I wrote 500 words yesterday but the calendar date is still blue... any chance you can take a look @nickagliano? The text appears when I click on the date.


I made a change which should hopefully fix any calendar date staying blue problems you were having. Let me know if that's not the case :)


Yes that worked!


What browser are you using?


This may be apocryphal but I've heard that "howdy" is essentially a contraction of "how do you do"

Edit: Yep: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Howdy


I've always assumed that "howdy" was a word from the vernacular of a small regional community in some random US location, that got promoted to mainstream English - individual words from dialects sometimes get picked up and adopted into "canonical" language.

Thanks! It currently does save and prefill URLs but you’re right, it’d be easy to hardcode the URL if you always want to use the same one.


Yeah this is what I wrote to receive the images: https://github.com/andrewpbrett/admin.andybrett.com


Oh, yes, sorry, I saw that.

But now I was thinking about a mobile app that you could run and get an URL, then your friend could share the image to your URL and you would get the image in your phone.

But I'm just throwing thoughts on the air.


Thanks for the kind words! That was definitely my intention with making this. It’s open source as well so let me know if you have any feedback or feel free to just fork/PR.


Oh, I have zero experience in iOS stuff. I would like to do something for Android, but my experience there is less than 1. Maybe I'll try something in the future, then I'll come back here.


I made this! More background here: https://andybrett.com/writing/send-as-post


Has anyone else had the experience of seeing almost zero ads on Instagram since they introduced them? I can count the number I've seen on one hand. I marked the first couple, right after they launched them, as not relevant (they weren't) and since then I think I've seen two, one in the feed and one in their Stories feature.


Spelling - it's John Maynard Keynes, not Keanes :)


Beeminder, as others have mentioned, handles #1 and #3 pretty well (minus the donation to the KKK part - the money for failing goes to Beeminder).

I built GTBee[1] using the Beeminder API which is pretty much #2. Again, the punitive thing is taking your money, starting at $5 and escalating from there.

This isn't to say that it wouldn't be a fun project to build things that do this though!
