    The main advantage Flow has over Typescript is soundness. Neither language is sound, but Flow tries a bit harder, and so there are fewer cases where you write bugs that 'should' be…

    Every Door and StreetComplete seem to do different things, with a bit of overlap. StreetComplete works by asking you for more details about certain things that are already on the m…

    I use Dvorak for 'real' keyboard typing but I don't feel an advantage from having Dvorak on my phone. If anything, having common letters spread out, and not all on the home row, is…

    Vanced is pretty good. It seems like it's just the official YouTube app but with premium for free. Newpipe is another ad-free YouTube app. https://newpipe.net/ It's FOSS and doesn'…

    I downloaded the (unofficial) Common Voice app [1] and it provides a link to some guidelines [2], which also aren't official but look sensible and seem like the best there is at th…

    This doesn't seem to work with Firefox. A blue splash fills the whole screen and stays there until I move my cursor outside the window or right click.
