"Federal Trade Commission | Protecting America's Consumers" - what about the rest of the world? Does anyone know whether it makes sense to exercise this option for non-American citizens?
I can't log in into my Google account either. And yeah, the account was free (money-wise) - judging by FTC's forms, the paid accounts are the ones that matter.
Re:Show HN: Modern Font Stacks – New system font stack CSS for modern OSs

Well done tool, thanks!
I used the system fonts at https://scrabble-solver.org and got a small performance improvement (from ~70% to ~80%) in PageSpeed Insights on mobile.
Noticeably it got my Largest Contentful Paint down from ~3.5s to ~2.2s.

It's open-source too: https://github.com/kamilmielnik/scrabble-solver
I never intended it to make any money though. What brings me a lot of joy is that some people showed genuine interest in this project.

I got Scrabble as a Christmas gift about 20 years ago and I immediately fell in love with it.
Fast forward 20 years and now I have a Scrabble Solver app (open source) in my portfolio that I'm proud of. It still needs improvements to run nicely on mobile but I'm happy with how it runs on desktop.
Maybe someone will find it useful, so I'm sharing here :)

Nice work, good job! I like the pastel colors and the design.
We run https://websktop.com which also can be used as a new tab page (it's even faster with our Chrome extension) but it's not as "dynamic" - just your bookmarks.

Might want to try Websktop as well if Raindrop is not up your alley.

Have you tried websktop.com?

Yes, mobile Firefox was great until version ~60 something. You could install all the extensions from the store. But now there's like only 18 extensions for mobile.
But there is another way to organize bookmarks like one would expect.

You can use Websktop webapp for this. That way you'll have a fully customizable grid of bookmarks. It could look like this:

Great to hear, thanks!

We thought about it before but we've de-prioritized it in favor of collaborative-editing features. But I totally understand your use-case. It would be a great addition to our product. Stay tuned! :)

A clever way to get a Twitter follower :) You win!
BTW we use a similar mechanism at websktop.com (online bookmarks manager), when you copy icons:
- if pasted into our app, all bookmark properties are preserved (text/html + "data- " attribute)
- if pasted into web app like Slack, you get a nice HTML-formatted unordered list of URLs with titles (text/html)
- if pasted into text editor, you get a simple bullet-point list (text/plain)
Unfortunately handling other MIME types gets troublesome. Still, you can do a lot of cool stuff with just text/plain & text/html.

While I understand the frustration caused by people not respecting maintainer's time, I don't understand the reluctance of looking for an additional maintainer to help curate the issues.
What's your take on this? Do you have any experience in this area?

This is likely, especially if the person they're talking to tends to leech on other people's skills & time.

Yeah, don't lock your house because the burglars have lockpicks...
No security measure guarantees full security. They're all just obstacles.

Just like a knife, this tool can be used for many purposes - some of which are good, some of which are evil.
I agree that blocking access to a news website would not be a good idea.
But protecting against Russian hackers? Good idea.
Anything in-between is arguable.
