I've been working on Nomie 6, here's where I'm at

#TIL:Gutenberg's recent update added Display Conditions to blocks based on Browser, device size, user role, and OS. 👐 AWESOME!

#TILabout Headless UI, a set of “unstyled” UI components by the Tailwind crew. Currently works with React and Vue https://headlessui.dev/#dev#ui

#TIL:You can run hosted versions of #SQLitein the browser while only downloading what's needed for the query (thanks to WebAssembly and Phiresky) https://phiresky.github.io/blog/2021/hosting-sqlite-databases-on-github-pages/

Sadly, Stacks (formerly Blockstack) has decided to sunset their Browser based Auth - which means #Nomiewill no longer be able to use it for storing data. Users should export their data (settings/data/generate backup), and then switch to Nomie’s Local Storage option and import the backup file.

Early yesterday morning, someone slid into a pole outside our neighborhood - killing the internet. I'll be in low-data mode for the foreseeable future.

Last week I asked r/nomie if they had any questions, and that I’d answer them on a podcast. I got a lot of great questions, and will answer them one-by-one, in hopes of forcing myself to #podcastmore. In episode 24 I talk about a massive #nomie6 setback, and answer “How long have you been a developer?”

If you can burn $5/$10 a day - setting up recurring purchasing on Coinbase (or any other crypto exchange) for BTC, ETH, LTC is a great way to participate (gamble) in the crypto world without constantly stressing about the ups and downs.

Nomie 6 development has begun! I’m not much of a planner with Nomie, instead I just serendipitously follow the flow. Every so often the flow leads me to build something that I don’t see initially as the next version, but ultimately becomes the next version.

Researchers identify “victim hood” as a new personality construct Do you have “an ongoing feeling that the self is a victim”? Then you might have Tendency for Interpersonal Victimhood (TIV)! https://www.psypost.org/2020/12/researchers-identify-a-new-personality-construct-that-describes-the-tendency-to-see-oneself-as-a-victim-58753

I love this part. Currently kicking around new design ideas for Nomie 6, during Lunch, at home, in the Sun. Life is good.

Do you use #nomie?Since it's private, I have no clue how you use it. These surveys help me get a generalized idea - while still respecting your privacy. https://forms.gle/iiHN8eCcLZ8ZP7My6

I've been a fan of TailWindCSS for a while, but now that I have it properly setup in my build pipeline, I'm a RAVING FAN - absolutely love it. Here's a quick tutorial on how to use it https://themesberg.com/blog/tailwind-css/tutorial#ux#dev

The React based #nomiesite wouldn't build, so I rebuilt it with Nuxt and Tailwind, and I couldn't be happier. Honestly, if I could just do Vue and Svelte, I'd never touch React again. https://nuxtjs.orghttps://TailwindCSS.comhttps://nomie.app#dev

This ad ran in Iceland, during prime time. While shocking, it will absolutely give you a dose of body positivity. I wonder what the ramifications are of America’s obsession in repressing it and continually associating nudity with sexuality. #nsfw

I finally got a new keyboard for my 2017 iPad Pro, as my official Apple one died last year. The Zagg Slim Book, is amazing for only $37 bucks. The keyboard has travel, it’s fast and responsive. Only downside - it was made for the 2019 iPad Pro. 🤦‍♂️

I'm going to be adding the ability to have a post published or not. This should be hidden from view until I specifically say it's published.

Tonight I built an action sheet so I can work on the basics of subscribing. Email, Notifications, or RSS feed will be the 3 options.

As the workday wraps up, I really should be working on the Nomie 5.5 release. But, instead I’m obsessing over this whole trying to build a siloed social experience that can satiate enough to leave Facebook and Twitter for good.
