On writing some blog posts about things I’ve built lately (both at work and in my own time). Helps a lot with diving more deeply into topics than what’s reasonable for a “just needs to work” implementation.
Recently, a fairly detailed one on doing something semi-obscure with directory services on AWS. https://excessivelyadequate.com/posts/sadwsp.html

I’ve been using https://github.com/samschott/maestral instead of Dropbox’s client for the last year or so and it’s been rock-solid.

Since everyone's sharing their implementation of "slides, but written in Markdown", here's mine: https://github.com/doersino/markdeep-slides
It's perhaps unique in that it doesn't require any sort of build process – inheriting its approach from Markdeep (https://casual-effects.com/markdeep/), it's just an HTML file (containing your Markdown content and a few <script> tags at the bottom) and a bit of JS/CSS.

> I love the choice of keeping the symbols opaque - it makes it easier to use in a funny way.
That's precisely what I was going for (plus, it's impossible to find descriptive icons for most of these options, and a wall of text below each option might lead to excessive scroll wheel wear).
> I’m very surprised to not see it on the front page! Have you posted this to /r/internetisbeautiful?
Getting to the front page is a coin flip – you win some, you lose some. But perhaps I'll submit it to the second chance pool [1]. And no, I've mostly weaned myself off Reddit, but you're right, that sounds like a good place to gather some additional feedback. I've just posted UJI there [2].
> Honestly this is wonderful and I hope to use it to introduce some creative coding concepts when teaching
I'm so glad to hear this! :)

Hiya! I've made this thing over the past week or so. It's deliberately weird!
The tiled buttons at the top are presets – use them as jumping-off points, or click your way through them to see what's possible before starting afresh by yourself. The sliders control all aspects of the generated images. Hover over the icons next to them (which feature glyphs from Imperial Aramaic and Phoenician) for descriptions of what each slider does.
Feel free to leave links to pieces you've made in this thread – I'd love to see what you come up with.
