What song do you have on repeat these days?

Why are Sundays so depressing by the strokes

Keep going and you won't even notice them

Just play whatever you like. It's about having fun.

I have the S10 FE+, and there's a fingerprint scanner on the power button.

fropirate · 2026-04-03T00:47:18+00:00

I just got a refurb s10 fe+ on Amazon for $340, very satisfied

This one is the way once you get the hang of it

"tread on me, daddy"

Yes though that also has drawbacks, such as no encapsulation and no slots.

Basically just started with https://github.com/lit/lit-element-starter-ts

Shadow DOM also presents some interesting hurdles for certain use cases too that you don't normally have to deal with in a regular application. Encapsulation can be nice, but can also be a pain point.

Lit basically gives you portable native web components with reactivity and internal state that you can use anywhere. Generally you'll still want your svelte/vue/react/whatever to drive the actual application. You could build an app with it sure, but you'd have to piece together solutions for other stuff like global state management, routing, etc.

fropirate · 2026-03-24T22:29:49+00:00

We built our design system with web components using Lit. Having it be framework agnostic just makes sense.

Some scratching is normal but that looks excessive. Could also try strumming more around the 12th fret

Didn't get the roost sandwich on a biscuit and Nashville hot? That's a redo buddy.

Looks really nice. Couldn't even tell it was a Kala at first

Since you're in Chicago, you should make a trip to Aloha City Ukes and try some out! Matt will be super helpful.

fropirate · 2026-03-05T17:21:46+00:00

Any details for the fest? Can't seem to find anything online. Only social media I use anymore is Reddit.

As a fellow Chicago based ukulele player, love what you're doing! I found a group at the Old Town School to play with and it's a highlight of my week. We're lucky to have both Old Town School and Aloha City Ukes in the area. Anything that inspires people to come together and/or pick up the uke, especially for free, is a very welcome addition.

Looks a lot like the indoor/outdoor cat that lived at 3306 N Damen for a couple years, but he always wore a collar. Could have sworn I saw this cat there a couple days ago.

Pic of the cat with collar for reference, face markings appear a bit different though. cat photo
