Sync URLs

You can use Sync URLs if you like, but we find that adding pages manually to Super is a much more reliable way to handle page integration. This may change in the future, but we recommend doing this for now.

Created	Name	Excerpt
January 18, 2023	My plan for digital and physical wellness in 2023	I was always a pretty good orienteer technically, but I was always busy. As such, I prioritised other endeavours over my core fitness. That changes this year.
December 27, 2022	Using ory.sh (or any Axios library) with Cloudflare Workers	A Christmas treat for serverless fans, as we discuss a workaround for using Axios-based libraries with Cloudflare Workers.
December 3, 2021	Football’s big clubs don’t want change - that’s why fans must speak out	Fans have been calling for changes to the way that football is governed for years. Clubs in the English Football League have lurched from crisis to crisis, with self-regulation seemingly powerless to intervene.
November 21, 2020	Why I stopped using Facebook	From 2010 to 2019, I was quite comfortably the Most Online person that I knew. I joined Twitter back when shortcode messaging was still encouraged, I was a day one user of Instagram for Android, and I was one of the few people on this planet who genuinely loved Google+.
July 26, 2020	Where are Manchester’s e-scooters?	I’ve liked electric scooters for a long time. I’ve used them in a couple of countries to great success, and I’ve advocated for their introduction in the UK. In our current climate, such a socially-distanced, environmentally-friendly way of getting around should be welcomed.
June 14, 2020	Digital archiving, the internet, and my brain	It is not for the archivist to pass judgement, but to evidence without fear or favour to those that will: the more data that we can capture to ensure that reality is not lost to the annals of time, the better.
May 16, 2020	Openreach, Open Competition	The problem with Openreach isn’t a lack of state control. The problem with Openreach is almost precisely the opposite: the state has granted it near-monopoly over broadband infrastructure in the UK with no repercussions for poor service.
May 13, 2020	Remote, Remote Working	Setting up a desk at home and returning to the company of my own thoughts, hammering out a few hundred lines of code in the process, would ordinarily be a walk in the park. But this isn’t ordinary. None of this is ordinary.
