skyfall

hey there, I’m skyfall, a software dev making cool things with computers! in the past, I’ve built a disposable email service (vortex.skyfall.dev), a fantasy os for the web (phantom.skyfall.dev), a shop tracker for @hackclub.com, and a ton of other cool stuff on my GitHub: github.com/SkyfallWasTa...

@phfox.net what's the usage policy for Vanilla 4 icons? (more specifically, are you allowed to use the icons for websites you're building?)

"make no mistakes" negative, unrealistic, anxiety inducing, process focused "do a breakthrough" positive, incredible, aspirational, goal oriented

claude would probably have a lot more market share if they actually let you use claude sonnet and have more than 5 messages/day on the free plan

Svelte dropped this update the day after I ran into an issue with stores :D

this was a harrowing read, but also one that is definitely worth your time: www.esquire.com/news-politic...

WordPress must stop blocking WP Engine, judge rules

the fact that gen.xyz makes you pay extra to not get doxxed by whois is something, that's for sure

turso.tech/blog/introdu... the big thing that interests me here is the async io 👀

This is a huge undertaking, but I'm all for competition! Let them cook! turso.tech/blog/introdu...

i've been trying to reverse engineer Google Find My Device, and it's been, uh, painful :/ since they use both gRPC and Protobuf, seem to be base64-ing protobuf blobs (??) within the json grpc, and I don't have a schema..

exactly! typescript has genuinely saved so much time for me - if it didn't exist, I probably would've given up web dev altogether

i forgot to add github releases to my project... which is a github release cli...

So uh, hawk tuah coin rugpulled. 💀

I just completed "Mull It Over" - Day 3 - Advent of Code 2024 #AdventOfCode adventofcode.com/2024/day/3 my input parser is a bit... verbose so to speak, but everything else looks good!

I've completed "Red-Nosed Reports" - Day 2 - Advent of Code 2024 #AdventOfCode adventofcode.com/2024/day/2 The code isn't amazing and could probably be faster (around 300 microseconds rn, but I'm aiming for ~100), but it works! github.com/SkyfallWasTa...

it's update time! - completed day 1 of #adventofcode - wrote a small blog post for my new site - and got 220 visits!! - tried to learn dijkstra's algorithm - did some hackathon planning (zenithhacks.org) - added a drafts system to my blog (skyfall.dev) - fixed contact link page

Just wrote a new blog post! skyfall.dev/posts/satori... #tailwind #satori #writing :)

windows 11 setup is genuinely so bad "do you want microsoft 365 pro?" "do you want microsoft 365 basic?" "sign in to a microsoft account!" "can we use your location for ads?" "can we send your ink data to microsoft?"
