    Project mention: What is a C# API library that allows you to swap out analytic software as needed? | reddit.com/r/Frontend | 2021-08-03

    I hope this is the right place to ask this question because I feel this problem falls somewhere between the front and backend. Quick setup, I am the companies UX/UI Designer but I have knowledge of frontend development. My company is a small start-up of 12 people, mostly backend engineers. My coworkers have given me the task to find a C# API library that allows us to gather analytic data, but we can hot-swap analytic software without having to rewrite any code in between. The best example of what we are looking for is something like getanalytics.io but in C#. Thoughts?

    A simple web extension that redirects Twitter, YouTube, Instagram & Google Maps requests to privacy friendly alternatives.

    Project mention: Twitter’s head of consumer product fired | news.ycombinator.com | 2022-05-12

    If you want just to browse reddit then you can do that through teddit or libreddit front-end instances. And with extensions like Privacy Redirect [1] you can do it automatically.

    There are also front-ends for twitter and instagram but these seem to be most faulty - sometimes it takes a while to reach a stable instance and extension tends to overwrite manually selected instances.

    Project mention: LPT: Encrypt your offsite backups! | reddit.com/r/DataHoarder | 2021-10-30

    MEGA's webclient code is somewhere in here but their API is very opaque and unfriendly to third-party implementations, which is the main red flag that stands out to me about their service.
