Don’t expect too much, it’s rather basic, but already enough to read at least non technical books.

Rewriting Pagenode
Today I released Pagenode – a project that I started 14 years ago. Pagenode began its life as a full-fledged Content Management System and now, after countless rewrites, became a simple library. Pagenode’s journey mimics my own as a developer. Its current iteration expresses my desire for simplicity.

I keep reading this narrative where tech backlash only really started in 2017, and… guys, do none of you remember 2010? It’s basically been downhill for tech industry PR since 2010, if not 2008.

@sdk@codevoid.de as for the 140 character limit. I swear I read somewhere that the limit was really more of a suggestion than anything else. I don’t think any of the clients I’ve looked out enforce it. As long as it’s on a single line, no one seems to care too much.

So as of today Impact will be available completely for free, published under the permissive MIT License.
