I wrote about building websites with LLMs — (L)ots of (L)ittle ht(M)l page(s) — and I think it’s time for a post-mortem on that approach: I like it. I’ve tweaked a few things from that original post but the underlying idea is still the...

A while back I decided to stop using Tailwind for new projects and to just write vanilla CSS instead. But one thing I missed about Tailwind was the colour palette (here as CSS). If I wanted a light blue I could just use blue-100 and if I...

tl;dr: ArgotWhatsapp, Messenger, Signal, Discord, Teams, SlackSome better than others, some truly encrypted and some not. What they all have in common is that they're controlled by one single entity - yet those are the services we trust...
