I'm launching the first chapters from a fantastic new book on Monday, and it's coming together really nicely. Chapters 1 and 2 are done, and chapter 3 is about 95% of the way there – now it's just polishing, polishing, and more polishing 🚀 twostraws.gumroad.com/p/introd

@stroughtonsmith thanks for doing this!

My problem with existing read it later apps was I always forgot to read the links I saved.

Thus Laytur was born! A read it “laytur” app that allows you to add links to digests that will notify you according to the schedule you create.

Within your digest you can also include sources like an RSS feed, mastodon user, etc.

Would love for people to beta test:

The Ninetendo Switch is such bloody good value. Along with Switch games, you get NES, Gameboy, Mega Drive, SNES, Gameboy Advance and N64 games.

Wild.

I miss the screenshotting tool Ember, that helped me organize and tag screenshots. Any recommendations for similar tools?

Wrote up a blog post about integrating Mastodon with my Astro website!

I had a lot of fun incorporating Mastodon's RSS feed and API into my site, and building a custom landing page for my content.

Wondering about #hugo vs #astrojs vs #11ty for my personal blog. I've been using Astro, however I've also been having some problems upgrading to 2.0 so I've been looking at Hugo.
It seems really fast, providing a great dev experience and quite extensible, yet simple. What are y'alls opinions on Hugo?
