Very fun to complain about obscenities with the username "EnPissant"
Can't be phished. With a normal password manager, user error could lead to copying credentials and pasting out to a phishing page which is irrelevant with passkeys

Autofill is a good point but it doesn't help your parent who thinks the thing is broken so they have to do it manually, rather than realising it's a phish

It's better for the users for sure, but they're not owed anything for a free service. For the owner of the service, surely it just serves to add more complexity?

It also warns if you try to fill on a site that isn't linked (says something like "1Password can't verify that reaibank.com should use your realbank.com login"
There is a web version made by someone else here: https://taylors-version.com/

The last part was a very nice touch
My pleasure! Sorry to be pedantic :)
This is a really nice article! Just so you know, it says that Postmark doesn't offer a DMARC service, but they actually offer two: Free DMARC Monitoring (https://dmarc.postmarkapp.com/) and DMARC Digests (https://dmarcdigests.com/)
The search seems to be broken right now, but it looks like you can access whatever page you want via URL (e.g. http://static.wiki/en/Computer_Science)

Title is a bit confusing - I thought this meant "Most of the developers who work at Twitter" not "Users in the wider Twitter developer community"
Haven't looked in to this properly yet but already in love with the name!
