About me
This my personal site, Sander van Dragt’s Notes. I create positive digital experiences that aim to improve mental health for the people using them.
I'm a Senior Web Engineer at Human Made, an agency operating in the enterprise WordPress space, maker of Altis DXP, where I create better ways to manage content. I contributed to the core sitemaps feature that shipped with WordPress 5.5.
The site is powered by Lamb, my bespoke microblogging software that doesn't demand your attention. It’s frictionless and fast.
Projects
- 2026-01-20 Todout, a minimalist, keyboard-centric task outliner that lives right in your browser. It’s designed for folks who want the speed of a plain-text editor but the organizational power of a structured database.

If you also find the Leave button in Slack Huddles moves about a lot at the end of meetings, you can click on the headphone toggle in the bottom of the left sidebar to leave a huddle. (or try your luck at russian roulette and press the shortcut which either starts, joins, leaves or ends a huddle)

Turns out
yaml_parse()in PHP automatically parses a front matter block out of a markdown based post. -
Entry titles aren't optional in Atom feeds, how to micro blogs deal with that? Update: it seems by making the title an empty element.

The AI evolution seems scary until you realise most of the applications are summarised as a wrapper around the OpenAI API that does all the work, with the context provided by a prompt prefix. So with half a day's study most programmers can participate. #technology

Ubuntu's minimal installation appears to be the standard installation plus the removal of some packages! That's unexpected as I was trying to save installation time. #ubuntu #technology #linux

Map Eject to Multitasking View
So I use ElementaryOS and in version 7 you are no longer able to map just the Eject key. I like to map this to the Multitasking View (something like the macOS Expose).
The solution is to use the DConf Editor application and search for
show-desktop. ElementaryOS repurposes the show desktop to the multitasking view. Simply set the value to['Eject']Alternatively you can set the left-super key (windows/command) to the Multitasking View. This seems better supported.

Lamb 0.2
I've released Lamb 0.2, my micro blogging app that's powering this site.
What's new?
- Posts! Posts are statuses with a title. The title can be added in the front matter (front matter is parsed as an ini-string). Posts have a slug based on the title when the post was created.
- Individual statuses / posts have opengraph tags for improved sharing fidelity.
- The text editor grows to accommodate the input.
