Back in the day, Twitter used to be really good if I set up a thread to connect freelancers with clients. Let's see if Bluesky can do it.

Clients: if you're looking for freelancers/contractors, get in the comments

Freelancers/contractors: get in comments

Everyone else: boosts appreciated

Thank you!

KilianValkhof - Twitch Dutch web developer that builds Polypane.app, the browser for ambitious web developers

I'll be streaming for the first time later today at 2PM CET on twitch: www.twitch.tv/kilianvalkhof where I'll be switching out the color library for colorcontrast.app (as try-out for doing the same in Polypane to support all new color models)

Learning about UX (and being committed to good UX) ruins you.

Once you realize that user experience matters, you will notice terrible UX everywhere: in the checkout line, in urban design, at the airport, when interacting with govt services...

You can't unsee it. It's both a superpower and a curse.

At some point I'd like to open a shirts and stickers merch store for Polypane - The demand exists but I have trouble finding a good platform

- Doesn't overcharge on everything
- prints locally (at least US & EU)
- Happy to ship out stickers, want the platform to print + send shirts.

Who has tips?

There’s a ton of features in Polypane that you might not immediately need.

But down the line when you do need them, they are there and they’re just as powerful and useful as the rest of Polypane.

The sunset photo shows the silhouette of the trees and the church, the golden light mixing with the blue in the sky, and the moon hanging out.

Sunset chasing. I wanted to try and get the silhouette of the churches at sunset, but then the moon made an appearance, so the plan changed a bit.

It was bitterly cold though so the tripod came in very handy 😀

Reflections of the lights off the river.

When the sun goes down, the lights come on.

Night time around the harbour.

The lights and reflections caught my eye on my walk last night.

From last night's sunset, I was a bit late getting down to the river, very windy out there, but some lovely colours in the sky.

I just implemented a feature where clicking a context menu item while holding a modifier key has different behaviour.

All modifier keys are communicated on an OS level, so it's explicitly supported, but I've never seen other apps do this.

Anyone know of other apps using this pattern?
