iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

Are you looking for native developed applications, or frameworks and web-stacks also work?

Everyone draws this (multi dimensional) line of what's too much "clickbait" somewhere else. I liked his take, don't mislead the viewer, show what they can expect, but still make them curious.

I got reminded of that video recently from Tom Scott's creator advice video which is also worth a watch: youtu.be/bx6_jj9RxhI

Clickbait is Unreasonably Effective

I think it's good to call it curiosity bait, which can be fair, to some degree, you want to make the potential viewer interested. Clickbait feels more towards the direction of misleading potential viewers. I like this video on this topic: youtu.be/S2xHZPH5Sng

Modernized the pages of my guide on writing clean CSS. Using a reset.css, var.css, global.css and util.css for consistent styling. Read them here: webdev.bryanhogan.com/css/css-setup/ Using this setup on my @astro.build Starter Template as well: starter.bryanhogan.com #webdev #buildinpublic

I have something similar, a project that contains the content I re-use for every projects including HTML boilerplate, CSS + design tokens and commonly used components, e.g. cards, footer and header. (Not Astro specific) Link: starter.bryanhogan.com GitHub: github.com/BryanHogan/a...

Love Svelte! Using it for many (web) apps I'm building. Might be so high because there are many Svelte users on BlueSky, maybe? Also surprised to not see Astro in the top 4.

A microscopic annoyance that forever irks me is the discrepancies between the 'Get it on Google Play' and 'Download on the App Store' badges. I hate how they're so similar, yet fail to have any cohesion. They always look awful when placed together, and I cop psychic damage each time I see them.

A badge for Google Play and a badge for the App Store. They're similar at a first glance, but the longer they're inspected, the more tiny differences there are. Size of the badges and elements, alignment of type, fonts used, borders – everything!

I mean, marketing and promotion aren't the same thing. Deciding which user problem to solve is already part of marketing. It might be worth putting together a marketing plan, though this will naturally overlap with product design and iteration (Plan -> Build -> Test -> Repeat).

I made my Astro Starter Template even cooler: starter.bryanhogan.com I wanted something I can recommend to people who need a simple yet high-quality website, now I can. Optimized for performance, SEO, a11y, yet simple to maintain, it's just a static website. #HTML + #CSS = ❤️ #webdev

Sure, will do! I have two vaults on my phone. This happens when I use the shortcut to open the vault that should open the daily note. I describe the setup of how I created the shortcuts here: bryanhogan.com/blog/obsidia...

But automatically opening the daily note seems to be bugged? At least on my phone it doesn't create the new note automatically even though the option is on in the settings.

The Android shortcuts bug seems to be fixed, thank you!

I wrote about which AI tools I use for coding (and design + some other stuff): bryanhogan.com/blog/ai-codi... Currently mostly using Codex and Claude Code in VSCode as extensions. OpenCode Go and Ollama Cloud (Kimi, GLM, DeepSeek, Qwen, MiniMax and MiMo) are also worth a look. #webdev #dev #blog

I mean that the UX added by the Starlight blog plugin is not that great. Starlight itself works well. Main problem with the plugin is that it does not communicate there being two different main states well, a good chance that the user assumes that the other mode doesn't exist. + Unclear how to swap

Bryan @bryanhogan.com · 29/06/2026

Yeah the plugin is cute but I wouldn't recommend it, I think the UX with it is not that great.

Cool to see that they plan to build something for Android and iOS in the future as well. Have been using Capacitor for that.

Okay! Curious, what did Firefox on Android dislike? The mail I tried was my Proton mail, similar to something like test@proton.me, in case you'd wanna investigate further.

Making a Website with Obsidian

I also wrote a blog post on making a website / blog through markdown content / Obsidian: bryanhogan.com/blog/obsidia...

bryanhogan.com

How can you build a website using Obsidian? From markdown to web.

If you want full control I'd recommend Astro, with Astro Starlight you don't need any dev experience: starlight.astro.build (Slightly complex, usually used for doc pages) There's also BearBlog: bearblog.dev You could also look into Leaflet, although they have some issues like SEO: leaflet.pub
