What a fox bathing spot , shared by @jonheslop.com for your #FoxOfTheDay today !

Currently divesting myself from Vercel. I replatformed gif.land over the weekend. It was Next.js on Vercel and it’s now Astro and Cloudflare. I put a little note up on my blog about the transition jonheslop.com/posts/2025/d... It was my first time building anything with Astro, it’s really nice!

Some wonderful mail has arrived from @robinsloan.com! www.robinsloan.com/newsletters/...

I’ve managed 4 weeks of week notes — jonheslop.com/posts/2025/1... Probably speaking too soon, but I might be finally be getting into the rhythm of it gif.land/rudd-work.gif

Week 11

Burgers, bike rides, AI and waterfalls

The day Tweetbot died was the day I stopped using Twitter - looking forward to this

I’ve posted week notes for the first time in a year: jonheslop.com/posts/2025/8... I talk about zwift, sunshine and gif.land I’ve been reading a lot more RSS lately and wanted to get back into the habit of posting more often myself

Inspired by @ethanmarcotte.com, I’ve made a silly new website called gif.land — an online home for all my favourite GIFs. It’s glued together with Cloudflare R2, a @tur.so SQLite DB and next.js. I’ve blogged about it too: jonheslop.com/posts/2025/gif-land

My online memory bank of my favourite gifs

I love twiglets but they are also totally mental. So dry, so twig like. Imagine offering them to someone who didn’t know the concept nor grown up with them.

This is amazing

I am utterly delighted by this subversive use of the Bluesky label feature, where you can subscribe to a custom app that then adds visible labels to profiles This one shows you which posh expensive private school British public figures attended, plus their current fees bsky.app/profile/dadd...

This was also my (our families) first computer, got it on my 10th birthday. I cried

Age yourself with your first computer

Whilst it quite exciting watching this get big very quickly, and sure Bluesky’s algo is kinder right now. It reminds me of this brilliant and elegant essay/thing Robin Sloan wrote/built about the inherent problem with runaway engagement and communication at scale www.robinsloan.com/special/plat...

All this suffering, when the fix is so simple.

Maybe bluesky should be where I post about birds. I saw these two this morning. Deffo not Curlews. Could be be sand pipers but I thought their beaks looked too skinny. So maybe godwits???

Finally jumped ship, I somehow was in some twitter bubble where I wasn’t really seeing the grim stuff others seemed to (I never read replies and only looked on following) BUT Twitter mostly died for me when I couldn’t use Tweetbot anymore. Anyhow lets see how it goes over here 👋
