Hey, I'm a #designer & #developer from Germany. I like the open-source spirit and am dipping my toes into decentralisation. I've also always had a knack for #creativeWriting, so that's something I like doing in my time off. Nice to meet you! 😁

I remember a time when I was excited about #GoogleIO, but for a few years now, it’s always felt like a drawn out death rattle with repeating information, cringe jokes and performances, and innovation that feels like it’s trying very hard to convince people of its usefulness when actually it’s just empty promises. 😅

@marcel well if only the “o” stood for “on device”. 😅

I wonder how they got the replies to be so instantaneous. 🤔

I wish there was a way for a to schedule a notification on-device without the need of a server.

That’s it, that’s the Toot.

@billy I can understand the sentiment! I feel like these days we’re 95% there for 80% of use-cases, at least on Android (Safari keeps getting better, but is still a mess).

It can be very frustrating when something like notification scheduling is missing (there even was an origin trial for it in Chrome a while ago, sadly the feature got dropped), but personally, I still think web apps are the future.

For me at least, the benefits still outweigh the issues. 😊

@amxmln@mastodon.design avatar

@billy yeah cross-platform-ness is a big reason I like the web. I feel like it’s the only true way to offer something on almost any platform from the same code base. Plus, using HTML and CSS for UIs just feels right to me. 😅

That being said, I haven’t done much native development, so I can’t really say how things are going on that front.

Okay, something is off, it’s barely 11pm and I have an entire train carriage to myself? 😳

Some people have joined now, so it’s probably not going to the void, but it’s definitely been an odd experience. 😅

Not unwelcome though. 😊

We're back to my recurring nightmare of making it easy for a non-technical client to edit a static website generated using .

Are there any good solutions? Or am I going to end up writing my own solution after many painful hours with other people's janky solutions?

If you know of a non-technical user successfully editing a static website, how are they doing it?

EDIT: I'll only use open source solutions I can self-host, but happy to hear about proprietary options.

@amxmln@mastodon.design avatar

@skyfaller I’ve built @mattrbld to solve this problem, maybe it could work for you?

It’s not open source quite yet, but it will be by the end of the year! You can already try it out, if you want to, though. 😊

iPadOS needs to improve the experience on that OS, I found it useless having that product. I don’t know if I’m wrong but it’s just my opinion.

amxmln,
@amxmln@mastodon.design avatar

@gabopsd exactly. I have a Pro and a Mini and I hardly ever use the Pro because other than drawing, I can’t do anything on it I couldn’t do on the Mini (which ends up being reading most of the time, for which the Mini is just the better form factor). 😅

amxmln,
@amxmln@mastodon.design avatar

@gabopsd Procreate and Affinity Designer are great on it, but that’s pretty much it, yeah. 😅

@andycarolan close tie between Nintendo and Valve, but I think I bought more on Steam lately. Factoring in hardware though, I’m not quite sure if Nintendo wouldn’t pull ahead. 😅

@penpot released their big 2.0 update earlier this year and I finally found the time to give it a proper try.

Here’s what I think about it after using it to sketch out an idea for my website: https://amxmln.com/blog/2024/penpot-2-0/

@timotheegoguely no, I haven’t, are they collecting reviews? 🤔

I really wish websites would stop automatically showing me an AI translated version of their content. Yes, my OS is set to German, but that doesn’t mean I want to read technical content in German as well, especially when it’s obviously badly translated by a LLM. 😒

I’m currently using the Mastodon app on the phone, but I’m seeing people using other apps for Masto. Can you tell me which one you’re using and what’s the best thing you like about it?

amxmln,
@amxmln@mastodon.design avatar

@vdvestelle I use @IceCubesApp on iOS because it’s the closest to @megalodon on Android that I could find. Both apps are incredibly polished and allow for some useful customisation like making bookmarks more accessible. 😊

I also enjoy @elk and @phanpy (because I love PWAs) but unfortunately they can’t remember my scroll position yet (let alone sync it) which is really important for me. 😊

How is that possible that the price of a train ticket is more expensive than a plane ticket? 🤪

amxmln,
@amxmln@mastodon.design avatar

@vdvestelle I know right? 😅 This is so ridiculous.

In a win for browser competition, Apple has been designated with respect to iPadOS under the Digital Markets Act.🇪🇺

Apple now has six months to ensure full compliance of iPadOS with the DMA obligations.⏰

Got my work done, cleaned the apartment, did some laundry—everything set for a few days off. 💪

Guess what started alongside my vacation?

A scratchy throat and concerning cough. 😅

Yay, I guess? 😅

amxmln,
@amxmln@mastodon.design avatar

@vdvestelle Yeah, unfortunately. 😅 Hopefully it won’t be too bad this time…was looking forward to a few days off to chill and work on my own things.

Thank you! 😊

@pixouls DevDuck does some awesome devlogs of their marine biologist game, I’ve been consistently blown away by the quality and storytelling, always excited when a new one comes out. 😊

At the beginning of the year, I started walking on a walking pad for three hours while working every day. Today it started making horrible noises. Now I’m sad. 😔

@amxmln@mastodon.design avatar

@vdvestelle sounds more like the motor is giving out or something got bent and is causing friction, I’ve oiled the belt, let’s see how it sounds tomorrow, but since it’s barely five months old, perhaps I’ll be able to get it fixed under warranty. 🤔

Although having to skip that thing anywhere scares me. 🤣😅

RSS isn't dead — quite the opposite! The best thing you can do is curate our list and make a feed to your website easily explorable.

AI pollution on the web is a real thing, and social media platforms are full of ads and tracking scripts. YouTube is full of artificially generated videos with thumbnails with shocked faces. Even books on Amazon! Books written and illustrated by robots. Can you believe this shit is legal 🤦‍♂️

Ps. I added an link to my RSS feed at the top of my website.

#rss

@pawelgrzybek what’s the reader app you’re using there? It looks really clean. 👌😊

Totally agree about RSS, I want to make my feed more easily accessible as well!

@pawelgrzybek thanks! 😊
