I’ve been using Yaak for a few weeks now and it’s great.

I bounce around API clients a lot because the UX just never feels right, they always get in the way or start to feel clunky sooner or later.

With Yaak it feels natural, it’s clean and simple and is a joy to use.

I’m looking forward to seeing it grow and improve further.

I just hope as its feature set grows it can hold on to that simplicity. Hopefully the plugin system can be used to bridge any gaps without overloading the main app.

I don’t think this comment does justice to fly.io.

They have incredible defaults that can make it as simple as just running ‘git push’ but there isn’t really any magic happening, it’s all documented and configurable.

I tend to go the opposite way and have the default behaviour not actually make any changes and require passing `--commit` to actually do something.

I feel it’s safer for scripts that have irreversible (or difficult to reverse) actions.

I’ve only just started using it but https://solito.dev/ seems to do exactly that.

I’m new to React Native but I think the main benefit is that it can make a native app instead of just a web view. You can have transitions between screens and use native menus, for example.

Take a look at the 3 videos here: https://solito.dev

Solito is a thin wrapper around React Native and next.js so make it easier to share as much code as possible between the website and the native apps but still have the apps actually behave like native apps.

You can use obsidian to just edit files on disk and handle syncing yourself (eg. With Nextcloud, syncthing, Dropbox)

I've got no use for it now but damn this used to be such a pain point in an old job. Looks great!

Do you use firefox? I think by default it uses UTC to prevent fingerprinting.

The site is showing the correct timezone for me on safari.

A few people telling you that you’re wrong when you’re correct, a lot of Scots (myself included) do not like to identify as British.

Yes, Scotland is within the island of Britain but many of us (though not all) identify as Scottish, not British.

This seems to come up a lot online and I wonder what percentage of people making the corrections are actually Scottish…
