Awesome, very on point. Added to the post, thanks!
Pretty cool stuff, thanks for sharing!
The main idea here is you post once on your own website, and automagically your content is displayed across the Fediverse (Mastodon, Flipboard, Pixelfed, WordPress, and Threads).

That's a valid point! I've been searching for places to hangout for a while, sometimes called "campfires". Found a cool Discord with generous front-end folks (that's a broad spectrum!), on frontend.horse.
Against the backdrop of mass layoffs, LLMs, site-builders and vibe coding what does it mean to conscientiously build for the web, and where do we go from here?
Rob is a web industry veteran, and his ideas are extremely relevant for the days we live in today. We need a refocus, and a sense of community in the design/web development world.

I dream of a web that fosters healthy conversations, together with personal and intellectual growth. The world is diverse and fascinating, and we can be information explorers together.

I also found about this today, maybe it's useful: https://fediverse.info/explore/people
I mean, if you follow the right people you'll get exposed to the right ideas. Most of the people I follow will not be posting about their kids or their brunch, but about cool articles or things they learned. Or am I missing something?
It's definitely work in progress. But it has also grown a lot, and you will have no issues finding good content there. Hashtags and "people that the people you follow follow" are a good start. Also, at the end of my post you'll find some seed suggestions. :)
Awesome! I'll update my post, thanks for this tip! What's the best way to credit you?
Ghost has a clear path for this. I'm keeping a close eye, pretty respectable work for such a big player. Excited to integrate this on a friend's website soon, self-hosted version.
Ghost seem to be very receptive to feedback, as they post on the progress of their ActivityPub development. This is good feedback, send it their way!

At the dawn of the industry, we needed big companies to deliver quality software. You’d buy version 1.0 because the way it worked was revolutionary, and it let you do amazing new things. You’d buy version 2.0 because it added helpful new features. Apple, Adobe, Microsoft, etc. became household names...

Hey! Somehow when I pasted the screenshot for this post, the link was lost. I added it as a comment.
Hmmm,... I had to Kagi search for Lutris. Looks cool. This here is a simple launcher app named Cartridges, all it does is launch games. In my case, Steam games. :)
This is the actual link to the list of apps: https://fredrocha.net/2025/02/28/ubuntu-gnome-apps-i-use/
A selection of the apps I use on a day-to-day, on my Ubuntu install. What are your favorites?
A dozen years ago (how can it be so long? How can he have been so prescient?) Anil Dash wrote “the Web We Lost“. This isn’t our web today. We’ve lost key features that we used to rely on, and worse, we’ve abandoned core values that used to be fundamental to the web world. To […]
Excellent write up by @johnallsopp on the future distributed web we all need.
Personally, I prefer maximizing what revenue I can get in my working hours, make these hours not take all of my week, and use the time off to do creative and rewarding stuff (not start a side hustle). I know this wasn't what you were searching for, but for me money comes second.
I've used Ubuntu for a long while, it's just a first-class environment for development. So, good luck!
I said "good riddance" to Apple and got a new Linux-first laptop, then proceeded to note down my first impressions.
Having used Ubuntu and Linux for 20 years, and having had a stint period with Apple, I decided to stick with Linux for good.

Whenever I launch a new web project I go to Google Search Console and Bing Webmaster Tools to flag that the new website exists. The idea is to start getting SEO seniority / attention as early as possible.
Is there any other tool I should be registering my website in, or are these the major two?
This website we're now launching started off as a good friendship. That slowly brewed into a partnership.
In which I explain how a freelance gig was born out of a sincere friendship, and how the website went through idea, process, implementation and delivery.
Consider whether your current job aligns with your guiding principles and values. Start practicing Meaning-driven Development.
I wrote a post detailing why I use meaning as the criterion for selecting my next web development project.
