I use raindrop, too. It's OK, but the Mac app is really not great (single click on an item opens the link, rather than selecting the link, for example). I couldn't find anything better, so please let me know if you do! The iOS app works well for saving via a share extension 👍

It's one of my favourite games. I loved it so much and you're right to be proud of it. ❤️

Screenshot of the GitLab “Projects” page showing an error banner that says “Your projects couldn’t be loaded. Refresh the page to try again.”

Below, the Projects header appears with tabs for Contributed, Starred (4, selected), Personal (1), Member (5), and Inactive (0)”

GitLab has been fundamentally broken for *months* now. In addition to the long standing error where it gives a 500 error during 4/5 login attempts, the last few months it has been completely unable to list projects you are a member of or have starred. How does anyone use it?

Swift Package Indexing Join Dave and Sven, the creators of the Swift Package Index open-source project, as they talk about progress on the project and discuss a new set of community package recommendations every episode.

Sorry, I should have said *where* the interview will be! It'll be published on the Swift Package Indexing podast, which you can find here: swiftpackageindexing.transistor.fm

We’re interviewing @orta.io tomorrow about how CocoaPods is transitioning into maintenance mode.

Do you have questions you’d like answered about the transition? Is there anything concerning you? Would you like to say thanks to the team?

Reply or mail contact@swiftpackageindex.com with questions.

I hope if there's a HomePod with an iPad screen on it announced
tonight, that we all start calling it the iPadPod

My kingdom for a webpage that doesn't pop up a newsletter signup box after I scroll past the first few paragraphs. 😮‍💨

An image from an email marketing campaign with a popover showing the alt text, which says "ENTER TEXT THAT WILL BE READ ALOUD FOR ANYONE USING A SCREEN READER IF HARD OF SIGHT"

Email marketer checklist:

✅ Has alt text for all images

I mean, technically… 🙄
