Taking notes

I started this idea at the end of 2022. There are so many interesting articles, blog posts, and people showcasing what they build, but it’s simply too much to consume it all at once. So I wondered: what if I had a good way to collect all of this and make it easy to revisit whenever I want?

Over time, that idea grew into this site — a personal collection of links (which I call notes) covering all kinds of topics that I, as a web developer, find interesting.

Just recently, I came across this YouTube video that made everything click. From that moment on, it became clear to me that I’ve been building a digital garden all along.

FOSDEM

open source coding assistant

This weekend, FOSDEM is taking place in Brussels. Unlike most conferences, it stands out for the sheer breadth of its topics: from geospatial technologies to a panel discussion on what browsers might look like in 2026, from concurrency and testing in Go to talks on why you might not need an ORM at all — and much more.

For me, one of the main challenges is coming up with a useful way to select the most interesting talks without missing too much.

Since FOSDEM provides an XML feed (https://fosdem.org/2026/schedule/xml) with all the events and speaker bios, I thought it would be interesting to let Claude build a nice site on top of that.

After about 50 prompts — and mostly steering things in the direction of UX — I think the result isn’t bad at all. Check it out at https://fosdem.hello-data.nl.

It even implemented an important feature to put overlapping events in the ‘My Events’ next to each other so you visually know that you cant go to both events since they overlap.
