I'm popping my head up on here to say that I launched a StampGood a service to send real postcards to friends and family. 🐌💌
Like real cards you can pick up and hold, stick to your fridge. Yes it is also slow. On purpose.
$5 CAD, Canada only for now.
Details👇
This project is over 10 years in the making with a campaign I did called "gratitude cards" after a flood affected my community. I took that concept and have expanded on it, a lot. But the core idea is the same. Stay connected. Spark joy. Raise money.

I just went down a google analytics implementation, privacy, and consent rabbit hole.
My takeaway is that a lot of the blog writing on the topic does not do a good job talking through properly setting up consent with GA.

Today my daughter wanted me to do her hair instead of her mom.
That feels like a big dad win!

Unrelated to web dev, I am really excited women are finally riding at Red Bull Rampage this year!

What is the gap now between Astro and Next.js?
Are there things one can do really well the other can’t?
I’ve done some small personal projects in Astro but all my work has been in Next.js over the last while. Curious how Astro works in larger “app” type contexts now.

I wrote a small piece about the shift in dev work as the usage of AI ramps up. Probably not a unique perspective but I do think the landscape of dev work is changing and "ideas" are becoming more valuable than ever.

What is a short brandable .com worth these days?
Got something kinda like Google. 6 letters and phonetically makes sense.

Anyone run into weird race condition stuff with the Web Share API in Chrome?
Working in Safari/mobile. Works when sharing to other apps via Chrome. Only works 1/10 times when trying to share from Chrome to messages app on a Mac.
Ideas??

I just got straight 100s in Lighthouse with Next.js, without even trying?🤷♂️
I thought we were supposed to be seeing declines in scores with Next.js?

I've been having a lot of fun coding updates to:

My attempt at a kids coloring website (that really I built for my own kids). Interesting UI/UX problems to solve alongside some neat coding issues.

I've been super quiet on here because I have been super busy in real life. Lots of parenting. Lots of biking. Lots of coding. Lots of mental health.

Got another 30km day in on the mountain bike and some good coding in after a week of being sick.
Felt good.

Writing Next.js server actions tonight. I'm not sure they deserve the grief they have been getting. Maybe it is a spicy opinion but I actually find them pretty good.

How do I offload a nearly complete POC? It has value to the right company, but I don't have time/money to see this idea to the finish line.
I built a pretty full-featured app to track lost dogs based on images/AI. Works shockingly well.
