I've been building a Facebook Events style event organizing system for the Fediverse. It's based on the simple, open source, privacy-respecting event organizing tool gath.io

The attached video is a work-in-progress preview and shows compatibility with Mastodon. My hope is to get it working with lots of software, including stuff like Friendica that supports events and calendars.

I finished my stint as a Mozilla Fellow and now I'm relaunching my Patreon with a focus on, well, fixing social media.

This means I'm going to continue my concerted work trying to make the fediverse a better place, in the form of best practice guides for running instances, external advocacy, and technical tutorials and training so that more people can contribute software to the fediverse at large.

You can read a partial summary of my work so far at my new Patreon page!

Food 

Recently realized that "American cheese", as in the processed cheese you find on McDonald's burgers, is best conceived of as a cheese sauce that comes in convenient slices.

This is your regular reminder that Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure part 4: Diamond is Unbreakable is coming to Netflix later this month. You have approximately 3 weeks to wrap up any remaining chores or projects and lay in supplies before having your shit rocked. ⚓️💜✋💚☮️

In my ongoing quest for simple React setups, this article is mind blowingly good:

kentcdodds.com/blog/super-simp

It explains how to set up a react app with just HTML and JS files, no webpack or browserify or anything. It is fully a toy implementation BUT it helped me understand a lot of the "magic" underlying React in a way that I never had before. It even shows how to write JSX embedded in the HTML file (by including Babel in a script tag).

I have just launched a website inspired by pronoun.is for Spanish speakers:

https://prono.mbre.es/

I deployed using Hugo, GitHub and Netlify. Quite simple to set up and much easier to edit than plain HTML. I hope people like it ❤️

Wow I love this: today is the launch of the e. e. cummings free poetry archive! A project that shows what we can do when works enter the public domain.

Food-related project 

@darius I took a pass at trying to generate the list of sandwiches using a live Wikidata query.

The descriptions aren't as good (yet). But there are images!

I made a little site that suggests a random sandwich for you to eat from Wikipedia's list of notable sandwiches.
