Do the same for chicken eggs
Are you making a joke, or is there some use for that? (I would think of all species on earth, chickens are the easiest to get eggs for once you exclude the insects, but lack of domain knowledge means I could easily be missing something)

#682I started a newsletter that tries to recreate the original magic of stumble upon. To feature cool random stuff from across the internet. I believe the old internet is still alive and well. It's just buried under a mountain of shit. https://randomdailyurls.com/
Neat! I don't love newsletters though, any chance you may be publishing this using ActivityPub too? (Sorry if this sounds entitled, it's a genuine "do you have plans" question)

#683Tritium, the integrated drafting environment for lawyers: https://tritium.legal/ Rust cross-platform application leveraging egui. Web preview: https://tritium.legal/preview
That’s really cool. And it almost worked on mobile except I can’t side scroll. Super impressive! I always wondered what lawyers use for version control. They probably don’t call it that, but they must have a git equivalent in their world, right?

#684Building https://fallinorg.com/ , a Mac app that organizes your files. It looks inside each file to see what it’s about, then moves it to the right folder for you. Everything happens on your Mac, so nothing leaves your computer. No clouds, no servers. It already works with PDFs, text, Markdown, and many other file types. Next I’m adding ePub, and later Microsoft Office and iWork support. If you have messy folders any…
This might be what I've been looking for. On the first of every month I have Hazel put everything in ~/Downloads/yyyy-mm (previous month), with the intent to move each file to the correct project/area folder in my actual file structure. But I'm about 1.5 years behind on that... Have you looked at competitors? If so, what are they? I haven't found anything that does this as elegantly as Fallinorg.
Most tools I’ve seen (like Sparkle) sort by file name, but that only works if names are clear. Fallinorg looks inside the file itself, so it understands what the content is about before sorting. I haven’t found another Mac app doing that.
Curious — if Fallinorg could automatically handle your ~/Downloads/yyyy-mm folders each month, would that take care of the backlog for you?

#685I'm launching a new product for my clock-making business: https://DigitalHorology.com None of my clocks tell the time. They're all fully automatic GPS-enabled timepieces. For a couple of years I've been developing, hand-making, and selling these clocks that track the moon phase, the sun's position, etc. My new idea is the tide clock "NautiKron." It's getting a lot of interest from US coastal buyers.

This is perfect for cleaning out my Downloads folder and adhering to the Johnny Decimal system (as a first pass, anyway). Neat!
How do you usually decide where each file goes in your Johnny Decimal system? I’d love to hear your workflow. Thank you :)

#688Currently a one-man side project: https://laboratory.love Last year PlasticList discovered that 86% of food products they tested contain plastic chemicals—including 100% of baby food tested. The EU just lowered their "safe" BPA limit by 20,000x. Meanwhile, the FDA allows levels 100x higher than what Europe considers safe. This seemed like a solvable problem. Laboratory.love lets you crowdfund independent testing of s…
Really nice project. US regulation of food is a joke. Good luck!
I don't know if it's a joke, in the EU we do enjoy a lot more strict regulations, good and bad sometimes, but to me the US system just seems more 'reactionary' rather than proactive.

#689I’ve been suffering from migraines for the past year and the health system hasn’t been too helpful in diagnosing why. I’ve got some meds, but they’re expensive and not without side effects. So I’m building an app to try and figure out how to avoid the triggers in the first place. https://dotsjournal.app Sort of like a digital bullet journal. You setup some rows of events you want to track, then just tap for when/if t…
