Space and protests

👋 Hey everyone!

We have some new subscribers this time. Hello to all :)

But yeah, the James Webb telescope is fully deployed! All of it’s mirrors and parts are unfolded and ready to go. They will be testing for some months before we see any cool picture from zillions of years ago. Each mirror is capable of moving 0.1 microns or 1/400th the thickness of a human hair. Really precise.

Some apps/services worth checking:
  • Craft - a macOS/iOS/Web Notion-like app. It’s unbelievably well built.
  • Linear - Linear is an issue tracking tool. I’ve been testing Linear in some projects of mine and even tho it doesn’t have native clients for any OS, their web app is awesome and smooth.
  • Render - it’s basically Heroku on steroids. You can deploy nodejs apps and dbs for free in the this SaaS.

Marak, the dev behind faker and color corrupted some of their own projects as protest. In faker GitHub we can see the phrase:

What really happened with Aaron Swartz?

I recently learned about the full story behind Aaron Swartz case. It’s definitely absurd.

The story reminds me about depression, not that it has any relation to it, it just reminds me. One year ago I was in my couch, wearing nothing but an underwear and wanting to die every single second. There was no reason for that, my life was perfect. But yeah, depression sucks and if for some reason you start to feel even a bit more sad than the usual, go see a psychiatrist, please.

I think that’s it for today. A small little tech update!

Soon there will be more design related stuff so stay tuned (subscribed lol).

Thanks!
