I'm building a "learn language from content" app. The idea is to have a dictionary of all the words the user knows and then teach the words in collections by loading music lyrics, subtitles, photos of text etc.

#392I'm sick of having to decide between using cloud software and using local software. Cloud software so often needs subscriptions, and if the company dies I lose access to my data. Local software isn't collaborative. I don't want to email files around to myself, or think about versions. So I'm building a software platform for local first applications on top of CRDTs. Its called Replica, though we haven't talked much ab…
I'm not sure how much this matters, but Replica is already the name of a company: https://replicastudios.com
In many places, USA including, you can have trademarks with the same names as long as you are in different markets.

Is there a way for me to subscribe to updates on this? I’d love that!

#394A music magazine to help artists and musicians not starve, and to sing the gospel psychedelic.
I too am interested in this.

#395Callstacking - a better debugger for Ruby on Rails. Records all application level method calls within your app, along with their important context. Visual nesting of the method calls allows you to easily see which methods call which. Request params, method argument values, method return values, local variable values, all are recorded. https://callstacking.com/ You no longer need to debug with binding.pry or puts stat…
Looks really cool! Do you use the CallStacking to Debug CallStacking?
Yes! :)

#396I am working on an open-source natural language search for codebases. I thought it might be interesting to be able to search for relevant classes, functions etc. when the codebases are very large. Then further I am planning on extending it to searching for git commits, PRs, issues etc.

#397This year I’m planning to do as much adventures as possible. Building more and faster. And within them do more artistic related work.
I always ignored art without understanding its part on history.

#398I'm working on a tool for OBS which allows the creation and population of graphics templates. There are tools for overlays/lowerthirds but I find they are inflexible.

I've been following the NYTimes tech development from a distance for almost 20 years. A couple of things I've picked up: 1) it helps to be the biggest 2) it helps to have rabid boosters with reputational stakes themselves, like Edward Tufte. 3) the tech group maintains the framework, but each section owns their own section layouts. 4) the tech group made a big splash ... eh, sometime between 2005 and 2009 if I recall…
Makes me think of Mike Bostock who created d3 for New York Times. Amazing stuff and definitely made me smarter to work my way through how it works. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mike_Bostock
And Rich Harris who developed Svelte while working there (and used by The New York times)

Thanks! Been eyeing up Home Assistant a lot over the last few days. Also tempted to attach a touchscreen to my raspberry pi, put it in a nice case and use that as a UI for it, though adding a web browser to the installation rules out using HAOS directly I guess? What are the reasons to prefer HAOS over installing via docker on a host system?

I don't get that part? HAOS is a Linux distribution with a pre-configured / installed version of Home Assistant. It behaves (almost - see below) like a "normal" Home Assistant installation. > What are the reasons to prefer…

I would like to have a Raspberry Pi running HA, whilst also having a web browser running on the pi with a small touch screen, showing the HA dashboard on display somewhere in the house. This is in no way a deal breaker though, I could just as easily access it through my phone or another device. I'm assuming (perhaps wrongly) that HAOS is just the daemon, and doesnt have a UI that would show on an external display? I hope that makes sense.
