Is there a Github API for creating issues? I also maintain a free, open-source app and would love to make it easy for a crash to give users a button that opens a Github issues form--allowing users to see what crash data is populated and su

Oh cool, it's like RSS consumption for video content (I think). I worry that since it isn't using blessed APIs it would get shut down by the platforms if it gets much traction. Also "trust me instead of them" can be a

It's funny; as I've been working on Haven[1], one of my guiding lights is what Facebook _could have been_[2]. To that end the opening section is really inspiring. This is describing a world where digital tools enhance your frien

It's worse than that. _Tree_ isn't even a well-defined thing. > Trees are not a monophyletic taxonomic group but consist of a wide variety of plant species that have independently evolved a trunk and branches as a way to tower

It's important to remember that these upscalers will hallucinate new content. Especially when law enforcement tries to use these to find suspects from blurry photos. See this example from the lower left of their front-page demo where

I've got to chime in here, because of how much this overlaps with the project I've been working on called Haven[1]. A lot of these problems go away with a decentralized/open-source private model. If your posts aren't pu

I've been working on Haven[1] as an open-source self-hostable alternative to give control back to people. I actually wrote a blog post about how the move from "see what your friends/family are doing" to "just keep

Most ebooks have embedded cover images that Calibre will automatically extract. I know of https://isbndb.com/ which has covers of some resolution but I've never tried using them before.

I ran into this building search for a family tree project. I found out that Rails provides `ActiveSupport::Inflector.transliterate()` which I could use for normalization.

What about a cross between IPFS/Nostr and RSS? RSS (or atom) already provides a widely-adopted syndication structure. All that's missing are signatures so that a middleman can re-broadcast the same content. Maybe with signatures

Has the verge always been using that typeface for article headlines? The cutouts in the letters look like ink traps[1], but are distracting as all-getup when trying to read the thing as-is. [1]: https://tosche.net/blog&#x2F
