What do you think?
Every month I have been sharing cool blog posts from other people (in my monthly newsletter).
So I put together all the amazing posts I have shared until now: https://bryanhogan.com/blog/other-cool-blog-posts-2026
Group the elements with a colored background, or no card background?

I was happy with the home screen from yesterday, but this one needs much more work.

Improved the UI and PWA version added. ✅
I wanted to a simple timer for time-boxing that just work.
No account, 100% free, no ads, no distraction, just a sequential timer.
I originally built it more than a year ago, but have updated it with some improvements now.
I think for consistency I will have to go with a vertical form layout, title first, form element in the next row.
Putting small elements (e.g. checkboxes) next to the title feels inconsistent.
But if I do stack all then I'm using up a lot of vertical space..
Any ideas?
Rewrote my /about page on the train from Seoul to Busan.
Expected I would finish this in around 5 minutes, took around 2 hours instead.
I guess good writing takes time?
