Automating Daily Reports, because fuck it, really...

Each day at our company, developers are required to document their activities, painstakingly jotting down their daily work and future plans. A monotonous chore that I just really dislike.

So now, there's a scribe for that :

/* Set global color scheme without setting a background */
:root {
  color-scheme: light dark;
}

/* Use system colors for dropdowns */

Start the project using a target domain (com, uk, es) and a backend env (staging):
TARGET=com BACKEND_DOMAIN=staging yarn start

/big/boss -> admin panel for developers
big/boss/cms/usage -> List of pages and their URLs where objects are in use
(gnome icon) -> components demo

How to setup a practically free CDN

I've been using [Backblaze][bbz] for a while now as my online backup service. I have used a few others in the past. None were particularly satisfactory until Backblaze came along.

It was - still is - keenly priced at a flat $5 (£4) per month for unlimited backup (I've currently got just under half a terabyte backed-up). It has a fast, reliable client. The company itself is [transparent about their operations][trans] and [generous with their knowledge sharing][blog]. To me, this says they understand their customers well. I've never had reliability problems and everything about the outfit exudes a sense of simple, quick, solid quality. The service has even saved the day on a couple of occasions where I've lost files.

Safe to say, I'm a happy customer. If you're not already using Backblaze, [I highly recommend you do][recommend].
