It's no secret that I've been struggling, and my therapist said I need to find things to keep me busy, so I created the @cdnspace Artemis II dashboard.

I reverse-engineered the Unity Engine powering the NASA AROW visualization and found an absolute treasure trove of data to display.

Little did I expect that it's now being seen by anywhere from 200 to 600 people at any given time with 130,000 people having looked at it in the last 24 hours. People are even building projects around my API.

Yesterday, I received a message on LinkedIn from someone working in Mission Control in Houston... and they're using my dashboard! He even sent me a photo, but I can't share it until after the crew has splashed down.

Mind blown, and an absolute pick-me-up. The best part? It's being served from my basement.

Flipboard’s Surf, which I first wrote about in 2024, is finally available without an invite as a web and Android app. (iOS still has a waitlist.) It’s a wildly inventive and invigorating way to find stuff that’s actually worth reading, watching, and listening to. https://www.fastcompany.com/91520679/surf-flipboard
The web can still be wonderful, and Flipboard’s Surf proves it

This new app lets human beings weave together worthwhile stuff from across the internet, in a way that’s uniquely rewarding—and sometimes even beautiful.

Digital Accessibility Policies and Statements - What, How and Why

ā€œIt has only been a couple days since #NASA successfully launched #astronauts to the moon for the first time in over half a century. But the Artemis II mission's four-person crew has already delivered striking postcards from their journey: behind-the-scenes #photos of what they've been up to in the cabin, and jaw-dropping visuals of the planet we call home.ā€

I am seriously impressed by #Forgejo's (the software powering #Codeberg and other GitHub alternatives) migration tool.

Git history, issues, PRs, wiki data; all migrated perfectly from GitHub.

You can link your GitHub account afterwards, and all migrated things move over to your user - so you can edit things like comments you originally wrote on GitHub. It's like the migration never happened.

It even migrates tiny details like comment reactions.

And because the account linking is lazy, users that haven't yet joined Codeberg aren't losing out: the moment they join and connect their account, they suddenly own everything they did on the old repository.

This is wizard shit. I'm a bit blown away at how flawless and easy the process was.
