Webmention is the modern counterpart: https://indieweb.org/Webmention

(The IndieWeb wiki is probably the best resource for exploring the personal website-based social networking tech nowadays. I recommend the author check it out and maybe iterate on that instead :)


I think they mean in s@.

...which doesn’t do signing, but does do E2E encryption? So it’s more like DMs-over-HTTPS.


Negative.

Put country first. Postcode doesn’t make sense without one. Prepopulating one based on location is generally okay, but don’t assume it will always be the same.

Or just don’t try to be too clever.


Yeah. But also, are you ready to maintain a postcode to city mapping for every country you have a significant userbase in?

I'm definitely not, but the lazy method is just to cache the data your customers provide, or curate some data for the countries you are most interested in.

That gets around countries that consider their postal code database a licensed dataset.


That’s a clever way of doing it, yeah.

From UI side, I’d probably not autofill, but add autocomplete (e.g. using <datalist>¹). This way you can still have browser autofill the user’s address if saved (do also set the autocomplete² props correctly!), and suggest one or multiple variants you have in your database, and let the user fill it out manually still, without having to find and click “My address isn’t here”.

(quick note re: compat; Firefox does support it for the text fields, check the table at the bottom)

Congrats on the launch!

Do you work with non-US companies? I have a company in Estonia, and hold some reserve cash (mix of dollars and euro) on a Wise account. It pays 2.20% variable APR, but I’m starting to explore other options :-)


Thanks! Yes we do. Sign up or book a call on our site and let's discuss.

I feel we need a modular verdion of Flash: standalone editor that produces just the animations with Flash-like mechanics, SDKs for major OSS game frameworks, and possibly an editor component you can use in IDEs. You then drop in animation file(s) and track them in VCS like any other asset.

Edit: but of course, the standalone variant should work for non-game animations as well!


You also have to expose the API in the first place.

the LLM writes that too

This. I’ve been genuinely excited about MCP from the start mostly because you can use it by hand, too.

DivestOS supported it, too. Probably the closest thing to LineageOS with a relockable bootloader (and it worked with microG!).
