legit VS privacy-redirect

for those interested, the git server i'm using is legit by icyphox: https://github.com/icyphox/legit

i talk with icyphox sometimes & he's great. i'll bring this up & see if there's interest!!

I get asked this a lot and the answer is rather simple: build projects that scratch an itch. For example, I wanted a simple way to save articles I read online without using bookmarking services etc. and I built https://forlater.email. Another example: I wanted a nice UI for my self-hosted git repos and I didn't really like any of the existing ones, so I made one myself: https://github.com/icyphox/legit. It's really just that -- see what annoys you about everyday computing and attempt to solve it!

There is an open-source browser extension called Privacy Redirect which will turn all Twitter links you click into Nitter links [0].

This also turns Reddit links into Libreddit/Teddit links, YouTube links into Invidious links, etc.

Basically you get to browse an Internet without intrusive pre-roll ads or outrage algorithms. I think based on your comment that this might be of interest to you.

I'm not sure, it only happened to me a couple of times years ago, I'm also sure I've used this site correctly on other occasions. I saw other people complaining about it, I remember this one.
