+1 on Flickr being the best acquisition and product Yahoo! had.

I still have my account and old photos there. And because I licensed most of them as CC, a couple of them landed on Wikipedia because of that - felt nice.

On first of April, Cloudflare released EmDash with x402 support and now going big on CLI.

Cloudflare is quietly rebuilding their entire developer surface with agents as the primary consumer, not humans?

The consistency enforcement at the schema layer is the part I'd want to steal. Enforcing get vs info, standardizing --json across commands, these sound obvious but they're the things that break agent pipelines silently.

One thing I'm curious about: Cloudflare uses TypeScript for Workers and now this CLI, but Rust for the actual edge runtime. Is there a rough heuristic the team uses internally for when TS wins vs when you reach for something else?

Scammers intentionally make grammatical mistakes. If you can spot the mistakes, they don't want to engage with you.

(Of course, there are other reasons why would one spot yet ignore grammatical mistakes - sometimes it is because of the personal situation they are in, sometimes it's of empathy towards non-native English speakers)

https://github.com/abhinavs/blockr is a CLI tool to block websites that distract you. I originally wrote it to block youtube from my 5 year old daughter's laptop and since then, I have been also using it personally (I'm a Twitter addict.)

I have built a Jekyll blog theme too with very small CSS footprint - https://github.com/abhinavs/moonwalk

Last year, I built a CLI tool, called blockr[0] to easily block/unblock websites so that I can focus more on work. I had a few specific requirements:

- I use more than one browser and wanted changes to reflect across browsers - While on my daughter's computer, I wanted to permanently block a few websites, however, for my own computer, I wanted an easy way to activate and deactivate deep-work mode.

Technically, I don't do anything smart and utilitze /etc/hosts file, but this tool has really helped me overcome my Twitter addiction.

I have a few projects that I am actively working on 1. Soopr - https://www.soopr.co Soopr is the easiest way to add like and share buttons to your website.

2. In addition, I have been spending time building a few open-source Jekyll based projects

Moonwalk - https://github.com/abhinavs/moonwalk - is a fast and minimalistic blog with clean dark mode

Cookie - https://github.com/abhinavs/cookie - is a fast and easy to deploy landing website that comes with a blog, additional pages. It uses Tailwind CSS, that makes editing it very easy.
