How do people who write a lot of code keep track of stuff they plan to write but haven’t? Just curious. I usually write #TODO and then whatever. Often a placeholder function or something. Seems messy tho

Recursive Drawing is really fun to play with. You can make spirally-looking things like

and

(which is a minor variation that looks more feathery). Or you can make more organic looking shapes like

or

This tool was a student’s degree project and doesn’t have all the bells and whistles you’d expect from a mature drawing program, but the one thing it does well, the recursive drawing, is super cool.

(#r6icgfq) @prologic@twtxt.net I saw a release announcement for gum, which looks like a great way to add interactivity to shell scripts.

Much as I’d love to help, I have my hands full right now! Job+kids takes up 200% of my time! I’ve been meaning to play with salty chat just to see how it looks but so far I haven’t even had time to do that!

(#r6icgfq) it’s nice that you can self host the charm cloud part of it. Even though they say they end-to-end encrypt anything sent to or stored on their servers, and even though I mostly believe that, there’s no way to verify. Reading the source code is not verification because there are no guarantees that what’s running on their servers matches what’s in the source code. So, it’s safest to self host, and I’m glad they provide that option.
