I would consider using this app on my desktop instead of Thunderbird primarily due to the improved search.

After giving it a spin for 180 seconds, the main nuisance for me is that I can't elect to "Always show images from this sender". I use that in other desktop clients to ensure the image blocking banner doesn't end up being subconsciously ignored by me, as it will then only show for new senders who I'm not familiar with and need to be more wary of.

Also, like all banners everywhere no matter how well designed, it's ugly. In fact to be honest... this is the main reason I want the option to get rid of it.

I can understand why you don't offer that in the web app if you're storing it server side for each customer's list of saved senders, but for a desktop app where it can be stored locally, I'd value it.


In Settings -> Mail Preferences you can choose to: * Show images by default for everyone (the images are always proxied via our CDN, so your IP is never leaked to the sender). * Show images for contacts by default. You can easily add new senders to contacts by clicking their name at the top of the email and selecting "Add to contacts".


Thanks! I checked Settings but for some reason only the Privacy/Security section where I thought this option might be. No wonder I didn't see it.


> Even better, for a few months the browsers themselves would highlight RSS feeds and allow you subscribe right in the browser. It was too good to last.

I use the Awesome RSS add-on for that in Firefox: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/awesome-rss/


Firefox removing RSS support was their capitulation in supporting the open web.


That is very ambiguous phrasing.


Firefox removing RSS support was the nail in the coffin for their support of the Open Web.

How long after Google Reader was canceled did FF remove RSS?


Google shut down Google Reader on July 1, 2013.

Firefox removed RSS support in version 64 on December 11, 2018, approximately 5 years and 5 months later.


Thank you! I would have never looked that up.


I slapped together a little shareable sprint calendar tool, since I was constantly finding myself having to click too many times in other tools to get what should be a simple at-a-glance overview. I now use it almost every day, during team or stakeholder chats at work.

My team runs with: https://sprintcalendar.com/3-week-sprints/start-2020-12-03/r...

I've only tweaked it a bit since then, after sharing it and getting some feedback from others who found it useful.


I wonder what it is with calendars.

This weekend I went looking for calendar widgets and after trying approximately 5 I couldn't find any where the UI felt intuitive.

I made my own instead. Maybe I'll strip out the internal stuff and share it and it can be yet another unintuitive calendar widget for the next person.


This is what I am using, with the FeedMe app on Android so I can read wherever I am. Works well.


What does FeedMe offer that's better than the freshrss mobile web view?


Yep. As an Australian in Taipei today, what struck me most was the effort involved. People have to go to the physical voting location where they are registered, which for many can mean a long trip. Traffic was subsequently awful today, driving out to Taoyuan to visit a relative ended up being a 5 hour round trip, double the usual.

People go to the effort even though voting is not compulsory - unlike where I'm from. There is also no postal or early voting. Despite all this, the turnout is 70ish percent.


Excellent. Wish I'd had this years ago for a bunch of projects! Tempted to revisit some of them now, knowing it can be this easy. Might be able to do a better job.


I just made a simple sprint calendar so I could keep track of my team's big dates more effectively at work, at a glance from my phone etc.

Take note of things in your day-to-day which annoy you.

I became a product owner for a team running 3-week sprints, and kept finding myself being caught out in stakeholder meetings - being asked for prospective delivery dates relative to our sprint cycles. I have others on my team to organise ceremony dates and handle the Jira stuff etc, I just needed something to glance at on my phone within a few seconds.

I'm not a developer by trade so it's nothing fancy, but I made https://sprintcalendar.com and I use it most days at work now. I can't see how I'd monetize it, but it was fun to put together and solved a problem I had.


This is what came to mind immediately when a friend of mine was recalling a prank (purportedly) pulled on a Sydney restaurant. The QR code sticker on various tables was replaced with a legit-looking sticker which actually took users to a rather NSFW URL instead of an ordering page.

I hope it has caused people to start thinking about what could happen beyond the jokes.


I did this yesterday as well, Aegis seems really nice. I've got Syncthing up and running with my desktop as a middleman, so my old phone can be whipped out at any time if my current one gets stolen/lost/bricked.

But now I am wondering if I should be re-seeding across all my TOTP-enabled accounts in case we continue to be drip-fed new information about how much worse this breach is getting.

I've triggered the deletion process for my Authy account - the claim is that all my info will be deleted after 30 days.
