I'm thinking about how non-developers will feel about atproto. For example, will it take people by surprise that data entered into one app can show up somewhere else? More thoughts in this post.

Were you alive when Windows 95 was new? Remember Microsoft Comic Chat? I loved it. I missed it. They open sourced it on July 16th! Of course, I *had* to modernize the app with a classic feel. No IRC, but you can do E2E encrypted chats with others. Enjoy! arcade.pirillo.com/comic-chatte...

New personal website is live. It’s a bit sparse but all of the pieces are there. I’ll be filling out each program over time, plus learning to write 😄. I think of the entire system as a blog with different types of posts: text, photos, people, thoughts, items. So stop by. Make a stamp! dustin.works

CHILD’S PLAY: I found the perfect way to make an iPhone child-friendly, one that completely blocks web browsing but allows tracking and navigation. It’s not a paid-for 3rd party app, it’s completely free. Why is Apple not highlighting this great feature more? @wired.com www.wired.com/story/this-b...

This Buried Apple Feature Turns an iPhone Into the Perfect Kids’ Dumb Phone

Great write up by @sturobson.com on not conflating dark/light “mode” with “theme” and the value of separating their control and logic in code. www.alwaystwisted.com/articles/why... #noteworthy

Why Separating Themes from Modes Transforms Your Design System

Themes define your visual identity and palette. Modes handle brightness and accessibility. Here's why separating them transforms your design system.

I'm working on a column about the tech annoyances that drive us crazy, and I want it to be as universal as possible, so tell me yours! E.g. scanning a QR code to read a menu, never receiving the one-time passcode they supposedly texted you, "verify you're human" by IDing tiny motorcycles, etc.
