Never trust a status page, exhibit 239: @proton.me is down

People are saying that AI coding is going to kill all SaaS. I don't think so! codemade.net/blog/death-o...

I had some weird 2d canvas issues with #Firefox on #Linux, where Firefox would always render a blank canvas. #Zen browser worked out of the box, so comparing flags led me to enable `layers.acceleration.force-enabled` and `gfx.webrender.all`. That fixed it 🎉

It took a reeally long time on and off but here is my _once Windows only_ clock app running on Linux! Partial transparency and everything 🥹 Windows Forms => @avaloniaui.net System.Drawing => SkiaSharp Still a bunch of things to port over, but getting something on screen feels great! #dotnet

finally got a visual novel style dialog thingy working for cutscenes 🍿 #gamedev #indiedev #indiegames

A bit late for #screenshotsaturday, but here's an update on my tower defense prototype :) #gamedev #indiedev #screenshotsunday

How do other indie devs deploy their web apps? I use a single VPS and Docker swarm but would be interested to see what the #indiedev hive mind thinks! #buildinpublic

Tower defense prototype in three.js. now to add the actual towers 😅 #screenshotsunday #buildinpublic #gamedev #indiedev

A POC of _that_ game using three.js #screenshotsaturday #buildinpublic #gamedev #indiedev

I used to dread this type of news, but since I switched to Linux full time I can only thank Microsoft for the free marketing

Probably not my wisest decision, but I really enjoyed spending a day writing this animation in pure #css for email-webhook.com

"As a solo maintainer, I need something manageable without breaking the bank." If that resonates with you, check out my blog post on how I deploy web apps in 2025 using Docker Swarm, GitHub Actions, and Caddy - all on a single VPS. codemade.net/blog/my-dock... #Docker #WebDev

it's the little things in life

🧪 Ever wondered how to write parameterised tests with #deno? Wonder no more! codemade.net/blog/paramet... #typescript #tdd

That feeling when you have a working pipeline for your personal project 🥹 #cicd #github-actions

Most of what we call "tech" is about getting the right information into a database and trying to prevent the wrong person from reading or updating it.

this but css grid

So I listened to the latest #coderradio and... I'm now a convert @dominucco.bsky.social!

shout out to #picocss for being the anti-tailwind that the world needs picocss.com

had an idea for a "fancy" loading animation with just 1 div in #css 🙂 The video quality is pretty bad btw, you should check it out on #codepen: codepen.io/codemade/pen...

🚀 Built a server-side rendered app in #Deno. 🛠️ Tried Handlebars (pain), EJS (meh), Fresh (almost), & nearly wrote my own framework 😬 ✅ #Hono saved the day—JSX support, lightweight, & just works. 🔗 Read more: codemade.net/blog/a-journ...

🔊 I added music and sound to my game, and I can't believe the difference it makes! It almost feels like a real game :) Try it at games.codemade.net/match-3/inde... #gamedev #IndieGameDev #indiegames #javascript

First thought after using #htmx: is this it?? Add a reference to the js, slap a couple of tags, and it... just... works?!?

Aspiring game developers hate this weird trick #gamedev

Can you run Docker on a Windows system that doesn't support virtualisation? Yes! with some help 😅 codemade.net/blog/docker-... #linux #docker

💣️ I wrote minesweeper in CSS, because why not 😅 games.codemade.net/sweep/index.... #gamedev #CSS #javascript #indiegames #IndieGameDev

Woke up this morning to docker on my machine replaced by the snap version. WTH?? #linux

🔊 I added music and sound to my game, and I can't believe the difference it makes! It almost feels like a real game :) Try it at games.codemade.net/match-3/inde... #gamedev #IndieGameDev #indiegames #javascript

There's so much more I want to do with it BUT it's in a playable enough state, so why not share it! The match-3 game is now live at games.codemade.net/match-3/inde... Best played on a mobile device, while sitting on a sofa and almost-watching TV 😄 #gamedev #indiegames #IndieGameDev

🍋 Deno Fresh looks great! Would love to hear from folks who have used it in production :) fresh.deno.dev #deno #preact #typescript

"Out of moves" dialog and animation for my match-3 game 🍿 #gamedev #css #typescript

me omw to rip FluentAssertions out of my repos now that they pulled a Moq and changed their license to paid. #dotnet #csharp

It took me a while to understand multi-stage docker builds (after all, why not build outside docker and package the result?), but now that I do, it kinda feels like a superpower
