I've been avoiding using Tailwind or any framework as to try to identify maintainable ways to build with just the web platform in a way that I also enjoy writing code. The last day or so I've been strictly using child combinators (the > in: .container > .thing) and I've found my CSS to easier to read and less likely if not impossible to pollute child components.
Also I recently converted the whole project from a domain-driven source code organizational approach to a more flat horizontally layered approach, that's TBD on its usefulness although first impressions is that I don't feel like something could be amiss when I go to deploy whereas in a heavily domain-driven architecture I get a feeling that there seems to be a stone left unturned somewhere.
It's a slow business and engineering catalyst that I'm making progress with behind the scenes each day. Suffice to say I'm taking the scenic route!
Currently working on a unified website submission flow for submissions and topic creations (topics are collections of websites) and after that I'll be looking into overhauling the whole site focusing on accessibility and how I can make that a great experience.
However with a mouse that doesn't have the thumb support like the MX does, my thumb and left side of my (right) hand distributes more pressure along my hand and down to including my wrist so it distributes the pressure more evenly.
It's also not necessarily just pain but ergonomic uncomfortable in a way that was super distracting, like warning signs that if I kept it up then I'll eventually be in pain.
I used a logitech mx mouse with the palm shape or whatever it's called and I realized that it stopped me from putting more of my hand on the desk, pin pointing the pressure of my hand onto the mouse instead of the desk. What helped dramatically was getting a smaller mouse without that thumb/palm shape (the logitech M720 Triathlon), that distributed more of the pressure onto my desk and I haven't had an issue since.
I hope that helps for anyone having similar ergonomic issues!
There hasn't been any releases in the last couple months but I'm working on some stuff like search topic shelves (netflix-style shelves in the search) and I'm going to bring back visited links that look similar to YouTube 'watched' thumbnail tags!
With the horror stories heard over the years I think a real issue is no hard pricing cap with forced shutdown.
Unless that's changed? I booted them a year ago..
I believe it's a policy or moderation enforcement issue. Such as banning incomprehensible / low value posts whether generated by AI or not.
Ultimately I have plans to make it a place where I can output my product research showcasing websites that meet my own standards and allow other people to make their own lists. The lists are called 'Topics' and are coming in the next update. :)

Notes on Motivation
Either way it's been interesting to see the bullets I've been dodging.
I just released the changelog 5 minutes ago https://intrasti.com/changelog which I went with a directory based approach using the international date format YYYY-MM-DD so in the source code it's ./changelog/docs/YYYY/MM/DD.md - seems to do the trick and ready for pagination which I haven't implemented yet.
All of the submissions apart from one an hour ago (got my first user!) are submitted by me, for example Call of Duty is on there because that's what I do in my spare time, Shift Hosting is what I've chosen for hosting because of the cost x perf ratio and they seem great, YouTube is on there because that's where I learned to program from TheNewBoston, and so fourth.
I agree in general it's not great.. but it's a start and I have the skills to improve it and fully committed to doing so. For example favicon support, profiles to see who posted what, features centered around curation and such.
I'm currently working on implementing a changelog to give a better idea on what's happening so if you're still curious I recommend keeping an eye out for that and I'd love to hear any more ideas you have.
Show HN: Place to find and share quality websites
Hi HN,After 10+ years of learning web development and design and contemplating starting a business online I've finally made headway and launched a website that I can call mine.It's a website directory, it's fairly basic but built on what I believe is a strong foundation and I'm excited to improve it based on feedback, adapt, and grow.The problem Intrasti solves is of saturation and quality on...
I suppose this just shifts the question to.. are we typically more hopeful for others than of ourselves and if so why?
Hopeful = helpful?
I'm currently on the hunt for a notes app and found that. It seems to be a notes app / static site generator wysiwyg that uses HTML.
It hardly mentions anything until the very bottom on what's changed to reach v1, the github release page on the other hand clearly outlines it.
Personally found the blog post to read like documentation rather than a release announcement.
Personally just today I've found my Twitter experience more engaging than ever. I'm seeing more relevant tweets on my 'for you' based on previous engagement like startup founders for example which I think is cool.
An old project I decided to revive & in putting in a better position to maintain.
