> "Above all, I want the web to be more human. I want it to be a place of connection. I also want us to recognize the limits of the web: that the web is one part of our daily lives and the world around us."

>  "Human connections can only happen at a small scale and low speed. And that's why I find exploring small corners of the web so valuable at a human level."

>   "My biggest discovery is realising that when I gamify my daily workflow, I become significantly more productive."

"I still experience moments where I want to tear it all down and to hide away from the embarrassment that I've revealed. But that's the dichotomy of vulnerability, isn't it? To be afraid of being hurt, or be hurt by being afraid."

Pretty excited about these stickers I ordered:

↬ Thanks to Matthew for sharing.

Robert is using raindrops.io for his now page, that's cool.

Ben shared his coffee recipes and also introduced me to Leaflet, which is fun.

I wish this weren't so relatable.

> "I can't control what happened nor can I control what will happen in relation to that. The only thing I can do is control my reactions to it all. This time I'm choosing a path that is better for my mental health."

Recipe immediately searched and added to my winter comfort list.
