Five Links #81
1. Making a great Readme
A great README can be the difference between someone moving on or choosing to engage with your project. When developers land on your repo, they’re asking themselves: “Is this worth my time?” Developers routinely make judgments within seconds, deciding whether to dig deeper or move along. A clear, well-structured README signals that the project is maintained, the author cares about the developer experience, and the barrier to entry is low.
2. MYO Studio
A nice app to simplify the process of creating Make Your Own cards for Yoto players.
3. Stop calling the Super Productionizer a ‘baby blender’
SP™ makes me work faster!! Arguably, I’m at least two or three times as efficient as I used to be now. And my dongle company needs to make more dongles! It’s absurd to ask a worker to be less efficient.
At the end of the day, The Incentives are to be more productive. And SP™ gets a lot more done. I’m two or three times as fast with SP™ than before. So stop asking me to have “other” incentives. (LOL?? what does that even mean???)
People have tried to argue that “morality” should be an incentive - as if something as personal and selfish as that should interfere with dongle production!
4. Ship-shape CSS generators
A lovely tool to create all sorts of shapes in pure CSS.
5. Relinq
A Mac app to convert music sharing URLs between Shopify, Apple Music and YouTube Music.
