   Thanks for the kind words! I suppose if you use Firefox and already know how to use Pocket, this may be true. I've never used Pocket, though. I would imagine the same is true of many of the potential users of Link Lock who want to hide

   I created this as a complement to another tool I made almost a year ago called Link Lock.[1] Link Lock securely password-protects URLs by performing AES encryption client-side, inside the browser. But for bookmarking purposes, there were ma

    Storing information in the URL itself is a grossly underutilized way to allow users to control their own data. If data is stored in the URL, there is often no need to send it to a server. And since URLs are so widely-supported, sharing the

    I'm currently taking a screenwriting class (hence finding and posting this link), and have been looking for exactly this sort of thing so that I can version-control my assignments. Thanks!

    From what I've heard, the exact opposite is true: if you don't have the proper formatting, your screenplay is evaluated exclusively based on the (improper) print design since nobody will actually read it.

    Thank you for reading the code! The comments will be helpful for me when I have to fix something six months from now, but I'm glad to hear they're useful to others, too :) Querying that many entries processes (according to the Big

    The extension retrieves a (few) Bloom filter(s). In case you're unfamiliar, Bloom filters are data structures approximately equivalent to condensed representations of all of the post URLs. The code uses GitHub Actions to generate Bloom

    Thanks for the links! I am not sure how well Xor Filters would fit here because they're meant to be immutable, whereas the extension has a content script that adds any submissions from /new or the front page to the Bloom filter so

    I haven't investigated this (or considered Merkle Trees), but will follow up if/when I get a chance to test it. I've tried to design the code so it shouldn't be too hard to do a drop-in replacement of Bloom filters with

    This is a good idea, thanks! The only feature I haven't added but eventually plan to is a right-click context menu with a bunch of additional actions. For example "search by page title" (as opposed to URL), "see all past

    Thanks! Extensions are powerful and dangerous, so I wanted to do everything possible to make it easy to read the code for this one and understand how it works. I also really like using <details> tags so that interested users can dive

    This is cool! It reminds me of a paper I read in 2017 in which the author creates a C89 compiler that compiles to printable ASCII by using similarly limited instructions. http://tom7.org/abc/
