Hi, I’m Daniel! I help people make and use software by writing documentation and code (learn more about me). Sometimes I write and speak.
If it’s your first time here, then get The 30-Minute Information Rescue, a guide to help you survive your next information emergency.
If you want to get occasional updates about improving your technical writing, documentation tools, and more, then subscribe to the newsletter.
Delete Your Content — To help you make your best content stand out, I’ve created Delete Your Content, an educational product to help you through the process of inventorying your content.
Write the Docs — In October 2020, I am co-hosting the Welcome Wagon for first-time attendees of the Write the Docs conference in Prague to be held online. I did this in 2018 and 2019. It was so nice I had to do it thrice. I hope to see you there!
Mozilla and MDN Web Docs — I create and maintain browser compatibility data with Mozilla’s MDN Web Docs team. Read How I helped Mozilla turn documentation into data to learn more. Or check out my post on Mozilla Hacks about what it means to “own” an open source project.
Write the readable README — Write a README file that gives readers confidence in your project with my open source checklist.
Tweets and text — I made some Twitter bots you might enjoy, including @KareninaClones and @starnearyou. I infrequently update How to Flee the Country, a newsletter about how I left America for a life in the United Kingdom.
