Unrelated to the project, I'm excited for AI-generated art to get better or decline in popularity.

The art on the homepage and its Stripe checkout pages give me the heebie-jeebies for some reason.

Microsoft's Dev Containers [0] is pretty slick, especially when used with GitHub Codespaces [1] if you want remote development.

In college I made a now defunct iOS app [0] for transferring between Spotify and Apple Music.

The bad news is access to the Apple Music APIs requires a paid Apple developer account, so any self-hosted solution will cost you $99.

I’ve heard of previous users of my app having luck with SongShift [1].

It’s worth noting that this page is made by the makers of D2 (they mention it at the bottom, it’s no secret).

For me, D2’s syntax is the easiest to write, but it outputs sparse diagrams that are difficult to read without a lot of zooming.

Maybe it’s A/B testing, but I can see the linked post without an account.

For those on macOS, there is an excellent new project called Whisky [0] built around CrossOver and Apple's Game Porting Toolkit.

Being an invite-only alpha kills Tildes for me, even though I’m interested in it. It seems the closest to what I want out of a Reddit alternative.

I would hope the community would understand outages, bugs, and oddities if they made Tilde an open alpha.

Pi-Hole and PiVPN [0] is a great setup for DNS filtering on-the-go. The setup for PiVPN makes it foolproof as well.

When my Pi stopped working and I couldn’t find a new one, I gave up and moved to NextDNS [1] and have been very happy.

The search results are displayed with blue text against a slightly darker blue background, which is pretty difficult for me to read.

It’s nice to see key accessories (in this case, the dock) and an acceptable amount of storage included by default.

I’ve always held off on impulse buying an iPad because my cart total starts creeping towards MacBook prices once accessories and storage are added.

If you’re a Reddit user, Apollo for Reddit Pro is a solid purchase.

It’s not a subscription, it unlocks a ton of features, and it supports an excellent developer.

So far it seems great, I always thought the previous iOS interface was clunky and slow.

I’d love to see a “drag down to search” gesture like Craft rather than a whole tab dedicated to search.

Bellevue is a city just outside of Seattle, Washington, USA.
