Hello Silklist,
Glad to be a part of something that the more I read about, the more I am
ashamed to not have known about. Better late than never then.
I’m a web designer and front-end dev, sometimes a photographer and writer;
I work with Gaurav Vaz; I like movies and great food and coffee. I work

Thanks Ingrid, exactly what I was hoping to hear, and our plan to begin
with.
I have ended up using so many photo services like these over the years,
I’ve lost track of most of them. For an actual portfolio, Adobe’s own
service ends up being pretty nice and minimal (https://ashim.myportfolio.com)

investment in producing more work. And maybe thresholds with different
licence benefits.

I’m a tad conflicted about consuming opposing viewpoints. While I try and
read a variety of sources, and will double check most stories of note,
there is a line I try not to cross. Because of a general distrust of
sources available to us, there seems to be a growing view that the average

There’s an interesting app I used for a while called Be My Eyes. Super
simple idea, both blind and sighted people sign up and when they need it
blind users can video chat with someone to quickly help them with something
that isn’t exactly friendly like identifying a can of food, or reading a

I love that thought, thanks Cheeni. It's definitely worth keeping around as
we build things. It also reminds me that @jonnysun has made two interesting
Twitter bots that fit this conversation—@tinycarebot and @tinydotblot
They both really suit the medium well.

Funnily enough that was among the criticism of the new Star Wars—using a
sci-fi plot style in a fantasy world. The tension in the movie depended
heavily on a craft running out of fuel and therefore generated a tonne of
questions about how the spacecrafts worked rather than the fantasy that

For sites I don’t use too often, I was always tempted to reuse passwords
which is a pretty bad practice, so I started just using the forgot password
feature more often. So I have a ridiculous entirely random password that I
don’t know, and then just say forgot password when I want to log in.
It’s
an absurd solution that works!
