This is such a great post. I've already shared it with multiple people.

Bangkok vs Kuala Lumpur? As an expat, choosing between Bangkok and KL turned out to be much harder than I thought. While I've mostly made up my mind, I wanted to do a brain …

My Mobile Work Setup This year, I've spent time in over 8 countries with just one small backpack (ULA Dragonfly 30L). See my previous post about my one bag setup. Living …

I don’t have a permanent office. Most of the time I’m working out of different coworking spaces around the world. Here’s a minimal mobile setup I’ve refined to 2.3 kg that’s been with me across 8+ countries this year.

Nice! I'm testing it here → eric.fun
Need proper HTML meta and og tags.

Great update! @leaflet.pub is turning out to be a fun platform.

Looks great so far. Another +1 for custom domain support.

Obsidian yesterday announced Bases which makes them more comparable to Notion: bsky.app/profile/obsi...

Logseq is also releasing their DB re-write soon.

I recently gave a friend the same feedback. As a non-technical user, he wanted to set up Wordpress site to serve a 4-page site. My recommendation was to use Lovable.dev to create a single html file, then create and modify other pages via Chatgpt/Gemini. No need for a CMS and can be free.

Do you have an idea which distro you'd try?

US has amazing national parks, with great diversity too. Probably my favorite thing about living in the US was national parks and the wilderness.

Cloudflare is one of my favorite companies, and their dev services like Workers, D1, and R2 are super interesting. But almost everything they do is really focused on JS/TypeScript, even their CLI which is all Node. I just wish #Cloudflare wasn't so locked into the JS ecosystem, which I can’t stand.

What's your overall impression of the DB version so far? It looks overly complex and not intuitive. Feels like they'll need another year to make it usable for the average user.

Desktop version can be downloaded here for testing (Artifacts section at the bottom). Not ready for production yet. github.com/logseq/logse...

Definitely important attributes... My non-negotiable became good mobile app / sync as I'm on the move these days and don't have access to laptop some days.

I played with silverbullet.md and loved it. I'm considering self hosting it at some point. Similar to Obsidian but simpler and open-source.

Great write up. What’s your overall impression of the DB version so far? Seems like there’s lots of room for usability improvements.

Logseq was my favorite for 4 years but I just switched back to Workflowy. I had to give up privacy and local-first but needed a perfect outliner that’s simple and smooth.

Such a joy to use Zed! Awesome team. Still not my main editor yet but it’s getting close.

Great news! Tapbots makes amazing apps.

Great tip! Just implemented for my domain.

1Password is the perfect example of enshittification. Even the free version of Bitwarden works better for me now. I also liked Proton Pass, but they need more time to add and enhance features.

Very happy to see #Bluesky is getting serious traction now. I want this tech to succeed.

- Their current backlog is endless. No reason to prioritize this.

- Threads' user base is the least technical text-based social media users (compared to Twitter, Mastodon, Bluesky). Over 95% won't understand, or care.

I don't think it'll happen.

I'm highly doubtful that Threads will embrace Fediverse and Activityhub.

- Threads gains absolutely nothing from Fediverse / ActivityPub integration.

- It's major technical burden to implement and maintain for zero benefit.

Not likely :)

Cloudflare, Route 53 etc. all seem to have hard limits on number of DNS records you can have. I wonder why.

Mine was AOC. She's special.

Resmi hesap mi acaba...

Are you planning to make it easier for people to enter their medical info? Entering those vitals seem like a high-friction. I remember seeing Chatgpt being able to parse unstructured copy/paste blood panel data accurately.

Interesting. How does the engagement compare for posts that don't make it to explore/what's hot tabs?

I think they shouldn’t do DMs at all unless it’s E2E encrypted. If they can somehow integrate to Signal, that would be even better.
