#BookTwitter we need your help! I run Book Bodega, an Indy bookshop in Ramsgate. Winter is killing us, it’s soo quiet & we need to make £800 by Tuesday to pay our bills. This is my current view = no customers 🥹. Please shop with us and help us stay open!

I've always suspected that an advanced alien civilisation with the technology to travel at close to light speed across interstellar distances would arrive in Earth orbit unobserved and proceed to dispatch a fleet of small, easily detectable balloons into our atmosphere.

What’s going on with accessing accounts @Zopa ? I’m getting a notification about maintenance - any idea how long this will last?

#Wordle216 and more. Hidden in the JS source are all the unjumbled solutions. There goes my fav leisure activity. Coding is bane
A deliciously thoughtful thread on our constant need to self-improve and why we need to cut ourselves some slack!
Hey @soMelanieSaid, I absolutely 💕 your website and blog, and every one of your projects is such an inspiration! The learning logs you write up are also super informative for someone who still feels very new to dev, I often try to start my own but then just don't publish them😅
This Royal Mail scam is very hard to discern, the URL in the text seems legit but once you click through to the site none of the links in the footer work which is a sure fire give away. And the supposed tracking number doesn’t exist in the Royal Mail online tracker

I've started a little project to showcase some data from different sites across the web and I'm having a ball following along to @wesbos tutorials, currently mid-way thru 'Node.js Scraper Day 2'

If you need to get data from a site that doesn't expose an API to access those data, you'll probably need to use web scraping.
And Cheerio is a cool tool that can help you do it.
Here @MJMAWA shows you how to scrape websites with Node.js and Cheerio.

This morning was a time of reflection for me. We have built 9 awesome games together in pure JS, HTML + CSS. Building these games is so much fun for me + I am so grateful for all your PRs, comments, and new game suggestions! Thank you so much my coding family!💕 #100DaysOfCode
