I created Mwmbl, the not-for-profit, free and #opensource search engine, because I'm unhappy with commercial search engines.

The world's knowledge should be free!

I live in the Swansea area with my wife and four kids.

We're now tracking how many unique URLs we have in the index!

Two recent changes I've made to the Python docs I'm happy about:

πŸ“˜ Links are underlined, which is important for accessibility.

πŸ“— The dated Lucida Grande was the Mac system font a decade ago and used for the docs on Mac (and only Mac). We now use the system font stack, to get a similar result to Linux, Windows, Android and iOS.

The Python tutorial, shown on macOS with Arial and prose, non-navigational links are underlined.

@hugovk great stuff. Thanks for bringing the underlining of links to my attention. I think we're going to need to make some changes to Mwmbl...

We're gradually removing our dependency on closed source software, in this case M$: source code is now mirrored on at https://codeberg.org/mwmbl/mwmbl πŸŽ‰

Unfortunately we can't move off just yet as we rely on it for people to find our project... but we plan to one day!

Petition to have every Monday meat-free in Welsh schools https://petitions.senedd.wales/petitions/245992 @wales

@davidoclubb @wales this is a great idea - apart from the reasons listed, meat every day sounds very unhealthy!

    @fkamiah17 can you share the source? I can't find it on the interwebs

    @fkamiah17 still can't find it - this one? https://twitter.com/pmofa

    @fkamiah17 I'm sure not but I don't want to repost without verification

    @fkamiah17 fair enough! I guess we'll hear it elsewhere soon

    Started a booklist related to making #OpenSource. Check out the initial recommendations at https://openresource.dev/resources. Got other recommendations to add?

    @openresource this is fantastic. I started reading the first book and found two things I'm doing wrong straight away 😭
