Five Links #16
Absorbing
Five links for your inbox from this week.
1. Awesome privacy
An incredible list of privacy-conscious alternatives to popular software.
2. Make WordPress faster with 3 lines of code
If you’re running a WordPress site – particularly a slow WordPress site – this article is worth a quick read.
3. No-Signup Tools
No-Signup Tools collects sites and apps that let you use them without creating an account. A rarity in this age of collect-all-the-data.
4. Roadmap
“How do you become a [insert-specialism] developer?”
“I know X, Y and Z – what should I learn next?”
These are questions I’ve been asked many times and answering can be tricky without more context. This site helps map out the routes to various development career paths in reasonably practice and understandable way.
5. earth.fm
Spotify but for natural soundscapes.
Projects + other things

- What’s the deal with privacy-focused analytics? If you start looking at how to make a website more privacy-focused, analytics will come up almost immediately. Why is this such a hot topic?
- Scruples: we’re booking new projects from August.
- My Unoffice Hours are available every other Wednesday. Next slot: July 27th.
