I’m a web developer and amateur wildlife photographer. I wanted a place for my own photographs that looked good without requiring me to design and maintain an entire website.

The platforms I tried often gave me either a very open-ended website builder or a product centered on selling, licensing, or client delivery. I wanted something narrower: choose the photographs, arrange them into galleries, and publish a portfolio where the presentation stays out of the way.

So I built ISO100: https://iso100.app

You can adjust typography, spacing, image proportions, covers, and photo sequences without arranging every page element yourself. Individual galleries have direct links, and crop focus controls help preserve the important part of a photograph across different layouts and screen sizes.

ISO100 is for committed amateurs as well as professionals. There’s a generous free plan, while the paid plan adds more capacity, custom domains, custom favicons, and the option to remove ISO100 branding completely.

It’s developing quickly, and I’d especially value feedback from photographers, or anyone who has built or maintained a photography portfolio. What matters most to you when presenting a body of photographs online, and where do existing tools get in your way?

Hi everyone, I’ve been working on an iOS app for Pente and wanted to share it here.

For anyone new to it, Pente is an abstract strategy game where you win by getting five stones in a row or by capturing five pairs of your opponent’s stones.

The app is called Pente Go. You can play:

  * Online against friends or other players
  * Local pass-and-play
  * Single-player against AI
  * Classic or tournament opening rules
  * Leaderboard and basic stats
I’d appreciate any feedback, especially from people who play Pente, Go, Gomoku, or other abstract strategy games.

I created this browser extension to solve a personal annoyance. It automatically removes obnoxious prompts on websites that interrupt your reading, like prompts to sign up or enter your email address, overlays with discount offers, pointless GDPR and cookie consent banners, etc.

It's in early development and doesn't work on most websites, yet. The aim is to build up a comprehensive set of rules over time to block modals anywhere. Creating your definitions is easy and can be done from within the extension. The project is open-source and I'm looking for contributors!

Nice! Managed to shave off a couple of bytes:

  setInterval("l=loopTapApp;b=l.getBallAngle();[a,c]=l.arc;b+6>a&b-6<c&&l.tap(new Event(1))")

The CloudFront savings add up to about $100/mo. Still pretty negligible.

True. Not the same thing but an equally disastrous outcome.
