pinboard.in

I like the privacy first approach and the web 1.0 look. The tag cloud is pretty neat too

Nicely done - thanks for making it. Not sure if I’ll ever get used to swipe actions between boards though… other than that I appreciate its simplicity. The haptics slider is a nice touch too
The headline reminds me of the (debunked) theory that ergot-contaminated grain was what incited the Salem witch trials - which was just as ridiculous

Incredible! Would like to see workout animations without having to watch a YouTube video though. Is there no currently existing free library?

I'm not entirely sure about the others but their Rambler line is definitely dishwasher safe (I own a couple).
Seems like almost every community nowadays has to have their own Discord server or private Facebook group. Often a deal-breaker for the more privacy-conscious people, unfortunately

Oh man I absolutely love the work that you guys do. I'm actually in the process of learning Ebook production using the 'Step by Step' guide on your website. I'm essentially learning it all from scratch as I have little to no programming/SWE experience (I learned a bit of Lua because of KOReader[1]) but the technical side of ebook production has always fascinated me enough to keep learning. Also because I wanted to contribute more than just typos and grammatical errors (as important as they are).
