Things get a bit more far-fetched while running The Pretzel, but the fantasy of the story just sweeps you up.
Also delved into the beginning of the next chapter where everyone stands up for Artie. He’s really got them around his finger now…

Baffled to find that some of the feeds I subscribe to have 300-500 items in them for no good reason.
(e.g. a web comic or a news site with like the last 2-4 years worth of items listed)Have you ever considered just using Newsboat and then building a web interface on top of it for mobile reading? I have been thinking about doing that myself recently.

The definitions of the blockquote and cite elements in the HTML specification have recently been updated. This article explains what the changes mean for developers.
<cite> and <blockquote> ought to be much easier and more standardized. I’ve got some crazy and extreme examples myself I’m sure. The bigger lurking trap is that cite is really a semantic thing, but the way I see it done more often implemented with CSS is as a typographic element indicating italics.
