I'm back home from Resend Forward, but it's almost time to head off again. I'm looking forward to speaking next week at @oredev.org about who is using your website and how you should build for them. Will I see you there?

I need you all to know that everyone at @resend.com are just wonderful people. I feel very privileged to be a part of this team.

What a privilege to be able to share the work that the fantastic @resend.com team have been working on. Resend Inboxes is a beautiful UI, and API, and CLI, and MCP server that gives you programmatic inboxes for your agents and teams.

piccalil.liStop buttons triggering zoom when they’re double tappedIt’s annoying when your browser zooms if a button is rapidly tapped. There’s actually a really simple fix and no, you don’t have to prevent all zooming with a meta tag!

So LinkedIn has a "Seems like AI slop" button but I have two problems with it: 🔵 It's only on LinkedIn 🔵 It's not very satisfying So I created a bookmarklet that you can drag into your browser and use on any page any time you think you see slop.

It doesn't actually achieve anything, but it does have two benefits: 🔵 It is available for any website 🔵 It's very satisfying Go get your bookmarklet now from: philnash.github.io/seems-like-s...

I'm getting pretty tired of replies that are clearly LLMs. If you have set up some sort of agent to have social interactions for you, please take a long hard look at yourself.

Released a new version of github.com/philnash/ema... for verifying email addresses with the browser Email Verification API. This version includes configurable timeouts for the network requests involved (after Google's JWKS endpoint was down last week).

Normally we verify email addresses by sending users an email, making them open their inbox, find the email, and click a link to return. Friction at every step. What if it could be this easy?

I just wrote the word "metric" so many times that there's no way that it's a real word, and even if it is, it can't be spelled like that.
