SENDUNE: an HTML email design tool that lets you design your newsletter in a nice drag and drop interface, then export your HTML. Also, it’s open source and you can check the code in github.
If you are a #webdev type person and lately the web has felt kinda dry and not fun anymore, consider building a static site from scratch with no build steps, node, or vite.
Instead sit down in front of a code editor and hand code some HTML, CSS, and JS on your own. Fire up the @MDN web docs in a window, turn off all the builders and makers and pre processors and winds of tail and frameworks, and just try to build something cool, quirky, half-broken half-made, animated, and wholly your own. It will really help you get back in touch with why you wanted to be a web developer in the first place.

The Twitter home feed's been down for most of this morning. Even though nothing loads, the Twitter website never stops trying and trying.
In the first video, notice the error message that I'm being rate limited. Then notice the jiggling scrollbar on the right.
The second video shows why it's jiggling. Twitter is firing off about 10 requests a second to itself to try and fetch content that never arrives because Elon's latest genius innovation is to block people from being able to read Twitter without logging in.
This likely created some hellish conditions that the engineers never envisioned and so we get this comedy of errors resulting in the most epic of self-owns, the self-DDOS.
Unbelievable. It's amateur hour.
