By Richard MacManus | November 11, 2025 | Tags: Dot-com, 2002, Season 4 Last.fm circa 2003; via Last.fm Flickr account. What we now know as the “social web” — or Web […]
JSDoc is TypeScript
JSDoc *is* TypeScript | culi.bear.blog Home Blog 29 Nov, 2025 In May of 2023 an internal refactoring PR from the Svelte repo made it to the front page of the Hacker News forums. The (superficially) controversial PR seemingly vindicated TypeScript skeptics/luddites (which at the time included figures like Dan Abramov of the React team). The […]
Do Dyslexia Fonts Actually Work? (2022)
In 1927, Samuel Orton, a neuropsychiatrist, observed that many of his young patients with reading difficulties reversed similar letters, confusing d for b, for example. Concluding that the condition was caused by “directional confusion,” he coined the term strephosymbolia, meaning “twisted symbol.” The characterization, but not the coinage, stuck—and fueled early speculation that what came […]
Stop crawling my HTML you dickheads – use the API
One of the (many) depressing things about the “AI” future in which we’re living, is that it exposes just how many people are willing to outsource their critical thinking. Brute force is preferred to thinking about how to efficiently tackle a problem. For some reason, my websites are regularly targetted by “scrapers” who want to […]

GraphQL: The Enterprise Honeymoon Is Over
By John James Published on December 14, 2025 Read time ~3 min I’ve used GraphQL, specifically Apollo Client and Server, for a couple of years in a real enterprise-grade application. Not a toy app. Not a greenfield startup. A proper production setup with multiple teams, BFFs, downstream services, observability requirements, and real users. And after […]

Hashcards: A Plain-Text Spaced Repetition System
hashcards is a local-first spaced repetition app, along the lines of Anki or Mochi. Like Anki, it uses FSRS, the most advanced scheduling algorithm yet, to schedule reviews. The thing that makes hashcards unique: it doesn’t use a database. Rather, your flashcard collection is just a directory of Markdown files, like so: Cards/ Math.md Chemistry.md […]
