The archive of what I posted on Twitter, which I now self host due to a lack of trust in Twitter and some other reasons.

I'll soon begin refelcting all my Mastodon posts here too. I'm happier self-hosting or maintaining an archive of my content on URLs that I can own.

There are tools to help you do this too. Such as this one from the makers of Eleventy.

My wife keeps sending me random pictures of our cat rendered as a cuddly toy and I’m here for it.

I'm a big fan of Raycast, and now I can use it for all sorts of #Netlify actions thanks to this extension. I can even use it to quickly search the docs.

My response to people sharing npm download graphs:

Gatsby Inc is to Gatsby.js

Vercel is to Next.js

Netlify acquired Gatsby Inc.

I took a peep over at twitter to see what people there were saying about this news:

https://www.netlify.com/press/netlify-acquires-gatsby-inc-to-accelerate-adoption-of-composable-web-architectures/

A big misconception I'm seeing is that Netlify wanted to *own* a react-based framework and join that club, leading to lock-in.

The opposite is true. Netlify already support other open-source frameworks without lock-in or roadmap ownership. Expect that.

And Gatsby is wayyyy bigger than Gatsby.js. ☁️

Advice that is seemingly obvious, but often overlooked. Plus all sorts of great insights and tips in this talk.

Nice. The #Netlify Drawer is available on branch deploys too now, if desired.

Gold found in my RSS feeds —

Thanking my lucky RSS stars that no matter how frequently or infrequently @mxbck blogs, I'll see it.

In this post he shares thoughts on why he might be posting less often than before, and give ideas that really chime with me on what might help grease the wheels. Very motivating.

Mulling over if I should share photos here in Mastodon, or if I should post to somewhere like @pixelfed and then occasionally share links to those photos.

https://pixelfed.social/p/philhawksworth/524657678070539111

A little like how I used to share instagram images on twitter in the old days.

Interesting to see what new habits form for other people too.

Movie scenes where somebody sits at a desk and casually plucks a few jellybeans from a glass bowl are the root of jealousy and wonder for me.

How fancy.
How organised.
How grown up.
How regal.

Happy new year to everyone except those who prefer their fireworks at home in residential areas.

Lots of love,

There are some movies that we love to watch each Christmas in our house. Do you have #HolidayMovies too?

Here’s an overlooked fave: Stardust

I've corrected tiny but annoying mistakes in my #Mastodon posts twice today.

Wow! This starter template for building websites with @eleventy by @lene is just brilliant!

Use it as a quick start, or as a great example to explore for lots of tips and techniques.

I maintain that if @eleventy had slick, fashionable, whizz-bang branding and docs that gave off vibes of being even 50% as mature as it is, it would be getting much more of the attention and adoption from bigger players that it deserves.

Same result if @zachleat started dressing like Jony Ive.

Possibly also of there was an 11ty cocktail, but I'm less confident on that one.

Making something which is either rather crafty, or stupidly going to blow up my code and make me look silly.
