After trying many options and not finding a window manager I love on Mac, I decided to build my own wm. It seemed a waste not to share it though, so I decided to make a website for it. The website needs to explain the product, which is hard. IMO show > tell, so wm runs in a browser too! 😅

✍️ New Article: Balancing flex items with flex-wrap: balance I explored flex-wrap: balance and flex-line-count and really enjoyed using them. I even made a masonry layout by mixing flex-line-count, round, clamp, and container queries units! 😀 ishadeed.com/article/flex...

missed the apple keynote. so, for fun, I will skip the various tech reporting sites and instead review apple's new webpages. - which new delights and horrors will I discover? - what will be foisted upon macOS? iOS? iPadOS? - how will things meaningfully improve? will they? good luck, me! fun!

hmm haven't encountered one of these for a bit of time when clicking a link. after brief testing, most links in a post or in-card in a post do not present the link popover dialog box. I wonder what the trigger logic is for these popovers.
A bsky popover dialog, encountered when attempting to open a link shared in a post, with the following text:

I use multiple music streaming sites, mobile, and desktop apps every day. and every day is the most disappointed I am in the current state of music streaming sites and apps! 🙃 currently using: - soundcloud go+ - youtube music premium - apple music the problem here is that none of these are rdio

the daily side quest that is viewing + improving my "For You" feed: bad parts: - unending posts shown that are *not applicable* for me (therefore, 'Show less like this') - time consuming in a tedious way good parts: - shows _mostly_ decent posts - using 'Show more like this' seems to help fun!
