    Thanks for the reply. If the books were sold in Tunisian dinar (via Stripe), would you still have the same issues?

    We sell ebooks in every country, including Tunisia - https://www.ebooks.com/en-tn/ . I understand that the price of books is sometimes prohibitive, but it's largely outside our con…

    I agree, it's one of my best value subscriptions. It's especially good if you host a lot of domains, you can link 100 custom domains to a single Fastmail account.

    I thought the same when loaded it on mobile. When I went to the desktop version, it is kind of glitchy and the images overlap the text: https://i.postimg.cc/bJgjcDD1/desktop.png

    I'm building a platform for people in my rare fruit meetup group exchange scions. I've never built a react native app, but with the help of Claude it seems possible to build for th…

    We have one near my place that I'm a member of, it's run by volunteers. They have stuff outside of tools too (camping/cooking gear). You can view the stuff their inventory before y…

    Ebooks.com has a filter for DRM free ebooks, unfortunately it's only a small subset of publishers that allow it currently

    I read Phoenician Secrets: Exploring the Ancient Mediterranean by Sanford Holst recently and found it extremely interesting.

    We're a dotnet shop and we're looking to rewrite our iOS and Android apps in a cross platform framework. On paper MAUI seems like the perfect fit but reading through the discussion…

    I found it a very easy and engaging read, even though my perspective of Musk has changed over time. My one criticism is that it seems a bit premature, I feel like the most interest…

    We use Bookstack to organise most info - it's easy to setup in docker and easy to find and link articles

    Yes, unfortunately this is the case (I work for ebooks.com). Most publishers require us to use DRM and Adobe DRM really sucks, but there isn't other options out there and we don't …
