OP here, glad you all enjoyed the article :-) would love to know how yous customising your browsers.

You can also write simply for the fun of writing. Writing in itself is the objective, enjoy the process.

Universal in Apple terms means the binaries run on both Apple Silicon (ARM) and x64. It is mostly something that macOS users need to know.

From the linked website: Universal app Tapestry has native support for both iOS and iPadOS

Someone doesn't really need a reason to build something besides that they want to build it. I built many RSS readers and I was not trying to revolutionise anything, I was just having fun. This mindset of "revolution" and "disruption" will block you from actually just doing the things you want sometimes.


I guess it depends on the goal. If you just want to build things then you don’t need anyone’s permission, but if you want people to use it or to make a living off it, it’s important to know why people would use what you’re building.


One of my soapboxes is that the world is full of really smart people trying to solve solved problems for the sake of having done something that feels like something. I advocate for people taking that creative energy and pointing it at partially/poorly/un- solved problems.

If that's developing to offer (OP in particualrly said their friend would soon be offering a new service) an RSS Reader because there's something to actually innovate and more fully solve a problem, then it's great. Otherwise, it's just fodder for AdWords and Facebook when they eventually try to build acquisition for a business around it.


Really liked that post, then again Lua is one of my favourite languages.

I wrote this post https://andregarzia.com/2021/01/lua-a-misunderstood-language... some time ago and it kinda touches similar points as the OP. Read on if any of yous want to see yet another person talking about Lua.


I am writing a feed reader and I saved their posts about it to use as my implementation guidelines, got them printed and stuff.


EPUB has lots of nuances beyond the XHTML files. There's the structure of the folders, lots of XML files, how to name, link, and namespace things. It is not as straightforward and zipping a bunch of XHTML files.


I have it. The bezels make it easier to hold. I like them, never understood the appeal of borderless devices to be honest


Dinosaurs have been a mozilla thing since before Firefox and Chromium existed, the whole brand was build around a dinosaur before Firefox.


Maybe masks when watching a session might be a good idea.
