I’ve been working on a new app for macOS and iOS called Artifacts, which is an image + link organizer. A completely native, local first way to save all that stuff you find across the web.
After 7 years, today is my last day at Basecamp. I plan on taking a little time off, but if anyone is looking for an iOS engineer, I would love to chat, my DMs are open.
I just discovered you can hit / in any macOS save dialog to open a Spotlight-esque quick folder search and even use things like ~ to jump to your home folder. No clue when that was added, but a handy shortcut instead of manually navigating a deep folder hierarchy
I’m a straight white man in a tech job, it doesn’t get much more privileged than that. It would be so easy for me to ignore things that don’t affect me. But I don’t want things to be easy, I want things to be better.
Setting up my new computer and noticed Notion is now approaching 500 MB. What could take up that much space? Electron of course, weighing in at ~200 MB, but then ~282 MB for node_modules! Almost half of which is a single module.
And I’ve learned so much and have become better from my co-workers at Basecamp that have pushed for more diversity, more equity, more inclusion, who have openly shared their lives and experiences. Like many others, I’m sad at the changes announced today.
