Web and app developer. Coffee, beer, and running, in any order.
I hadn’t publicly addressed the endings of these businesses, so I figured it was time to do so.
Jeffrey’s reflections on A List Apart, A Book Apart, and An Event Apart are touching. All three of those endeavors influenced my career, and I’m beyond grateful. It’s sad that it came at a personal cost to him and his partners.
In 2024, A Book Apart closed its doors after publishing a much-loved collection of more than 50 brief books for people who make websites. …we've put together this semi-official directory to help you find our books in their new homes.
I have a bunch of these books, and they’re great. Most of the authors are rather awesomely making their books available online.
I canceled my Strava premium membership today. It kept getting more expensive, and the new features mostly didn’t seem worth it.
The final straw was the recent API Agreement changes prohibiting showing “Strava data” to anyone else and “processing” data.
Third-party apps are no longer able to display your Strava activity data on their surfaces to other users.
I’ve long had “integrate with Strava” on the backburner for my website, but now I think I just need to host my activities myself. This feels a lot like when Twitter clamped down on their API.
how do you store the time of an event?
This is some very well thought out advice from Simon. Time is hard.
