I want to make it easier to just quickly enable wake lock on your device in a cross platform, no install, offline capable way. It's a silly little project but I'm super proud of it. https://wake.lol/

Here's mine! https://skeoh.com/othello/ It's not nearly as polished but I had a lot of fun making it. It uses React and the now-no-longer-maintained https://boardgame.io/ .

https://wake.lol/ Uses the screen wake lock API if available (or falls back to a hidden video file if unavailable) to keep your screen awake. It's cross platform, zero-install tool with offline support which I use to k

Without RedReader I would not use Reddit. It's understandable that they would want to capitalize off third-party app users -- this approach is pretty disappointing though. Been on the site over 15 years but looks like things are coming

Short of building my own using this API, does a self-hosted Codesandbox/Stackblitz alternative exist? I love the idea of spinning up web containers within my corporate network so I can prototype applications using internal APIs.

Super cool and congrats on shipping! Something I'd love to see is the ability to embed a document on other sites via iframes a la GitHub Gist embeds. That way I could, say, write a blog post describing an algorithm, embed an example of

Linked in the Further Reading section is the Red Blob Games article on Hexagonal Grids which is a fantastic resource and is definitely worth a read. https://www.redblobgames.com/grids/hexagons/

I absolutely love this. It would be easy enough for Valve to say "do not open the Steam Deck" and leave it at that. Instead they present clear, sensible reasons for recommending against opening the device while acknowledging that

FTA: > NSW, South Australia and the Northern Territory have ruled out the use of the check-in app data by police. I'm curious about Victoria though.

The use of the word "hidden" in the article is misleading. The field is visible and editable by the user -- it is just styled in a way that does not make it clear it is an editable field. There is a GIF in the article showing the

Anecdotally: I have a 2 character GitHub user ( https://github.com/j- ) and I like to think I do more than name squat. I missed out on the 1 character user ( https://github.com/j ) by only a matter of weeks!

The article cites two sources (Menlo Park Police Department and Facebook) and neither have been quoted to say that the incident was a suicide. I'm not doubting that detail -- just curious to know what the source of this information is.

Just curious: does this principal apply only to scrollbars or should sites not be able to change the appearance of other controls -- like buttons, for example?
