Document your errors! There are no valid excuses to still show "Oops, an unknown error has occurred". It is horrible user experience and shows how little you care for your apps. If your app has an "oops" error, your app sucks. Period.

I've been testing out Brave Browser for a week. It's impressive with its support for IPFS and its Brave Attention Token idea. And it comes with many other interesting ideas. Havent ditched Firefox yet however. Keep using that one for my development work.

Enjoying FairEmail on Android by M. Brokhorst and contributors. The fully open sourced and free email client is powerful and complete. Lots of features does give it a small learning curve of a couple of hours. Using it together with OpenKeyChain to send OpenPGP signed emails. Happy to support the development.

Journal Update

The news and measures about the corona virus are giving me anxiety caused nightmares. I feel genuinely scared about what is happening. Worried about my family and my friends and colleagues. Worried that we might not have enough supplies. Worried about how the World As We Knew it is over. Perhaps I've seen too many apocalyptic movies and TV.

I've been away from the office at home for five weeks now. Working from home was okay until my son couldn't go to the kindergarten anymore and then last Friday, my laptop broke. I got the machine replaced. Hopefully I can be somewhat productive again today.

We're together in this until at least April 16th when the schools can reopen. Today is March 17th. A complete lock down of Germany might still happen. For how long is totally unclear? I need to make an inventory of the food and supplies in the house.

Nathan is great and developing. He's also starting to talk much more. And he even formed little sentences. It is however tough keeping him busy without simply turning on the TV. Worried what this is doing to his development?

My Recommended Web Dev Sources

As a web developer, one of my challenges is keeping up-to-date. So I follow a lot of different web development publishing sources. Amongst others, these are the main ones I find myself reading the most articles from:

Frontend Focus

Currently one of the best Front-end development newsletters

@codinghorror WebKit was never a favorite of mine due to slow development and Apple obviously having a bigger incentive pushing native apps. On the other hand, it has never been a better time to start or keep supporting the Mozilla foundation.

The history of ten years of web development would be enough material to fill a book with. It would definitely be a book I’d like to read.

Funny how a simple T-shirt, albeit uniquely designed and in limited supply, actually kick-started me to invest - more - spare time to contribute to the open-source development of the CMS project.
