  1. Perhaps the suckiest thing about Mastodon web interface is these "rate limited" popups that not only stop you from editing messages while you wait, but don't even vanish after limitation is over. And which can't be dismissed.

    Even stranger that during the past few hours I had only scrolled few minutes before starting to edit a post to fit 500 chars. Those popups were happening even though I shouldn't have been using bandwidth to begin with!

  7. ✨ NEW free Carrd plugin: Native popup modal

    I keep seeing people ask about popups and modals in Carrd. But there's a way to just use native elements to mimic the effect of a popup.

    No need for embed code, no messing around with CSS and HTML.

    🍾 nativepopup.carrd.co

    First time making a 'plugin' without any code, that can be used even on the free Basic plan!
