I have added options in the Settings tab to disable notifications and to save the database in the exe folder.

I have just added support to specify args that will be passed to each browser. For example, the chrome --incognito flag. You'll find it in the Apps tab.

Thanks for the valuable feedback. I can add an option to disable notifications. In the meantime, On Windows 11, it's also possible to disable notifications per-app in System > Notifications. macOS has a similar mechanism. I should a

Data - All data is saved to %localappdata%/Linklever (Windows), ~/.local/share/Linklever (linux), and ~/Library/Application Support/linklever on macOS. (I see the inconsistent capitalization - will amend).

Linklever does have support for browser profiles. It should find them automatically for the major browsers.

I haven't explicitly added support for that, but that's a great idea and will consider adding that. Since it's just a matter of passing the right args to the browser, what one can do in the meantime is add a shell or Powershe

I don't know the exact answers, but this lands near building a shed vs house in your backyard.

PEs have a code of ethics by which to say, "I won't do that" and then some labor protections for that stance.

I don't disagree with this complication. One of the problems with Big Pharma is their regulatory moat. Do you think it's rent-seeking that surgeons can exclusively cut open people?

I'm all for Servo. It increases user browsing choice and resists Chrome's hegemony over web standards.

Thanks pmxi. I read that post when it trended, and it got me thinking. I then wrote a post that tries to give a framework for deciding whether to take a gig fixing vibe code. https://www.slater.dev/about-that-gig-fixing-vibe

Vibe code has a lot in common with legacy code. Low confidence to change it, low internal and external quality. Also some differences: low age-to-quantity ratio, schedule pressure, inflated expectations. It's most cost-effective to shi

Hiring influencers is not a moat. They have the power and can sell it to a competitor. It's better to directly possess the privilege to ask for the sale.

Influencer is a different idea. I'm not exactly sure how to articulate it. Your audience trusts you and you know them. An influencer just says stuff they were paid to.

The best moat is you. Study an audience for their pains and worldview and what they buy. Earn their trust through writing and freebies. Then they will want to buy because it's from you specifically. I can recommend https://3

What an aggressive tone. By the author's implied definition of compiler, a human is also a compiler. (Coffee in, code out, so the saying goes.) But code is distinct from design, and unlike compilers, humans are synthesizers of design.
