His Omegle 100[0] video is one of the best one yet, Harry is a legend. [0]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ijVGIcVRIbk


There's an interesting progression watching him over time. While his technical ability has dramatically improved, so too has the engagement. Now you start to get more clips of people saying "Wait. I've seen you on Youtube/TikTok". Love his journey.


Definitely, it's been a crazy and inspiring journey. I'm kind of bummed it's coming to an end, it was my favorite series of his.


Looks like it is, yes. A couple hours ago I was getting an error here and there, but now it doesn't load anything at all.


That's good to know. And how did the upgrade from 2.x projects go? I have got a couple of projects I want to migrate, but haven't started yet.


I personally like to use https://iconsvg.xyz/, which not only lets you pick the icon, but it also allows you to customize it.


I also gave Firefox another shot a couple months ago and I'm surprised at how much better it is nowadays. It's been such a good experience I'm also giving a go to the Firefox Preview[0] on my Android - even though it's still under heavy development, I like some of the changes to the mobile browser it makes and it'll make in a near future.

Firefox is definitely an amazing experience, especially if you use Firefox Containers[1]. My only gripe is that the UX of containers isn't quite ready for prime time yet (e.g. your container setup doesn't sync by default).

And there really needs to be an easy way to switch profiles. Firefox has had profiles for basically forever, but it's much easier to switch profiles in Chrome.

One thing that might make it easier for you that you might not know about: about:profiles


I currently go to about:profiles and click "open this profile in a new window", but this is very klutzy compared to Chrome's profile switcher next to the URL bar.

Of course you can also create launchers/shortcuts for Firefox with "firefox -P profilename" but again that's work you have to do on each machine you use.


A classic solution is just one shortcut of `firefox -no-remote -ProfileManager` which semi-replicates one of the old Netscape-feeling behaviors in that such a shortcut will always create a new instance of Firefox and first launch the select profile window.


Firefox preview is fantastic. I started using it expecting a very unstable experience and... it hasn't been.

For me its been fantastic.


Agree!

The only thing I missed from the ordinary Firefox on Android was that Firefox used to have a brilliant hack with the sharing option where they would show the two most frequently used options (+ a sharing button to access the rest) instead of just one or just the sharing button.

This saved me a few seconds again and again and again.

Wonder why no one else does that?


Yeah, the sharing button thing is something I miss from the ordinary Firefox too. I usually share links with my friends through Whatsapp and its icon is hidden far to the right.


Lately I have been using color.adobe[0] or palx[1] a lot.

kuler.adobe.com is only similar if you mean the parent should be browsing the community themes, otherwise it's more like a color picker with optional constraints based on color theory (which are great starting points but won't really guide you to the finish line)

the second link has way too many colors to really be useful


I believe the parent meant people literally doping in the parking lot space.


Another one, even though it's not about Alex per se, but about Brad Gobright (another great climber who loves to free solo) I'd recommend watching "Safety Third". It's on vimeo[0] if anyone is interested.

Are you using Svelte for SPAs? If so, what are you using for routing?


I use Svelte with Sapper, which takes care of routing for me. From the FAQ:

> Is there a router?

> You can use any router lib you want. A lot of people use page.js. There's also navaid, which is very similar. If you prefer a declarative HTML approach, there's svero and svelte-routing.

> If you need hash-based routing on the client side, check out svelte-spa-router, or abstract-state-router, a mature router for business software.

> For an official solution, there's nothing that's simply a routing library. There is, however, the official Sapper framework, a Next.js-style application framework built on Svelte, which includes its own filesystem-based routing.


I use Svero. Sapper is alpha and still in flux - I'll check out Sapper again once it's stable though.


Pretty much when I finished reading it I got the news that my old dog had died. We were kind of waiting for it already, but it still hurts.

The article timing couldn't be better. Definitely a touching piece.
