I think I will utilize Scribbles as a dev blog. More to come soon...

• 🐛 Fixed an issue when a double <br> would appear in the content, but was meant to break into a new paragraph. • 👾 Tweaked some font weights, sizes and layout on public facing post pages. 

I'm enjoying discovering and reading other blogs on the Scribbles platform Explore Blogs and Posts page. I know I could add some of these to my RSS reader, but I think it would be cool if it were possible to follow other Scribblers from my account.

Fun week so far. I encountered a weird bug with useSession hook in react-auth and now I try to implement Lemon Squeezy in my new app. Love it! :)

I wish I had some clever predictions for Apple”s iPad event happening in a few hours but I don’t. Perhaps I’m just tired of waiting for Apple to free the iPad of its limitations. Maybe they’ll release something amazing that finally sets the iPad free but I’m not holding my breath.

• 🐛 Fixed an issue, when the pager navigation is shown on the archives page, when a disabled button appeared clickable. Wow, what a weird sentence...

🇯🇵 Instant Nippon. Just add water.

• 🐛 Fixed an issue when you set alt text on an image and it wasn't showing on the feed. Also now shows (on the image element) when you use "expanded posts" on the homepage.

Began testing out Raycast this week and wrote my first script for it last night. Just a simple one to add reminders to Dueapp. Just a few more things to migrate and I’ll be able to see if I can move to this from Alfred.

Writing this down for posterity. My one prediction for Apple's A.I. offering(s) during WWDC this year will be branding their A.I. as "Apple Intelligence".  It would be a missed opportunity if they don't. I also feel they need to put the Siri brand to rest.

I sometimes wonder why I always carry a pocket knife then the dog goes and gets his head stuck in a soccer goal net and I need to cut him loose. 

The zeptocore is a handmade, handheld sample player/synth from the folks at infinite digits. Kinda like a Teenage Engineering PO-33 but MOAR! Available assembled or as a DIY kit. Check out their webpage for more info.

What's nice about TailwindCSS is that you can inspect a site like Scribbles and borrow a few things you like :-)

• 🚀 Added experimental support for adding proper "alt" text to images in the editor. An "Alt" button will appear at the top right of an image. It'll display a tick ✅ within if you have one set. You can still use a caption in addition to alt text. If no alt text is set, and you have a caption, it'll use that instead (as previously). • 👾 Tweaked the public category page to now also bring across a meta description if you have a description set for it.

👋 Hello, world. Hello, Scribbles.
