  • I’ve just been browsing through the Apple News app for the first time, first thing is that there is no linking to any articles across the web, which is for me a massive negative, however it’s immediately apparent one huge benefit, there are no annoying pop-ups / consent forms, none, zero, it’s quite something, after months stop/start/interuptions, it’s a bit like gliding on a cushion of air, also they’ve figured out that I like tech and there’s an entire tech section with lots of good content from a lot of the sites I read anyway, but no linking
  • Also I’ve updated the links on the podcasts page to be the file page in archive.org as I haven’t had time to create nice looking post pages yet, their file pages are actually kind of cool because you see a visual of the audio signal similar to on Soundcloud
  • I’ve added an “Listen on Apple Podcasts” image link below each day on the podcasts page so you can add the podcast in a just couple of clicks!
  • Cloudinary is famous for great image hosting, but it’s also really useful for simple things like resizing images
