cjlm··on We need a flowchart editor that doesn't give you carpal tunnel
flowchart.fun [0] may scratch the same itch – I just interviewed the sole developer [1]

cjlm··on Show HN: Bike – macOS Native Outliner
I'm a big fan of Workflowy [0] but I've been keeping an eye on a Bike-like outliner called Zavala [1] – written with Swift and already has an iOS app.

cjlm··on I made a virtual bookshelf
Your repo gave me the inspiration to do the same with Eleventy [0] Thank you!

cjlm··on Ask HN: Share your personal site
https://cjlm.ca – currently sporting a newspaper-style layout inspired by http://www.breckyunits.com/
cjlm··on Start Self Hosting
Dismayed with the brittleness of Pinboard and the bloat of most alternatives I turned to self-hosting an excellent bookmark server called linkding[0] on a Raspberry Pi. Very happy with the result.

cjlm··on Rejection Therapy (2011)
I think about Rejection Therapy [0] a lot. Being impervious to rejection has to be some sort of superpower.

cjlm··on Using hamburger menus? Try sausage links (2019)
Zach Leatherman has my favorite hamburger menu implementation on his homepage: https://zachleat.com
cjlm··on Shot-scraper: automated screenshots for documentation, built on Playwright
As an alternative I’m a big fan of the screenshot service from 11ty – very easy to use as part of a static site

cjlm··on Graphviz: Open-source graph visualization software
I love this and wrote about it in my newsletter on network thinking [0] – thank you!

cjlm··on My Personal Note Taking Journey
As someone who built a small tool [0] to send notes to Workflowy [1] from my phone this is an interesting read. Pretty savvy to move over to Logseq.

Kinopio is also such a delightful tool. I wrote about it a while ago [2] in my network thinking newsletter, source/target

cjlm··on Notion Acquires Automate.io
is there a magical tool for the 100 <= employee <= 150 gap?
cjlm··on The gloves are off, the pants are on
The background to a lot of this skepticism is outlined well in Rutger Bregman's Humankind [0]. I just finished it [1] and enjoyed it.

cjlm··on E-Ink Typewriter
Nice project. I recently achieved my e-ink typewriter dream with an Onyx Boox paired with a Jelly Comb keyboard. More expensive than using an old Kobo but pretty flexible.
cjlm··on Smart Phone, Dumb Terminal
I picked up the delightful Jelly Comb [0] for exactly this reason.

cjlm··on Tailwindo: Convert Your Bootstrap CSS to Tailwind CSS
Might as well migrate to universal.css[0] while you're at it

cjlm··on Will Apple Mail threaten the newsletter boom?

cjlm··on The Art Market Often Works in Secret. Here’s a Look Inside
In what sense? As a snapshot of time or as real art ©?
cjlm··on Amulet – a short poem with a lucky SHA-256 hash
Ha, I like your style – great minds think alike:

8⃣ = = = = = = : 37f52a074751239fd88888116130302ddb5074212bee34ecff0f1db531f43199

edit: welp, the unicode was borked. It's the number 8, scorpion, amulet, eight-ball, octopus, stop sign, spider

cjlm··on Amulet – a short poem with a lucky SHA-256 hash
I minted a few amulets and wrote about it here [0]

My rarest I've found is probably 🇸🇲 [1]

cjlm··on Launch HN: Superpowered (YC W21) – Calendar in your menu bar
117 comments and Dato[0] isn't mentioned. Works great for me, I replaced the Fantastical menu bar with it 6 months ago. One-time cost.

cjlm··on Twitter acquires Revue
This space is quite interesting. You have the gorilla at the picnic (Substack), the stagnating old timers (TinyLetter), the member management platforms (Memberful, probably Mailchimp), the link dump creators (curated.co) and the spunky indie upstarts (Buttondown).
cjlm··on Ask HN: What are you working on?
