Bluesky, New Project, Website Launch, and an introspective AI prompt

Hey friend,

It’s been a while since I’ve sent a proper email to you (Black Friday sales emails don’t count). Let’s get into it!

New Project…Coming Soon
I’ve been working on a really big project that I can’t wait to share with you. I shared a sneak peak of it on my instagram story, but here’s the video for all you non-social media people (I salut you 🫡).

Reconnect Your Instagram Blocks
Speaking of Instagram, if you’re using the Instagram Block in Squarespace, you’ll need to reconnect it to start pulling in new content. See Squarespace note about it here.

Bluesky
I created a profile on Bluesky, the new(ish) Twitter competitor. As a web dev & design enthusiast (as well as a political and foreign affairs news junkie), I still find Twitter educational and entertaining, but many of the folks I follow are now moving to Bluesky. Social Media platforms are really hard to get off the ground, so we’ll see if Bluesky makes it, but what’s most intriguing to me is that you can set your domain name as your handle, which I love. I created a tutorial on setting that up and adding the Bluesky Icon to your Squarespace website.

Her Workplace Website
Just launched a new website, Her Workplace, in collaboration with designer Jay Jones. One of my favorite components is the testimonials, built with SwiperJS.

AI Prompt’s I’ve used
If you have chatGPT, it keeps a record of all the questions you’ve asked it and has built a little persona of you. Recently, I gave the chatGPT 4o model this prompt:

What are some things about myself that I may not know, and what are some hard truths about myself that I need to acknowledge?

The response was strikingly on point, incredibly personal, and, for the most part, true. I’m not gonna share it here, but it would be worth trying yourself if you have access.

Well that’s all from me today, more tutorials and code catalog snippets below!

Keep Building,
Will
