@RoamResearch

have a new conspiracy theory that @RoamResearch has a weird scary logo and spinner because it is scared of mass adoption and subconsciously feels the need to repel those who might want to check it out

same energy (russians will know)

i feel like there is some obvious explanation for what it means that everybody understands but i’m too late to the game and at this point i’m too embarrassed to not know or vibe with it to find out

i mean it actually *is* same energy, the guy on the right isn’t supposed to be scary either, this is actually meant to be Guo Xiang (who’s known for editing Zhuangzi!)

anyway, hope nobody takes this as a bad gesture, i find roam immensely (even though i don’t use any features) just for the tree view, but making the spinner aesthetically pleasant would bump my enjoyment by at least 200%. thanks

*immensely helpful

can’t wait for nfts to be green so that i can grift ethically

i’ll sell redux and buy a fukken house

the most annoying thing is that nfts make total sense to me. artificial scarcity is silly but there is no real content there. so it’s not like that wu-tang album. people who want to pay for air deserve to have their money redistributed. safe sane and consensual. just make it eco!

doing another Russian lyrics translation today! this song is called A Boy. it reminds me of Mr. Tambourine Man in a lot of ways, i wonder if you’ll notice the similarities too!

some thoughts on tailwind after using it for a few weeks on a project. i didn’t personally pick it (i use whatever’s already there) and it was a bit difficult to adjust to at first. however i actually really enjoy it now. here’s what i like/dislike

rampup time: the first week was absolutely brutal. i felt so slow. i couldn’t understand any of the abbreviations and had to always have tailwindcss.com open to look them up. luckily the docs are actually really good, and in a week i memorized the most common ones.

so why do i say i like it? there’s a few things. the more obvious ones:

- enforced consistency: spacing, colors, sizes, nice to have that be in one place.
- low-level: i already have components, don’t need “more involved” framework stuff
- tailwindcss.com/docs/flex taught me flex
