   Installed the Firefox extension, this is pretty great! Reminds me so much of that desktop game from Windows 98. Think it was this https://gamia-archive.fandom.com/wiki/Desktop_Destroyer_Game

   I'm a fan of PocketCasts as my podcast app on Android. It was bought by Automattic in 2021.

   Now we need the HN mods to come in and edit the title of this thread, I had the same thought as OP when I first saw it lol

   I came in and thought it had something to do with Angular since `ng` is a popular pre/post-fix for Angular libraries.

   I just added this as a search engine in Firefox, thanks for the heads-up. For reference, I added this URL: https://noai.duckduckgo.com/?q=%s&noai

   I don't have any way to prove it but this was no AI hallucination, a completely true story and human generated site (there is a link to the GitHub on there). I do appreciate your thoughts and I too hope I'm not being fooled by an

    Thanks for creating this, it fit perfect for a tiny web site I made[0]. Hits just the right mix of usability and nostalgia and makes me want to use it for more projects. [0]: https://www.mathsheets.net/

    Are you also using HealthEquity for your HSA? I'm the same boat, they're forcing passkeys on me. I can still login using my employer's SSO but I've been putting off setting up the passkey until I have to.

    I like this, I'm often browsing new fonts to load on my Kindle for reading, or different monospace fonts, so this might help. Would be nice to filter out material icon fonts. Using only monospace filter, icons showed up like every thir

    I'm in the same boat. We've been using PrimeNG for several apps at my job, and until we find a suitable replacement, we'll be stuck on using Angular 21. That being said, a group did fork PrimeNG, and plan on maintaining it (n

    I'm sorry you're dealing with this. I had an orange tabby also named Kiki for most of my childhood through early adulthood, 16 years. He suffered from kidney failure and it was a sad day when we had to put him down. May you have p

    I'm curious about your Android method, just to see if it's something I want to explore as a solution.
