OMG. Brent Simmons (of NetNewsWire fame) linked to FeedCity and had nice things to say about it:

This one is not just no-unread-counts but also social, with outbound RSS. Very cool!

Thank you very much, Brent! 🥹

Yesterday was another Homebrew Website Club.

Nina showed us her newly created Instagram-Archive site using Memento Mori. She also detailed how cumbersome it is to delete one’s Instagram account. We then talked about Dark Patterns for a while.

AI has also always been a topic again. How it can for example be useful to get away from big tech and host services yourself. Jochen told us about how he does just that now. What he previously didn’t have the time for now became possible. He also uses AI to add new feature to the website of his Python Podcast.

We also talked a bit about podcasting and available apps as well as how one might get away from large music streaming services like Spotify. And we made our first money transfer using Wero (instead of Paypal).

The next HWC DUS will be on Mar. 17th.

Jo and I are trading blog post titles. The title Jo chose for me is “A perfect day.” What would my perfect day look like? Reflecting on this question, I started to think about the days that have brought me the most joy in the past. I realised that the days that stick out in ...

Scotland’s brightness levels

I am trading blog post titles with Joe. He gave me a few suggestions for what to write about. I chose the title “Scotland’s brightness levels”. Place is a recurring theme when I am writing. Where am I? What do I see? What I write about Nature is what I see here in Scotland. ...

Rhythm

I have been thinking about the rhythm of my writing recently. I wrote in my drafts: I have spent much of this evening writing. I started by working on a draft of a post about clouds that I wrote on my phone using Apple Notes while waiting for the bus. I then explored a few mo...

IndieWeb wiki pages I really like

I visit the IndieWeb wiki almost every day. The wiki is maintained by the IndieWeb community, documenting everything from interfaces for creating posts to POSSE. I was thinking that, like all wikis, there are pages that are almost “hidden gems” in the sense that, while they ...

“What's dispiriting is the (lack of) process and care: take someone's carefully crafted work, run it through a machine to wash off the fingerprints, and ship it as your own. This isn't a case of being inspired by something and building on it. It's the opposite of that. It's taking something that worked and making it worse.”

Cut off a significant portion of my ring finger‘s tip with a potato peeler today. Can’t recommend. 😂 TIL that an Adrenaline compress will staunch a wound – and that’s what cutmen in boxing use as well.
