I was floored to find out recently that the web interface for iCloud (iCloud.com) has no way to edit a spreadsheet in-browser. I thought for sure they’d have browser based Numbers at this point, but nope! I think if they haven’t done this yet it ain’t gonna happen.

Thanks, I loved this article, time to re-read it again!

For anyone who wants to know more about the early history of undersea cables, I also enjoyed ‘A Thread Across the Ocean’ by John Steele Gordon.

Basically! Is heart rate recorded to a Pebble specific app, or can it be synced with things like Apple Health?

I guess the one other feature I like of the Apple Watch is the rings/daily fitness goals functionality. I'll have to look into the Pebble more to see if that's possible. I also like the background monitoring features the Watch has (hypertension, etc.), but I'm assuming that's a little too much for the Pebble.

I wish someone would take all the Fitness sensors of the Apple Watch, and put it in something with a simple e-ink display like these Pebble devices. I don’t care about apps, I just want a thing that measures my heart rate, notifies me if I get a call or text, has more than a couple days of battery life, and that’s it.

Isn’t this basically Apple News? It would be great if you could select your local news source, and it funneled part of your subscription their way.

Having worked in this space from the publisher side for a bit, I can tell you that many paywall vendors tried the micro transaction approach, and the friction level was just too high for it to ever catch on at the scale needed to sustain a business. Definitely too much for a local newspaper or tv station site, the juice was never worth the squeeze.

Yeah, you could also say "Most men die between 30 and 90".

Is WPEngine actually the biggest Wordpress host? I'd have bet that GoDaddy had more, or maybe even BlueHost/HostGator/EIG.

I maintain that the Wordpress.com confusion has done more harm than good for Wordpress as a platform over the years. I really wish Automattic had chosen any other branding.

Dang, hadn't thought about Shogo since playing a demo a loooong time ago. Thanks for triggering a good memory!

I'm glad it's not completely dead too! It'll be interesting to see if Static JS CMS continues to gain steam, or if folks continue with Decap.

I've always found the rush to the headless CMS to be a bit baffling, and strongly developer focused while forgetting most users. How are folks actually writing the content, are they just writing markdown by hand? I understand decoupling management of content from presentation, but the lack of options for editing was always confusing to me. Glad that now we'll have at least two good fully open source options.

This is a great list! Hadn’t heard of cms.js before, looks interesting.

I wonder what the dividing line between ‘blog’ and ‘framework’ was? I was surprised to see 11ty and Jekyll under blog, instead of down with Gatsby and Hugo under Framework.
