren’t using a metric shit ton of <div> tags?

Are you*really* writing “modern” #CSS if you don’t have a class name attribute list longer than your arm?

Are you *really* writing “modern” #JavaScript if you aren’t using React or NextJS and delivering the equivalent of 7 copies of Doom byte count wise for a static home page?
