Cool idea. It would be nice to be able to quickly pull up a part in context in various designs across the internet to answer “how did other folks solve this on a board that works?”
Thanks! 100% agree. It's the "board that works" part that might be tricky with open source designs.

Just out of curiousity, do you signal that you are going to turn left when you slow down compared to the average of the other drivers?
Irrelevant. They're going 45+ in a 20mph zone.
I've been working on an app that will use ai to decorate my Anki cards with audio/example sentences/images. The more I get into it though, the more I think I may just end up writing my own flashcard app. I feel like most of the project has been spent wrestling with AnkiConnect, while the fun stuff has been fairly simple.
I've been thinking about the same some time ago. But after a while I got to conclusion that Anki is pretty well designed after all. Although for what I remember Anki Connect is in form of unofficial extension. And it would seem that there is a place for an official more stable API. Anyway I never got beyond thinking about it. Just to let you know you are not alone, and you can ping me if you ever decide to do somethi…
I'm still working on Shepherd, a book discovery platform aimed at feeding readers' curiosity. Later this year, I am developing a tool to bring your to-be-read pile to life in some cool ways and improve the accuracy of our topic/genre system (plus adding themes, tropes, and moods). https://shepherd.com/ Our reader's fav reads of 2024: https://shepherd.com/bboy/2024?only-published
Silly question: How did you get ownership of that domain? It is a great brand name!

Yes, I have also bought a lot of tools which I never needed before in my life. And like you, I'm also usually going for the lower end price-wise because chances are that I will not ever need them again after our reno. And frankly, most of the time the tools are completely fine for me. Interestingly, there already were a number of times where a tool came in handy that I had bought as some point in the past not when I…
The thing is Germany, that the quality work is nowadays rare. There is good chance, that the windows will be installed the way you described, the edges plastered and no way to control what's done. German procedure is called "RAL Montage" for it, looks nice in theory, but it takes too long for average "professional". I would say, that picking any window with tripple glas is okay anywhere in Europe. And then comes next…
But there definitely are good craftsmen out there, and generally the education they receive today is much higher than one or two generations ago. But, unfortunately, it's true that "you get what you pay for", which makes high quality work often pretty much unaffordable for many. That's the big reason I'm getting myself dirty at our house every day.
There are some jobs that I can do at least as good as hired labor, if not better, but there are other jobs where a qualified worker will give me a better result in the end. You gotta pick your battles.
Still mostly working on my gaming-curated newsletter The Gaming Pub - https://thegamingpub.com/ It's similar to Hacker Newsletter where I pick the most important news, features, reviews, etc of the week and send that every Friday. The gaming world has a lot of stuff going on and I always found that there was a missing newsletter to curate the important stuff from all the noise. The challenge at the moment is growing…
