Preparing a new release of #BlogCat

https://blogcat.org

Finally added support for image upload to both #bluesky and #mastodon. Am quite happy with my progress.

I been enjoying #soapmaking for a couple years now. I love listening to audiobooks while letting myself go a bit automatic making cute soaps and massage bars. Here are some of favourites I made.

(Also attempting to images with alt text from #BlogCat for the first time, let's hope it works)

I used Userland Frontier back in the 90s. Alongside Runtime Revolution, they were my tools of choice. Runtime Revolution for desktop apps, Frontier for Web stuff.

It was a better way to work.

jesus H christ and all the other gods, are people really giving Claude and other agentic cloud-based AIs access to their filesystem?!

Holy fuck! WHY?!

Find it disgusting to see some names supporting DHH on his little rant.

When you say "Everybody is welcome" in support to someone who's sprouted racist bs online, what you're saying is "racists are welcome and everyone else can fuck off"

What the fucking fuck that #Chrome doesn't support `background.scripts` in its Manifest v3 for #WebExtensions.

That is stupid.

If you wanna know why I haven't released BlogCat for Google Chrome and by consequence for Vivaldi, Edge and the other Chromiums, it is because of that.

thank you! Just implemented a feature you might enjoy andregarzia.com/2025/09/link...

Implemented linkgraphs in BlogCat, totally stole the feature from Artemis. It looks super cool.

The screenshots linked here are from Artemis and from BlogCat showing the same feature.

I wrote a bit about it in andregarzia.com/2025/09/link...

#blogging #blog

Made three releases of my #blogging tool #blogcat this week:

https://blogcat.org

It provides a calmer experience than many other clients and also allows you to post to microblogging services.

It is a #WebExtension so it integrates nicely into #Firefox

Thanks for the shout out. Loving the options you mentioned there. Calmer experiences are on the rise. The more the merrier.

I love RSS. Here are some RSS Readers that I think are doing something cool/different:
-@blogtrottr.com: My favorite, rss-to-email. Convenient, where I'm already at, great support
-BlogCat, by @andreshouldwrite.bsky.social: Built for Firefox, made for a calm experience, integrated blogging features

If perplexity buys Google Chrome and fills it with AI bullshit, will people move back to Firefox? I wonder...

Come on #edinburgh, that is not even a good band.

Valve just updated their Steam rules to ban content that “may violate rules set by payment processors or banks.” Sounds boring. It’s not. It’s the quiet normalization of financial censorship and it’s going to hurt LGBTQ+ games and devs

I been using lobste.rs for years. I also enjoy tilde.news.

Woman in long dress is looking out the window.

I used to enjoy browsing Hacker News a lot 10 years ago. It was a good place to find new stuff and be excited about computing. These days, it is just AI bullshit on top of AI bullshit.

I has become so unusable, I'm tempted to write a WebExtension to remove AI entries.

* #YouTube playables.
* #Netflix playables.

When will these stupid platforms understand that no one wants to use them to play games.
