I never intended it to be a side project, I just liked the extension and started contributing heavily to it, to the point where I became the maintainer for the next several years.
I get about that amount per month in GitHub Sponsorships. Not nearly worth the amount of time I put into it, but it’s relatively effortless work. It makes my regular work on other GitHub projects more enjoyable (due to the features that Refined GitHub adds)
The fun part is that they completely botched an experience that iOS can delivery natively. I built a mini app to extract the HSL stream from a URL and have iOS play it. It usually solves my problems with it: https://arte.vercel.app/
Look into chrome.storage.session, they created it explicitly to allow in-memory storage for those scenarios. Not as easy as just setting a property, but good enough.
Italy has SPID. It’s a federated login system based on your fiscal code (every Italian has one). You can use it to log into any government service and potentially banks and such. If you do lose access to your 2FA (required, it’s your phone), you can:
- re-verify yourself with the provider, with a real ID
- get a new ID with another provider, which still points to the same fiscal code
As a global solution, it would be great to have a “real identity provider” that offers this but also allows me to log into services without giving them too much information.
Apple ID seems relatively good for this given that it lets me hide the address and change my name during registration.
Digital menus aren't bad, but very few can implement them effectively. I do like having access to the menu for the whole dinner though and not have to wait for the waiter, ever.
In general, yeah, give me a piece of paper, there are far more people who can print some text than developers who can make a decent menu page — and it's quite sad, given it should just be a single, flat HTML page with an "index"
If this becomes illegal, it will pretty much mark the death of free/open ML and its sets.
If you can't train on data before asking for permission, the data set becomes sparse. Thje only people who will be able to afford this will be, you guessed it, established giants who can build their own sets.
