last day early bird ticket sale for #GovTechSTACK conference https://www.govtechstack.sg/stack-2022-home
ps. even though the website can look better 😆
nice story of @cxiaoji on growing deck.gl on web (+ replacing the legacy system), unlocking possibilities with open source projects and communities https://yewtu.be/watch?v=PeD8siSJfr0
lost touch of beautiful apps after working on frontend for years. back in those old mobile app dev days, that was the number one selling point for mobile apps (for me) - so interactive (touch, feedback etc), so simple (ux etc), so pretty (colors, animations, dynamics etc)
looking for some music from Singapore on @bandcamp, found some amazing soundscape, e.g.

woohoo, parkrun is so active in singapore
@raucao noticed the user feed is not accessible anymore https://kosmos.social/@alvin.atom. Is it expected?
I got used to dark theme so much, now I forgot the usefulness (or uselessness) of dark theme. I’ve been in the bright room and trying to turn the screen brighter, then light theme saved me immediately 🤣
then code in light theme looks weird now.
I think the rooftop farm makes a good use case of setting up a coop in Singapore, where members are able to subscribe to harvest and invest in the business itself https://www.bbc.com/news/business-61919430
Sucking Stones Brews on #Brewboard
The website of Malaysia-Singapore VTL / quarantine free travel lane is currently flooded with traffic and experiencing downtime
Maybe we need some staircase that can generate some free electricity when we walk down or up. *while looking at the many people commuting in the subway/train station everyday
We should probably disallow Facebook to change name to meta, now I’m getting negative whenever seeing a company named “meta-“ 😆
After years of lonely remote work before this, now I’m finally feeling some warmth having the coworkers around me. People, I always like having people around.
Rant about Berlin
It’s difficult to even try to ask for my missing registered package sent from Singapore to Berlin. I went to post office, then got directed to call customer service. They hung up my call when I started speaking English, twice 🤦♂️
Living in an environment with shitty services and downright rudeness sometimes just too much, I can imagine people can’t help but turning into the same to survive. Even it’s like international city, some experiences are more German than German.
The Andorra official guide has good details of information for cycling, hiking, lakes route, climbing, via ferrata etc.
