Be the change you want to see!

I will open a PR for that switch though, so others can also use it! It has a lot of potential for stuff like voice.

So the most annoying thing when sitting in hyperfocus is when Spotify comes with a banger, and you need to save it or you will never find it again.

I think one of the most important parts of maintaining a project is being able to say no from time to time. You want to do one thing really well, rather than be bad at 10 things.

So why would someone use their websocket via their framework rather than using their own implementation?

Automate the reminder! Turn on all the lights in the bedroom at 23:30 just to remind you you need to do your duty!
