Thank you!

Good run, reached stage 8

It's also a PWA, so I recommend adding it to your phone's homescreen.

I find it incredible how fast you can test ideas nowadays!

Feedback is very welcome :)

Built a dice based game! (Yahtzee x Roguelike)

The MVP of it was already really fun, so I added some more things!

Play it here: dice-jaga.bryanhogan.com

I also think we'll see a big move towards closed groups / group chats where people know each other from real-world interactions.

Reddit, Threads, etc. is already full of fake humans, bots trying to promote some service, manipulate opinions or anything similar. And it wil only get much much worse.

Would love to see a video demo :)

It's incredible how early he was in realizing the potential of the web. He started 12 years before Khan Academy!

Looks very cool! Was also looking into building my own solution of combining a markdown file with a Kanban board for using it in AI assisted coding

Cloudflare, DigitalOcean or Github Pages is what I've been using :)

Writing my application right now :)

The places that need UX/UI expertise the most are also the places that are the most unaware that they do.

How are you using it to create presentations?

I see! Deleted the comments then :)

Interested :)

A good Kanban app is surprisingly rare, insanely rare actually.

What aspects of GitHub Projects did you dislike? Haven't used it yet, but was thinking of potentially doing so for a freelance project of mine.

I have some recommendations over here as well: webdev.bryanhogan.com/start/ways-t...

Is there any point in using any other GPT model than "GPT Codex 5.3" when using Codex?

GPT 5.2 for general knowledge? 5.1 Codex Mini as a sub-agent?

The open source design stack Scott Riley tested free and open source design tools out when researching his course, Mindful Design. They actually worked out better than Figma ever could, as he explains in this article with loads o...

Fantastic look at open source options for design work by @scott.is over on @piccalil.li. Useful info, and a fun read as well.

Thank for sharing, was a great read.

For knowledge gathering I can recommend Obsidian, Affine is also great though.

Hoping to see more investments into PenPot, it's very promising.

Updated my post about different ways to build a website!

Going over different tools you can use if you just want to have a website, from website builders to content-management-systems to custom coding.

Thinking the penguin has to go, but with what?

Maybe soap, but I like using animals. Maybe keep the penguin? But I don't want any associations with Linux.

Actually, this is what I meant: example.com/custom-slug

On Chrome it works. Was using Android + Firefox. Am currently in China using a VPN.

I'd love example.com/post-title

I get a blank white screen when I try to open it!

Is there a good place to request & discuss feature requests?

The only thing stopping me from using Leaflet is that I can't choose the URL of a post 🙏
