jbirnick··on English ↔ Claudish Translator
You could look what this translator does: https://github.com/programasweights/claudish/blob/main/specs...

It would be great to have a little program (or Agent Skill) that could clean up the Claude language in a whole repository.

jbirnick··on KOReader
I absolutely love KOReader on my Boox Go 10.3!

It has super useful features like the semi-auto-cropping which removes margins in PDFs (like papers or books), including unnecessary things like page numbers or similar, so that you can really maximize the size of the core content. It also has a nice chapter overview and other useful things!

Truly one of the best pieces of software I have used so far.

jbirnick··on Oh My Zsh adds bloat
They complain about a startup time of 380ms, but with the default configuration it's only 60ms on my laptop. That's faster than the final startup time of 70ms of their custom config, and it has all the features that they added to their config. So with all the features they need OMZ should be fast enough for them? I don't get it.
