Bending it in the browser
I was listening to the Shop Talk Show episode on patching the web. They mentioned removing the trending tweets sidebar and it reminded me to do that. I had to look up aria label selectors in CSS, but applying this bit of CSS using Stylebot removes it nicely. Digital fluency/Anti-app rambling I couldn’t do that […]

Auto-creating a Reveal JS slideshow from a folder of images
