So here's what I've been doing to push out my little PHP project updates:

One of the most satisfying things I've done in the past couple of years is create the writing and notes tool I've always wanted. The screenshot is me using it today to write a book review for Digital Minimalism.
The notes UX I wanted didn't exist anywhere, so I made it myself. It's called @recollect, and although it's still in development, it's stable and I use it daily for everything.
It's also free for anyone to use if you want to try it out at https://recollect.fyi/

I know I'm late to the party on this, but when people say "headless CMS" do they kinda mean the database part of the "database publishing" of 20 years ago?
Like it is storing content separately from the HTML/CSS or app interface so one doesn't have to munge that stuff when making content, or munge content when making a site or app or something, right?
Or is there some new magic in "headless CMS" I'm missing?
@ambrwlsn I agree.
Much joyful to me is building things using the simplest techniques so everyone can enjoy them.

Move over Bootstrap.
Web Awesome is an awesome successor to what in my opinion was already the best open source #WebComponents library (Shoelace) on the market. Now we have the best #CSS framework on the market.
All of the CSS is…um…just CSS and all of the components are…um…just web components. Native #WebDev APIs across the board. 
Take a first look at the brand new public beta:

ally)The latest version of #Mastodon improved the #FeaturedHashtags feature, and added the #FeaturedProfiles section to our profiles.
I don't feel like it's getting enough attention; there are few people using it.
So here are my #features, show me yours!!

Webring Wednesday #22 | The Book Ring
The Book Ring is a cozy, bookish webring for readers, writers, and literary dreamers. Each member site is a unique window into someone’s personal library; be it filled with reviews, writing projects, fanfiction, or musings on favorite genres. It’s like getting to know people through their shelves, and it’s a warm invitation to wander from one book-loving site to the next.
The ring is part of a larger online library space and includes little snapshots of what members are currently reading, which makes discovering new titles extra fun. Whether you’re a fantasy lover, a historical fiction nerd, or just someone who enjoys curling up with a good story, The Book Ring is a comforting place to connect with fellow bibliophiles.

Question for those who use #screenreaders (specifically #nvda with Firefox). How do you get the screenreader to announce the Firefox developer tools? All I seem to get is "Developer Tools frame, Inspector Panel frame, Markup View frame" and no announcement of the actual HTML displayed in the Inspector panel.
Navigating with the keyboard (arrow keys) doesn't announce anything either, nor does NVDA + arrow keys.
Retoots would be appreciated!
