Feels like a mobile website that was never optimized for desktop usage.

Hail to the Thief is a goated album. The live album of HTTT performances that Radiohead released last year is a pretty great listen as well, band sounds like they're on fire.

Normally I'd laugh when I see a silly typo like that, but nowadays it's refreshing to see a thoughtfully human-written article with little imperfections here and there.

And at that point you might as well just code the thing yourself.

Just finished reading the README, it was refreshing to read something that wasn't generated by an LLM for a change.

That's correct, same person.

I understood that reference.

Yeah I'm surprised they didn't mention Fire TV or even Alexa in addition to Kindle.
Not to mention, the typo in the word "equivalent".

I legit can't tell if this article is satire, or not.
I think it's a FreeBSD variant, if I remember correctly.

Thank you for writing this piece, resonated a lot with me. Looking forward to reading more from you in the future.

The project's readme states "Proudly written without AI." Love seeing this.

It looks like changing the `~large` in the image filename to `~orig` gets you the full size versions.
Rare Replay is another exclusive that comes to mind.

Looks like Redwood, sadly, is no longer under active development as of a couple months ago.
I'd recommend you change the name of your project sooner rather than later, Tasker is a well established app in the Android power user community for automating various tasks (albeit without AI)

It shows up as a Christmas tree for me on my phone in portrait mode. In landscape mode the braille is messed up.

As a Kotlin multiplatform developer myself, this is wonderful to see!

If you're using an HDMI converter then that's most likely your reason for Hydro Thunder not working. Hydro Thunder notoriously doesn't work well with VGA output (HDMI converters for the Dreamcast usually convert the VGA signal)
