Re:Herdr is joining Y Combinator. The runtime stays open on Thursday August 06, 2026 @10:01PM (#49205120)
Ya, I'm not sure even that would be enough though to be honest.

I am kinda imagining a structure for a theoretical dev tooling business that might be OSS Core, and Source Available additional features. I'm not sure if there is a generally accepted definition of Source Available, but I don't necessarily mean that the source is just out in public on the web. It could be sent to you when you purchase the product, and could maybe even be sold on an upgrade sort of model, where you pay again for the next "big version" of the software, like the good old days of desktop software.

Re:Herdr is joining Y Combinator. The runtime stays open on Thursday August 06, 2026 @09:57PM (#49205091)
It's not anywhere near making PR ready (and never will be) but here is the branch [1]. I make no promises on it's functionality, and I only periodically rebase Herdr's latest over it. I have been using the jj change for awhile though with no issues. So YMMV.

You can also see the combined output of all my changes at [2], which Jujutsu makes so damn easy via megamerges.

Re:Herdr is joining Y Combinator. The runtime stays open on Thursday August 06, 2026 @07:15PM (#49203920)
It's super important to me. I use Herdr every day and I maintain a whole stack of changes. From minor comfort tweaks that are just preference, to several larger changes like add jj workspace support and a WIP web based view (powered by xterm.js).

This is not the only project like this too. Many of my devtools are piling up changes. I try to upstream changes where it makes sense, but many times they are either very bespoke, or I can't be bothered to do them "right" (for example for the jj workspace change, I just ripped out git support, so I didn't have to futz with syncing the symantics up between the two and config and whatnot).

LLMs have made making personal changes to devtools so effortless that I am now extremely hesitant to use any non source available software at all.

I have been thinking about a possibly expanded market for source available software. I don't really care what the license of the software is, I'm not sharing it at all or using it commercially, so it's kinda a moot point. If someone made some amazing software and sold the source I'd definitely consider it. I know there are all sorts of practical business problems with that, but that aside I'm curious if others feel the same?

Re:What happened to Mint? on Thursday January 23, 2020 @11:11PM (#22135335)
I'll just throw in an extra 1up here. I am a very happy customer of Lunch Money. It's the only app I have ever stuck with for any amount of time.

It is still early days for the product, bur it is rapidly improving and the creator is very good and communicate. The couple of times I have requested support (mostly for feature suggestions), she has gotten back to me very quickly.

Looking forward to it!
I have been contemplating making a similar thing for years now. Nothing I have used really has gotten me all the way.

Is it going to be open source?

Re:A forgotten hero stopped the My Lai massacre 50 years ago on Saturday September 22, 2018 @01:37AM (#18044657)
It is pretty nifty. They have a Chrome extension too, but that seems like massive overkill so I threw together a quick bookmarklet [1]. You need a decently new browser to use it.

  fetch(
    "https://outlineapi.com/parse_article?source_url=" +
      encodeURIComponent(window.location)
  )
  .then(res => res.json())
  .then(body => {
    if (body.error) {
      return alert(`Outline Bookmarklet Error: ${body.error}`);
    }
    window.location.href = `https://outline.com/${body.data.short_code}`
  })
  .catch(err => {
    alert("Outline Bookmarklet Error. See console for details.");
    console.error(err);
  });
Or minified to be copied directly into bookmark:

  javascript:fetch("https://outlineapi.com/parse_article?source_url="+encodeURIComponent(window.location)).then(o=>o.json()).then(o=>{if(o.error)return alert(`Outline Bookmarklet Error: ${o.error}`);window.location.href=`https://outline.com/${o.data.short_code}`}).catch(o=>{alert("Outline Bookmarklet Error. See console for details."),console.error(o)});

Exactly. That was a chills down the the spine moment.

I will definitely be taking a closer look at the quotes in my passport when I get home today.

Signal is down for me right now. I am also seeing lot's of people mentioning the same thing on Twitter.

I had a similar reaction. I had to double check the timestamps when I first read them. That this was all handled so fast is extremely impressive to me.
It was a great article. On a side note, holy shit is it rare to even hear of other guys named Giovanni, much less as similar a last name (I'm Giovanni d'Amelio).
