The Alpha is here! Most of the technical stuff is working. It’s a working replacement for Stylish at this point. It will be a working replacement for Greasemonkey at the Beta and it will be a vast improvement on both by the time it’s stable (just a couple weeks from now) Right now the UI is not where I want it. Especially the Edit page. It’s busy and cumbersome. This will be improving a lot, I promise. It’s also a bit glitchy sometimes. Just refresh and it’ll work itself out. Anyone with moderate or better CSS or JS should feel at home pretty quickly here. The main point of this release is to get some feedback about how it works. Please share your thoughts at ansel@anselsantosa.com. If there are bugs, or you have feature requests post them in the tracker. TL;DR Imagine Stylish + Greasemonkey with a much better user experience: You won’t have to leave the options page to find new modules Syncing across computers/browsers If you don’t know how to code, there will be detailed instructions and easy-to-use starter code The interface will be pretty, simple, and easy to use IF YOU ARE A DEV, I WANT TO [...read more]
Minimalist Suite
["Subtract until it breaks" - Smashing Magazine] There are a few fundamentals that have driven me to create these extension: I love Google I love minimalism I love choice Because of the first part, I am a huge fan of Gmail. I believe it is the gold standard in consumer email. Its features are industry leading and it is highly accessible. The one aspect in which is falls short is design. Specifically the interface design of the Gmail webapp. This is where the other parts come in. For years I have been using user scripts and browser extensions to improve my web experience in a variety of ways. However, I often had as many complaints about these scripts as I did about the products they fixed. Last year I got fed up and wrote my own user scripts for Facebook, Gmail, Google Voice, Google Reader, and Google Calendar. Since then they have been improved and refined. Just before winter break I had some free time and decided to go public. I figured that I wasn’t the only one who was frustrated by the lack of comprehensive scope and granular control over browser extensions and I wanted to help those who [...read more]
Where Windows needs to go
As the title would suggest, this is yet another post in my “why can’t everything just be perfect!?” series. Past post in the series include smartphone, Android, and tablet PC.

In addition to playing 14 hours of Minecraft this weekend, I had a little project. Brennan wanted a small portfolio/profile site. He wanted it to be Ulta-minimalist, “the style of no style” and I think it turned out really great.
The mistress v3
This spring I talked about my dream computer. Last week I talked about where Android needs to go. In continuation of that series, I want to talk about my dream phone.
Hosting migration
Long story short, I have a new host and it’s great but I had to migrate manually and I probably messed something up so if you see something off about my website [or Sarah's] please let me know.
Where Android needs to go
Don’t get me wrong, I love Android. It is without a doubt the best embedded OS for me and I would venture to say the best embedded OS overall. But it has a long way to go.

sarahsutin.com [finally]
8 months ago this Sunday, I registered sarahsutin.com planning to make the website immediately. Sarah didn’t really see the point but she’s an amazing girlfriend and I needed a project so she humored me. So what have I been doing since then? Avoiding her website apparently.
