Spyglass looks interesting, providing a unified search GUI for which I use a bunch of CLI search tools (ripgrep, ripgrep-all, and now bogrep) as well as some simple bash scripts. Somehow I still prefer some CLI-based tooling though which I

"Rewind compresses, transcribes, encrypts, and stores your data locally so only you have access." sounds good. Was your CPU usage ok when running the background service?

Interesting setup! Personally, I would be cautious to use such a screenshot service though. Even if self-hosted, it could screenshot credentials, environment files, and my password manager for example, which would then be stored in plaintex

Using Bogrep, I could only find https://tenderowl.com/work/frog/ in my bookmarks which is a bit related, but doesn't seem to be what you're looking for.

IMO, building a social network is quite difficult nowadays because you can't monetize it right away. So you either have to bootstrap as a side project and build a community for years or getting paid by VC money early on. We tried somet

Thanks for trying. Difficult to change a business model if it's working quite well (financially). Long-term thinking and short-term bonus payments don't align. Kudos for your decision to leave.

I'm still fine with Thunderbird as a MUA (more or less). Using number 1 and 4 as shortcuts to mark an email as "todo" or "urgent". Invitation to appointments (ics file format) can be accepted as well. Integration of

Can confirm. Unfortunately, Postman is too resource-hungry (on Ubuntu). Launching is taking a while as well. I have to admit I'm quite surprised that VS Code (which is also an electron app) is relatively fast and resource-sensitive. Ha

UI/UX can't be tested easily. IMO, this is why continuous delivery is especially important in (GUI) apps.

Google did recently update its review process. I was complaining about its previous review process for 10 months at least. It's a little better now. Previously, an app was suspended without any warning. You even couldn't comply wi

Google's extremely annoying Cookie selection is a UX nightmare: scrolling past two pages before you can press a button. I'd rather go to the library than use Google Search ever again. (An occasional !g bang in DDG is allowed thoug

We built too much. We even had topics before twitter had. But features don't matter much. We gave up when we realized it's at least 1-2 years community building before achieving anything substantial.
