There is a growing discontent around the current state of the World Wide Web.

Web 1.0 felt like a place of freedom and creativity. Maybe I’m being romantic, for sure had to have its issues… But remember the whimsical sites in Geocities, the simplicity of email discussion lists or the anonymity of IRC?

Ephe is a markdown paper to organize your daily todos and thoughts. OSS, and free. No installs. No sign-up. No noise. You get one page, write what matters today.

  • Most note and todo apps are overloaded.
  • I believe, just one page is enough for organizing.

This is some really good advice! And it also doubles as being a capsule for all sorts of web-related history.

This has a really convenient csv with all the available formats, etc.

I’m really,really tempted to create a SPLADE vectorization database of these textbooks. Especially in the context of Google search so heavily deteriorating.

Sad times. I think the move forward is curated search engines, but the Open Source community hasn’t budged much from YacY irt decentralized/federated search engines.

Ugh, I wish messaging apps supported SVG format.

Think: Instead of using OCR you could simply select from the underlying text!

You could also press the links, etc.

SVGs are also just significantly smaller than images in size, anyhow.

I know there are security concerns, but I’m sure that’s a solvable problem with an intentionally limited subset of the SVG format, or such.

From the creators of “This is a teenager”, comes this neat little visualization. I like this publications content!
