  • kerfuffle

    [Website] Pick some random media!

  • Thank you!

    I've thought about it. Honestly the most likely thing is that I'll make a standalone site for media reviews and consolidate everything. That's what I did for this (https://github.com/xavdid/kerfuffle; currently offline) and I was very pleased with the result. ".review" is a TLD, so I spin it up under something there. :)

  • truman-show

    Truman Show is a quick image search program designed to be hotkeyed via AUTOHOTKEY to search the google image repository and copy to clipboard in a fast access manner.

  • https://specularrealms.com

    The site doesn't have a particularly stylistic design, and my writing tends to focus on theistics and cognitive philosophy.

  • tailwindcss-typography

    Beautiful typographic defaults for HTML you don't control.

  • Thank you!

    The typography/layouts come from Tailwind Typography [1]. I like their defaults.

  • flashblaze-astro

    Personal website built using Astro

  • kit

    Lightweight, modular framework for scalable web development in Clojure (by kit-clj)

  • Here’s me: https://luciano.laratel.li/

    I was happy I could get the domain! Pretty simple hand-rolled server-rendered site using the kit-clj[0] and neat-css[1]. Main backbone of the site is here[2]. I used to use a CLJS SPA but it was overkill and not as nice to use (load times particularly.)

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  • Rss2Email

    I'm still a student so nothing too cool in there but slowly getting better.

    I also relatively recently published an RSS aggregator that sends emails here if anyone wants to give feedback https://github.com/AntoniosBarotsis/Rss2Email

    Cant wait to find cool blogs in these replies

  • epub-wordcount

    [CLI] count the words in an epub file

  • Thank you for the kind words!

    I find the Goodreads UI _incredibly_ busy. Here's what I saw when I logged in just now: https://cdn.zappy.app/76d7cba6b409f0aa9310214401d11db9.png

    It's nice to see what my friends are reading, but it's always trying to recommend me books, sell me things, etc. It makes sense (it's why Amazon bought them) but it I found it mostly got in the way of what I wanted out of it- a spreadsheet with pre-filled information. Also it's dumb, but I wanted to rate books on a 4-point scale, and theirs is out of 5.

    I used to use a gSheet for this (with columns for title, author, day start/end, and review), but I wanted a way to source rich info. So I combined Zapier, the google books API, and an npm package I wrote to count the words in an epub (https://github.com/xavdid/epub-wordcount/) and fed all that info into Airtable. It sounds like a lot of work, but I set it up years ago and it's been happily humming along.

    Now I have exactly the tracking system I want, and it's not at the whim of decisions on any product roadmaps.
