sadly this is largely quiet, due to the downfall of twitter :(
I miss the olden days. Feel free to message me here if you want, but instagram might be faster.

My 99yro grandma's first climb: Me and Greta were interviewed on The One Show last night

[Tim Dobson @tdobson]

@Tada1973 listening to an old interview on Ep12 of the @fearlessidzine pod and around 52:00 you said.

"There's a small number of people who confuse resilience with ego"

-> I manage a small sports club and found this quote helpful to me today - thanks for sharing it back then :)

[Tim Dobson @tdobson]

@vprot @msanromanv @ay8s @hamstu @buffer @joelgascoigne @msanromanv for reference - I've used pablo to create over 360 shareables in my time, and whilst I can tell you where it lacks and where it is overbuilt, it really is a fantastically useful tool for me.

[Tim Dobson @tdobson]

@msanromanv @ay8s @hamstu @buffer Is there any chance you could open source the code behind https://t.co/KP3pfVDhOM ?

So I'm a junior dev, and I jolly well love Pablo, but I hear that it's not a key focus for y'all to say the least.

[Tim Dobson @tdobson]

@vprot @msanromanv @ay8s @hamstu @buffer @joelgascoigne @msanromanv just want to note that I did obviously look through buffer's github for the codebase, and I'm well aware of all the fantastic code that is on there - which is why - whilst it is cheeky to ask - it hopefully isn't cloud-cookoo-land-cheeky

[Tim Dobson @tdobson]

@vprot @msanromanv @ay8s @hamstu @buffer @joelgascoigne The alternatives (like canva) entirely miss the usecase - which is Getting It Done Real Fast, with minimum fuss.

This is the demo I created to help me get through pablo going away.

@msanromanv @ay8s @hamstu @buffer @joelgascoigne My demo sigte: https://t.co/Kmg0cZYtpJ is pretty rubbish, and - as you can see fairly awkward and desktop centric and the opposite of optimised.

I can and probably will polish it, but I'd prefer to be refactoring Pablo's codebase than painting from scratch <3

[Tim Dobson @tdobson]

@msanromanv @ay8s @hamstu @buffer @joelgascoigne Thank you Mike.

I'd want to
a) update it (there's obviously technical debt in it)
b) simplify it (it doesn't need as many features - eg no unsplash)
c) Streamline it

This is basically how I'd use it: https://t.co/Kmg0cZYtpJ

I'd happily help in any way I can

[Tim Dobson @tdobson]

@FlokiNETehf enjoyed your talk at ccc :)

[Tim Dobson @tdobson]

@msanromanv @ay8s @hamstu @buffer @joelgascoigne Now Pablo has been retired😭 and is no longer available - would you mind releasing it as open source? <3 😘

[Tim Dobson @tdobson]

I'm super happy with licences like AGPL etc - and of course, you're well reasonable to say no, or point out how it's somewhere near the doormat in priorities - but I just wanted to voice that love for it exists, and "you are not alone".

[Tim Dobson @tdobson]

@MrBButterfield do you have any comment about the appearance of this sex icon at Glastonbury? https://t.co/NU4YjtQ1Hs

[Tim Dobson @tdobson]

@lproven I'm blaming you for me listening to https://t.co/AuUrey3iiQ on repeat now. #earworm ;)

[Tim Dobson @tdobson]

Is there a train times app, that lets you "avoid" a station?

eg can I request to travel from EUS to MAN avoiding Birmingham New Street - for example.

Use case: travel A-> B avoiding known disruption at point E,

[Tim Dobson @tdobson]

@JSimpsonjourno loved your article https://t.co/XtElPtWHok

let's not forget that that @LordPeterHendy got @GarethDennis fired from @SYSTRA_UKIRL for saying the exact same thing, in as many words.

thanks to @haveibeenpwned it is now possible to see that Prince Harry was likely researching his family history on @MyHeritage prior to 2014.
