sleep $(echo "2 * 60" | bc) && say "remove tea bag"

when you've been asked to say a timer to remove the tea bag and you are working and beeing too lazy to look for your phone

Right now is the best time to call customer support! Most people are watching the Super Bowl! And then go to your groceries at an empty Costco

I've been playing around with @zero.rocicorp.dev ! The data management is so easy that I can spend time polishing the UI with nice little effect 🤩

Reading Notes, February 2024 | ben.oertel Talking about tech and what I encounter on the Web.

yes, I really like the "blogmark" concept. I've been trying to find a good way to track my Internet readings: ben.oertel.fr/reading-note... I gave up on monthly notes, it was too cumbersome: I just want to read the article, take notes, and publish! I did get lost in fika to create a blogmark

that brick icon 🤩

@paoramen.com Your bookmark feed on fika.bar is crazy, it really matches my interest and for most of the items, I'm thinking: "I would have click on this article too" :D I'm not sure if you are already aware but the blogmark contains an 'undefined' which breaks the links!

v4 is out for @tailwindcss.com! The update I'm looking forward to is to be able to find the colors page quickly 🤣

I didn't pay attention that the rankings sync broke since Charlie arrived to Les Sables d'Olonne ! But it is fixed now

back into my most consistent side project: my RSS reader ! The database crashed over New Year, not sure why but at least after a restart, it is way faster!
Also added a query to show interval between entries for feeds. This is for my blog, I'll be below 30 for 2025 !

I agree! I had to implement a subset of this component on a none Next.js stack and it makes you appreciate what it does.

Maybe end of the year fatigue: "cool another AI model, I'll check that out in 2025"

I also found myself loosing which video I'm at so added a little button to help me

Slow progress but added rankings when playing a video. It is hard to make it work for desktop/tablet/mobile but I found a good compromise.

We are moving to this format for small projects as well. We spent too much time helping them setting up or getting access to accounts, and then always some random maintenance or questions around their infra.

🤯 now sqlite native in the browser, not through wasm but like localStorage/indexedb !

and next I'm going to focus on the layout, especially on the video, it is optimized for mobile but it can be improve on tablet and desktop.

Video from November 18

Finally showing the skipper position on a globe when playing the video. It is more or less since we don't know when the videos were recorded but it is probably accurate enough -/+ 24 hours. #vendeeglobe

also this carousel has been a pain since the beginning, I'm thinking of using the flags + tabs/scroll

Not my best F1 season but it was a fun journey code-wise! I migrated everything to run on @cloudflare.social: Pages, Workers, and D1. 3 months to add a few features: tweak scoring, and/or add logged out experience!

While skippers are entering the Indian Ocean, the F1 season is wrapping up and after running motp.oertel.fr for 3 years now, it is time to add a little surprise at the end of the season. Recharts makes it so easy! I'm the green line, great start but not doing well since Silverstone! #recharts #f1

The trick was a border top and left on the rounded element, then 45deg rotation on the container, and a -45deg on the arrow

also pretty fun animation which was needed for smaller/tiny screens

I missed Louis Burton retiring from the race, I only learned when watching Sam's video. So I added a little section if a skipper retired in the last 24 hours! Perks of building your own tool

is there a way to tell: "don't bother, I'm not running wordpress on this server" ?

Enjoying my Friday off to work on the next feature for onboard-videos.com. Now that we have the historical data we can show it on a map ! I haven't use d3js.org for years but it is playing nice with react now

Evening feature for onboard-videos.com Rankings! First pass at it anyway, I'm aiming to add changes in the last 24 hours. Also it was to get the mechanism to get data, and now we can start playing around with it...🌍 #vendeeglobe

I actually got a domain for it: onboard-videos.com

yes, please feel free to spread the word :D Happy to hear if there are anything I could improve too!

it is finally ready to be shared after the race started 2 weeks ago: onboard-videos.boertel.workers.dev a website to follow Vendée Globe videos of skippers. It keeps track (on your browser) on what you've watched ! Let's see how many features I add until the end of the race #vendeeglobe
