Isn't this a dupe of SceneTap from a decade+ ago?

Congrats on 5.0 - CoScreen has been an integral part of our team's daily workflow for the last couple of years, and it's been wonderful to to be able to share feedback and see the product evolve into a better and better tool. Havi

I've been hosting my email on my own server since the 90s, but got tired of dealing with keeping up with spam filters. Updated the MX to deliver inbound to mailroute.net and have them do the filtering before forwarding to my server an

My team has been using CoScreen ( https://www.coscreen.co/ ) for collaborative meetings and development for much of the last year and it's been really transformational. The ease at which anyone can share any window and e

Every day, and it's still very reliable and works very well for me; i hope it continues to run, though it would be nice for Zoom to make a strong statement around it. I note the Keybase github repos continue to receive updates too, so

CoScreen has been great for our engineering standups, truly collaborative development and debugging etc; it's just removes so much friction for distributed teams

This has been a really great addition to our workflow for many months now as it's gone through beta - It's become the default place to have standups etc as it just makes working together so much easier than individually sharing wi

While unfortunate, this is a really great, transparent summary posted in a very timely manner. A bonus that I learned something about the sharp edges of Cloudfront in the process which may serve me well later.

I've been using the beta version for the past few months, and it's really been great to see the progress made - Adding thumbnailed webcam feeds of participants was a nice addition and means it can replace Zoom for many of our engi

Seems similar to Fluid ( https://fluidapp.com/ ) which i found useful many years ago, albeit Mac only and likely much lighter/simpler

I've been using https://krisp.ai/ to great effect with Zoom while sitting outside on the laptop with road traffic, birds, etc nearby - My team really had a "wow" moment when i turned it on the first time

I had a Dell 38" ultrawide that I loved, but it did not survive a cross-country move so I just replaced it with a Philips 499P9H 49" ultrawide - 5120x1440 - Really the same dimensions as two 27" monitors side by side, but wit

If you've used Cmd-C to copy something to the clipboard, pbpaste is really useful to pipe the clipboard contents into a pipe or to a file (pbcopy being the inverse)

I don't read 1000/day, but I do step through 1,000 - I scan a headline/summary, hit "j" and move on for the vast majority of them. Some i'll star and come back to later, for others the first sentence of the su

https://bazqux.com/ was the closest i found in terms of UI and performance with the amount of feeds/items i go through (~1000 items/day) - Been pretty happy with it since Google Reader shutdown

I've had a license for Charles Proxy for the last 9 years and it's been a seriously useful tool, not just for introspecting http/https traffic (and recording those sessions to attach to tickets), but for dynamically modifying

Interesting.. I've been very happy with Webpass for the past 8 or 9 years (though my building's crappy wiring can "only" support 100Mbit). A Webpass engineer I spoke to last week mentioned they're rolling out fiber

I wrote a fax->email gateway in 2002 that's still in very active use.. wouldn't be that remarkable, except most of the servers are still running original equipment with original hard drives! Anyone have servers running 24x7 wit

fwiw i switched from Google Reader to https://bazqux.com/ - The UX is very similar, has no problem dealing with a lot of feeds and is fast enough to keep up with my ~1000 item/day habit.

Did you get a pre-registration offer this year? I've been every year too, but it seems like they've given up completely with their I/ON program now :-(

Additionally - Pushing the seed operation out of the loop decreased the run time for 1,000,000 samples from ~10 seconds to ~50ms on my machine.

I tried a lot of different readers prior to and after the reader shutdown, and Bazqux was the only one I found I could live with. Very fast, has search, is consistently up, keeps the familiar UI and has no problem with my 1,000 item/da

I've been pretty happy with Crashplan ( http://crashplan.com/ )so far. The free version will allow you to backup to one or more remote machines which you can seed via a hard drive if you want to avoid uploading hundreds of Gb for the ini

HDR app developers should be happy they have the opportunity to sell an app that improves or extends upon the native iPhone HDR features to an audience that had probably never even heard of HDR up until now. It's free marketing.

This has been around for years - Load up mail-archive.com in Firefox 2 (for example) and browse threads via Charles proxy or Fiddler so you can see what it's requesting and you'll see it pre-fetching the next message in the thread thanks to
