Thanks, this will pair wonderfully with my Capcat.org project.

Yes, I created this targeting my personal archiving needs, Developers, Design Engineers, ML engineers.

Markdown output has frontmatter for categorising data. HTML for browser consumption is optional.

The goal was to have a simple TUI for quick fetching, but the CLI can be scripted and extendable. All of this with focus on ethical scraping.

Commands are created following the standard from clig.dev.

Thanks for your response.

Very good clickbait title. I am envious:)

Thanks for posting it:)

Let me tell you something. I am a product designer. I know we are doomed to be obsolete. Not only that, but I will use ChatGPT to develop my prototypes and small scripts.

And finally, will find a time to build some ideas with Dart/Flutter. Something inside is telling me that in a generated future, people who can code will be able to create free from no code tools and SaaS silos. And this is enough motivation for me:)

I see a strange future in which product designers (who will spend less time on decorating and fiddling with DS components) with the help of ChatGPT will fulfill the role of junior devs in the production pipeline.

>Visual centering should be implemented in CSS with a neural net. Let's get standards with the beat.

Actually, I am utterly baffled that this is not the target of current neural net implementation. I expected some form of automation to emerge in this field first.

Instead, someone decided, that investing in generative "A.I." art and removing the human element from the illustration process is more important.:)

The craftsmanship requires dedication, critical thinking and hard work.

In the world of lean development and design sprints, the quality of UI is not the important part.

Maybe in the near future, only the best designer will survive the shift.

If you're not well-versed in visual design, it's okay to stick to some basic guidelines.

But remember, every rule is just a starting point. If you have a solid understanding of contrast, color, composition, usability, accessibility, and more, you have the freedom to experiment and try new things.

In my professional opinion, standardization and commoditization in design have their pros when it comes to production and usability. However, this approach is leading us towards a bland and uninteresting user experience.

I'm hoping that the emergence of XR will bring back some of the old-school "skeuomorphic" spirit of exploration, expression, and texture in design. If we keep relying solely on "best practices," we risk being replaced by automation.

And please, don't design UI without having a design background. Use some UI library or Tailwind/Bootstrap instead.:)

Dear Obsidian team.

Thank you from my heart. As a designer, I have visual thinking, which requires clear representation of relationships between information objects.

No more fiddling with mind-map apps which cannot offer this level of integration with my vault.

Now I finally have focused workflow.

Thank you again.

Every classically trained artist and designer knows the principles of contrast.

Dark-colored text over a light background will result in a higher contrast ratio than the opposite combination.

Design decisions must be objective and based on data.

As an option, the user must have the choice to apply different modes and themes based on A11 for low vision.

For example, the principle of higher contrast (dark-colored text on light background) will be literally painful for people with photophobia.

Still using Kanboard. It is sufficient for my team needs. For the rest is Slack.

I am in a somewhat similar situation. After closing my web company recently (2019), I have focused purely on DS and the hand-off process.

In my case, I have an interest in front-end development (React), refreshed my JS knowledge (https://eloquentjavascript.net/), and moving forward with this course (https://designcode.io/react).

Frustration can come from different angles, company, team, or personal.

Working long years as a PM and business owner, I found that sometimes the changes are inevitable. Some vacation and personal time can help for future adjustment. Good luck to your friend.

Maybe I have not explained it clearly, sorry.

I usually generate my passwords with pwgen (you can install on Mac with brew and use this command pwgen -s 20 -1 -v -y -c -0) then store in plain text within an encrypted folder on my NAS.

In some cases, I use 2FA. In some, a lengthy "mumbo-jumbo" passwords that are easy to remember. :)

P.S. This is just an old habit and I have nothing against using a password manager like https://keepassxc.org/

My passwords live in an encrypted folder with contextual information, then are used in the browser with per site rules. Bookmarks are collected in Markdown with tags/notes (Obsidian), or clipped with a bookmarklet.

I use this script: https://bit.ly/3vyA9on. Big thanks to the Author.

Usually at the end of the day, I refine all collected information with tags or specific folders/links.

If you want to export your clipped content, there is a plugin called Obsidian Enhancing Export (requires Pandoc) https://bit.ly/3cZFmzl

P.S. This approach has saved my skin many times. I can sync to my Obsidian folder, which I sync with Synology NAS.

I will never have more than 5-8 myself. For me, focus is the key of accomplishing a given task. If I have to do a research, I collect by clipping in Obsidian, then tag and reorganize. If a given project needs a series of webpages on startup, I create a new profile in chrome (with different colour) and move along.

Searching trough open tabs is way more inefficient than searching trough topics/folders and tags in Obsidian. Working against complexity is a habit, I guess. It comes with realization that time is precious:)

A little aside. In early 2000, the problem was how to introduce and educate businesses about UCD and UX design processes. Nowadays, in my personal view, we have to balance all the UX/UI trends/principles/research with business goals more. Starting with well-defined set of product requirements and KPIs and "keeping it in focus" is essential.

Start with the fundamentals. I have published on my blog introduction series of articles for beginners (don't subscribe, it is not necessary).

UX is a deep topic. But from software-developer perspective you must cover the basics (if you choose so).

I am a designer that got fed up with "mouse" control everywhere.

One day I asked myself: Is there a way to scroll in the browser without using a mouse or arrow keys?. Enter Vimium.:)

I have tried in the past Emacs, but I have an operating system, and I don't need a new one (for now). So now you can take MacVim only from my cold hands. P.S. > You can paste the buffer in insert mode with ctrl+r+0.

My theory on this "problem" is that we are already data and echo chamber-driven society. If people "en masse" decide that they have had enough, uniformity and sameness will go away:)

Is this a new Firefox service? Hey, I can create a real corporate identity for you. After a serious research and thousands of variants. It is cheap: only 200k USD.:)

Now, a question: Why established IT companies rarely understand the importance of the words "Identity" and "Brand Differentiation"?

Beauty! My personal preference is iA Writer Mono. https://github.com/iaolo/iA-Fonts/tree/master/iA%20Writer%20...

I agree. That's why, I suggested a therapist as a first step. Without more context every advice is wrong. But as a general rule of thumb, identifying, reducing or eliminating the pain points works. I know this from my limited experience with two burnouts so far.

I am no expert by any means, but just skimming to your problem description I see two "pain points": 1. Your job - no fulfillment - just money. 2. Your spouse - no trust - lack of compassion.

For the looks of it you are stuck in two places of frustration. Find adequate therapy, speak with people who you trust and have respect for. If after this solution is not present - exclude the two points of frustration from your life and restart, rebuild and enjoy life. Wish you luck.

This guy (Fabrice Bellard) is my personal hero.

I have designed and build with my team VOD service for leading local entertainment TV provider in 2009.

We were amazed at provided flexibility by ffmpeg. In no time we were able to hook up our back-end logic and go.

We opted to "risk" with Nginx and Jquery and delivered successfully on the front-end.

The funny thing is that at the time a lot of commercially available "solutions" were a total joke and costed an arm and a leg.

Yes, I have dedicated financial backup just for this “procedure”. At any given moment, I can stop and reevaluate my professional options and life choices.

Vacation is not the full description.

Usually, this means to abandon work and create enough personal space for deep meditation and entertaining activities. After this the answers come naturally and with minimal bias.

In 2019 I closed my company, middle size web-dev shop.

I used the pandemic situation to reevaluate and rearrange my life. Turns out that I want to do product design and development. And all the experience as a business owner, product manager, etc, is coming handy when crafting new products.

I have survived several burnouts in those years of pushing myself harder. Learned my lessons.

Balance is the key. Physical and mental health are most important things, everything else comes secondary.

After my first burnout, I created a simple priority checklist, which I apply every year.

It is simple:

1. Health.

2. Fulfillment / Meaning.

3. Experience.

4. Monetary reward.

5. Career development.

If something in this list changes priorities, I stop, take a vacation and reevaluate.

You cannot be happy if you are not healthy.

You cannot be healthy if you don’t have enough sleep and proper nutrition.

You cannot have enough sleep if your nervous system is on overload.

You cannot work meaningfully if you don’t “play" regularly.

>People like Rachael (who obviously love this work at their very core) are doomed to end up a jaded curmudgeon unless they 1) start their own company 2) join a tiny company. Big tech is hell. Make your money and GTFO.

Absolutely correct. This reflects perfectly with my professional career. In the early 2000s I worked at a place which started hiring "bozos" in frightening rate. They killed an internal project for CMS (I was the PM) and proceed to hire external agency for content management, because - "Nobody of our clients is willing to do this complicated technical stuff".

After a heated "debate" with the "bozos", management and CEO of the company, I quitted my well payed job. I created my own company and hired all of my team. For the next 10 years most of my ex company clients came to me by simple word of mouth marketing.

This tool has a potential to change my product building workflow in revolutionary way.

Congrats, you not only solve a big problem but introduce real advancement in UX with no-code option. Added value from real human QA is a wonderful bonus point.

A mob of angry puritans attacked me in the comments and over-reported my act photos for abuse etc. (photos were black & white medium film and abstract as can possibly be - with no nipples in sight and no sexual provocation in composition).

Someone (I assume moderators) deleted my posts minutes after upload.

After several attempts to clear the issue and no reaction from Instagram I decided that it is not worth the effort. Mind you, at the time all influencers were using the platform in sexually subjective ways with no problems at all.

Since then, I don't share on any platform my act photography, painting or drawing work.

It is available only for exhibitions and print medium (albums).
