I'm not on Twitter these days since Mastodon has become a cool place, but posting since a lot of you still only follow me here and might be interested.
I'm shutting down KanbanMail! Feeling happy looking back over the journey it's been 🫶 Read more here: kanbanmail.app

Well, guess I’m posting this now cause I’m not sure how long until Twitter locks down further again posting Mastodon links…
I’ve completely left Twitter, follow me on Mastodon instead (although I haven’t been that active on there lately either):

When they stopped letting you view profiles without signing up (about a year ago), I seriously considered leaving. I didn’t want to be producing content for free to funnel people into Twitter’s revenue system.
But back then Mastodon wasn’t big enough for me to leave Twitter.

Now with the whole #TwitterMigration, there are more than enough interesting people to follow on there across various subject matters, and there’s no longer an excuse for you guys not to have accounts there either!
So I’ve left Twitter completely, hope to see you on Mastodon 👋

The joys of working with open data...

⚠️📊 The option to view charts by source of infection on covid19nsw.ethan.link is no longer available, as NSW Health has discontinued the dataset (see reason below).
Don't worry though, everything else (including other charts) will continue to work with the newer dataset.
ALT "This dataset has been discontinued from 19 November 2021. NSW Health now reports daily COVID-19 cases as a total of local and overseas cases. With quarantine-free international travel, overseas origin of cases can no longer be determined immediately, but will be included in the COVID-19 weekly surveillance reports. The NSW COVID-19 cases by location dataset will continue to be published."

By the way, apologies to anyone who's emailed or tagged me who hasn't received a response yet!
I'm in the middle of doing my HSC so I'm unable to keep up with every single email at the moment, but hope to reply to them all eventually.

P.S. For those who never got to see the "by source" charts before, this is what they looked like!

For those who are following me because of my work on covid19nsw.ethan.link:
📈💉🎉 I just added vaccination charts!!
👀 You can now see each postcode or council's progression over time for 1st and 2nd doses — so far I think I'm the only site that displays the data like this!

Also, in case the name of the site isn't self explanatory, these charts are for NSW only!
And by "displays the data like this" I meant with the charts over time. If you want to see the same data in a map form, the NSW Gov site is great! 😀

Honest web dev question:
Why is CORS necessary? If the cookies, etags, cache, etc. were completely separated from those used for first-party requests to the site, what would be the security issue with allowing fetch() for any URL?

Allowing the fetching of any URL from the frontend, regardless of CORS headers, would:
- Reduce the server costs/load for a lot of web apps
- Improve user experience due to a faster response time for external URLs that currently need to be fetched through a proxy/backend

🎉 New 1Feed release! It's been a while, but here it is.
👨🎨 The most notable change is a redesign focused on making 1Feed easier to scan and feel more like your favourite book. I've also updated the landing page design!

👨🏫 It's school term time again, so I'll be quieter and signed out of Twitter for a while!
👨💻 But I'm still working hard on 1Feed, just in a more 'offline' way. At the end of this release cycle, I'll announce what's new in 1Feed!
More on 'offline' making:

If you want to DM me, please message me on Telegram instead so that I see it!
I might take a while to reply though, so no need to be offended — I'm just quite busy with school, but will get to it eventually :)
