Long overdue… but I finally made an actual website for the Furnished Aparments spreadsheet!
furnishedapartments.io
It's as basic as it gets, but at least it's live. Now easier to browse on mobile, which is the main advantage.

This cookie popup is amazing…
Selecting "Essential cookies only" gives you:
- 7 seconds of loading spinner, then…
- 12 seconds of another loading spinner with a live percentage!! :D

Whoever designs and engineers stuff like this must be happy for their contributions to society after a long day at work figuring out ways to trick people.

I don't know what to do with this SVG-based vector editor I hacked together in React… ideas welcome :D
Was going to use for a project, but not needed anymore.

Getting iOS Safari to not scroll to focused inputs is tricky, but it's possible for the determined. All you have to do is:
1. Get MBA.
2. Become CEO of Zillow.
3. Run Zillow into the ground and transfer zillow.com domain name to your website.

Hosted on Heroku Hobby dyno ($7/mo), doesn't seem like there were any hiccups. Reqs per second peaked at 4rps. The 4XX requests are all favicon.ico reqs, 3XX are http->https, it seems like. During peak the response time grew a little. A couple of screenshots for my own archive.

According to my statistics (via @usefathom), 3k people had the tab open at midnight (in their own timezone). Meaning, that's how many people switched to 2021 listening to Sandstorm on this website!
