Founder Weekly post for software creatives:
@beflagrant.com on your new case study for Contributed Systems (nice work!), the Visit link isn't clickable on desktop widths (overlay on top, blocking?)
We were sold on the idea that learning is a solo thing. Today I'm launching ReadWith, my pushback on that. I had been yearning to read deeply with others, and the app allowed this with a new mechanism: Others' notes appear as you add your own, free from spoilers. More below...
Tell me if I'm wrong, but I think Nusii is probably the kind of software that's a quality of life improvement over duck-taping a process manually. If true, then a before-and-after right at the top would make your pitch clear. Like Intercom's OG page:
That's not quite how the spine of a hardcover book is supposed to be modelled
Any of you like this effect? 1. Hitting "Rearrange" on the book page 2. Enable MagLev 😂
I'm going to lead the next cohort of the rails.builders accountability group, taking over from Rich Steinmetz. Starts this Thursday Feb 12, until May 7. DM me if interested.
Is Eragon the last sequel in the Aragon series? Aragon Bragon Cragon Dragon Eragon
1. I consider myself in the camp Justin describes here in the screenshot. 2. I dont concretely know how else to use this edge than by creating products and sell them. I would not join an established company by offering this mix of skills. Why would I? Why would they hire me? I don’t understand.
More like it. The original one was funky, this one is plain, clean, and obvious. But... I like this one a little less, for some reason.
Just dug up an old design for a site a buddy of mine and I were working on in 2001
Ever wonder how in Star Trek, nobody’s on their PADD, doom scrolling? It’s a loaded question, because it’s a show. I wonder, because I think it might have something to do with the adventure they’re on, and the discipline and the hurry to make it happen. You made it through the Academy!
Anybody have any idea what to do to fix bottom sticky elements in iOS Safari 26? I'd like to either hide whatever comes after this bottom sticky bar (it doesn't scroll behind Safari's new liquid bar), or position it to the absolute bottom (below the new liquid bar) safe-area-inset-bottom is no use
Putting the whole computer board in the bump, the antenna, everything... ...that must have been a fun set of eureka moments for the designers #AppleEvent
You know, y'all who are trashing Safari... How is it the hanging-punctuation is like this in 2025? What's going on, Internet? caniuse.com?search=hangi...
Fun! You get a lot for free with Turbo Frames. The Cancel link targets the right data-turbo-frame and boom.
RE: View Transitions and Turbo... Anybody run into this problem? In Chrome, the view transition gets skipped from a Turbo Frame render. Works in Safari.
Was just at a local accelerator hub (Invest Ottawa) for an event, and look at what I found: A "Take a Book" bookshelf of entrepreneurial titles. So I took one that had a double: "Onward", about Starbucks' CEO. And look at the Montreal Entrepreneur's Guide from early 2000s!
Today hitting "deploy" on a small step with ReadWith that's been long in the making: If you're in the beta: Look for the "Invite others to read with you" link. If you're interested in joining the beta, hit me up, I'll add a few spots.
Today I'm sending out updates to friends with whom I've been reading books with my ReadWith app. The new version of ReadWith is redesigned, adds a way to discover other friends whose book reading notes I've vouched for. Looking forward to hear people's feedback.
Currently Reading... A couple of these pair well with each other. I like reading a couple books at the same time, on a similar subject.
Curious for your take: What does this screen tell you, in a book club app?
