I'm the family IT person and I wanted a simple way to block ads and malware on my non-technical family member's computers. I already have uBlock origin installed on most of their browsers, but that only covers the one surface.So I built HostBlock which is a macOS menu bar app that lets you subscribe to domain blocklists and have it update /etc/hosts to locally block those domains system-wide....
Any specific artist brands you'd want to see added?
I wasn’t trying to do the impossible and find the absolute perfect real-world color match. Just something close given the limited palette of acrylic paint brands I could find locally.
It's definitely just an approximation of the real-world color, but I figured that if that's the RGB value the manufacturer used, it's probably pretty close.

I use the YouTube API to update the thumbnail for that video.The text is also truncated to 65 characters and I have comment filtering for the video set to "strict"It all runs...
A few times a week I find myself turning to diff checker websites to compare snippets of text or JSON, but I've always found their UIs clunky or unnecessarily complicated.

Sometimes I'd go to bed at 1AM and wake up around 7AM and feel so refreshed and awake. What's up with that? Turns out, getting 8+ hours of sleep is less important than waking up aligned with your body's sleep cycles, which for most people is every 90 minutes.
I created Wake Up Time so I could quickly see the best wake up times before setting my alarm each night. Because time math is hard... Especially when you're tired.
