My habit of keeping interesting things open in tabs on my mobile is still WAY out of hand. So I’m challenging myself to blog them as I close them down. 10 a day. This is part 11. You can call it part 2 of season 2 if you like.
1. Setting up new developers for success: blog edition – Marijke Luttekes
This is for the reading list. Seems like a good article on mentoring new developers.
2. Antidepressants or Tolkien
https://antidepressantsortolkien.vercel.app
A ridiculous, and quite difficult game.
3. Blockly Games
Simple programming games for kids.
4. HyruleGuessr
GeoGuessr, but for Breath of the Wild.
5. Zine Arranger
https://nashhigh.itch.io/zinearranger
Convert a multi-page PDF into a zine! This is a really excellent tool and once I’ve been using a lot with Wizard Zines and Paper Apps.
6. Populous Manual
https://retro-commodore.eu/files/downloads/amigamanuals-xiik.net/Games/Popolous%20-%20Manual-ENG.pdf
As part of my Retro Gaming Mid-Life Crisis I have found a way to play Populous, but it’s not an intuitive game; the manual is needed!
7. wordly
An acquaintance of mine, Dan Maby, made a fun word game/puzzle!
8. Colossi

John Rudolph Drexler (of Thunk.dev fame in the Laravel World) makes games. They’re supposed to be quite good.
9. Tips and Tricks for Bluesky Search
https://bsky.social/about/blog/05-31-2024-search
Bluesky is taking over from Twitter/X. Learn how to search well!
10. scooter
https://github.com/thomasschafer/scooter
An interactive, CLI/terminal-based find and replace tool. Neat!
