Facebook: Photo's caption profile-tagging hack

For "hacking" definition, please read this.

You may know the profile-tagging feature when you post from the publisher in Facebook. There is one thing that is inconvenient: if you tagged some profiles in a Wall Photo and then you want to edit the caption, all the tagged profiles will be untagged and come back to normal text. Fortunately, you can now manually tag profiles in photo caption by using the syntax

@[Facebook UserID:Facebook Name]

Very simple, if you want to tag profile called "A Friend Of Mine" and his/her UserID is 123456, just go edit your photo caption and type in @[123456:A Friend Of Mine], save the caption and you are done! The tagged profile will receive notification as usual. I'm not sure if there is any limitation so... try it and tell me if you run into one. Happy Facebooking!

  2. I tried this and it did not work. Not in the photo caption at least. It works when you post it in status updates, but not when trying to fix it in the actual photo caption.

Replacing GCP with Railway for faster cold start

TL;DR I switched a Dart API from Cloud Run to Railway for a 300% faster cold start, simplified DevOps, and a straightforward fee structure. Problem I'm working on this project github.com/daohoangson/flutter_widget_from_html . It is a pub.dev package that's super handy for Flutter developers who want to seamlessly render HTML in their apps. Now, when it comes to HTML, it can get pretty dynamic, right? That's why having a playground to showcase features, troubleshoot issues, and tackle bugs is crucial. The Google team has this fantastic tool called dartpad.dev , which is just perfect for this kind of thing. However, there's a little catch - third-party packages like mine usually can't be used there (unless you have thousands of likes, as explained on  Medium ). So I decided to take matters into my own hands, forked it, then deployed try.fwfh.dev with additional package support. Initial idea since 2019 First deployment  in 2021 Cl...

The add-on package can be downloaded here:  xfrocks.com The source is available also on github. The source tree is merged from the  mudim Google Code tree This add-on does not just insert a simple <script /> tag into every page of your site.
