Squarespace is an excellent site to build a good looking website on. Even for an experienced developer who can build things from scratch, Squarespace does a lot of the basics well...

• Inserting text, images, videos, layouts easily with their page editing UIs.

Embedding a YouTube video in a Docusaurus blog article is actually very easy to do. I just couldn't find any docs on it. This is how to do it.

I created a walk through tutorial on how I found Python, and how to create some scripts to interact with Spotify using Python.

I’ve been working on a react native app called Deep Connections on and off for a few years, and using it to test various technologies.
