@bastianallgeier I know exactly what you mean, wonder if it has a name? “tool separation syndrome”? “abstraction vertigo”?
@adactio nice work! They’re showing up very nicely in my reader. What does your posting UI look like?
@aral I’d love to, but will have to be content being there in spirit whilst hurdy gurdying in Vienna. Hope it goes well!
indietech.org/summit lineup looks awesome, if you can travel to Brighton in July then check it out! Sadly I will be somewhere in the depths of Europe by then and can’t come :(

Beginning to suspect that perfect #granola is a heisenrecipe, i.e. is only possible to achieve when you’re not recording ingredient quantities
@sophiedennis @jackway webstorm seconded, PyCharm and PhpStorm (two other @jetbrains) IDEs are some of the best I’ve ever used.
What’s your favourite road to drive along, anywhere in the world?
Thanks @jetbrains for giving me a free PHPStorm opensource license to work on Taproot #indieweb tools! Best IDEs I’ve ever used by a long shot, highly recommended.
@_aitor yep, came across that while searching — very slick tool, but I needed something which supported more than 2 points and downloaded the actual frames
Any #silex devs who want to add #indieauth sign-in or micropub to their applications? Take a look at github.com/taproot/authentication, I want to improve the documentation so indieauth can make more sense to new users.
