I've been meaning to write a follow-up article, but unfortunately writing is low on the priority list. The main reason is that these days, when I _am_ coding, I mostly write TypeScript and React on my local machine (not much SSH these days), and VS Code Just Works™. I tried twice to get neovim and LSP stuff working but never could, and I can't justify spending time twiddling my editor these days. And as much as I love the terminal, using multiple font sizes lets me fit more information on the screen.

(Also, I lost all the great comments on my blog somehow, so sorry to those who left them. I had Commento running for a while but it appears to be abandoned. Disqus has them but I refuse to use Disqus anymore because it's awful.)

I feel like Postgres would make this even more powerful.

If you think it's useful, let me know.

It started as a simple nginx URL map since I was already running nginx (https://gist.github.com/statico/14fa84d7e79722031d5e49694191...) but is now a tiny containerized app because friends requested an index page. The requirement is that all links need to be named (i.e. no random hashes).

(* = Well, it was easy, but I feel like this ESM business now means npm/yarn install doesn't Just Work™ in some cases.)

It’s a retro experience with a text adventure game. I wrote it to prove to myself that I kinda knew WebGL after shutting down our browser gaming startup.

Only one person has beaten the game. Most don’t make it inside the building. Guess I’m not a great game designer ;)

The one thing holding me back from declaring that all new companies should use Notion for everything is the text editing. Doing any kind of long-form content, such as blog posts or design docs or technical documentation, is arduous and painful. The editor is usable but clunky. Editing links, selecting text, and using formatting shortcuts is wonky. Joining paragraphs is hard. If they can make editing more fluid, it might just be the perfect information organization tool.
