I went to see my first football game in 20 years this evening, the Scotland vs Belgium Women's world cup qualifiers.
It was actually a great time and I got really into it!
I thought I didn't like football, I think actually I just don't like Men ('s football)

This month my project Async Alpine hit 4yrs old, and about the same time 200k downloads! 📈
It doesn't feel like long ago I went for a swim and had the idea for conditional component loading for Alpine.js and threw something together.
If you use Alpine.js check it out: https://async-alpine.dev

Another new blog post! 😁
This is about my experience with the Loop Switch 2 earplugs. Not dev-related, but still probably helpful to many people!
TLDR — I really like them, although their claim you can use them in conversation doesn't ring true for me.

@chris Haha yep! Yeah it's a great conference and I'm not just saying that because I'm in it! :P
I've attended the past few years and it's a good combo of design, dev, and other inspiring talks that are less directly related!

@chris Yes, "Ted" as in "Ted Theodore Logan" from the Bill & Ted movies, and "Hey" as in the wonderful dev+design organiser in Leeds!

New blog post! 🥳
It's about using Goatcounter for small projects as a simple and cheap analytics tool that's pretty good privacy-wise compared to other options.
This post has been sitting in my drafts since September last year. 😅

What a good read. I've had lots of thoughts about my relationship with technology and social media lately so this came at the perfect time.

@cory My favourite bit is definitely getting the plural of 'boxes' wrong with "innerboxs".
Feels fairly minor in comparison to the rest but really the cherry of top!
