I built a tiny app today!

As a weirdo who likes to use CSS named colors like "hotpink" or "peachpuff", it can be hard to pick the right color in this limited palette. There are not many tools that help you use this palette.

Now you can use https://csscolors.app to find the closest colors to your selection :)

Do you post a toot, or do you toot a toot?

The one thing I like better about Bluesky is the username format is @username.domain.tld instead of @[email protected] on mastodon, which still confuses people

Made a new version of my website, https://lobau.io/

Any thoughts?

Since 2006, I help people do more with their computers. I try to build things that are useful, ethical, and beautiful, like Sketch, AirDrop, and PopStage.

Also looks pretty good on the overview :)

Now if I can squeeze in a Gnome rant: half of the apps reset their window size on launch, so it's really not worth the effort lol

now that almost all #gnome apps support mobile, it's time to rethink tiling window management you cowards

Leaving a tab open is the least efficient way to make a todo people. Close the tab and write yourself a todo. Close all your tabs at the end of the day and transfer what you haven't done to your todo list. The following day you won't be greeted with a giant tab bar, it's liberating. Try it.

I'm sure if the twitter brand color finally switched to red, users would still not see how they have been totally slow boiled.

I wrote an article to help people without a design background feel comfortable when designing!

I would love your feedback if you read it! Also, if I'm going to write a follow-up, what should it be about?
