First saw a thread on this but for Mazda in 2019 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20200335 It could be the wrong thread

I think there’s a browser extension that interacts with all the ads on a page to paradoxically(?) give someone more privacy

Tom Redman had this idea but he took feedback from Twitter. https://digg.com/2021/one-main-character-tom-redman-recipeas...

Don’t forget their cats!

I feel like my bullies have grown up to be successful while I ended up being a loser and it turned out that I wasn’t as smart as I thought I was. My hard work didn’t amount to much and the things I sacrificed for it were the things that actually mattered.

Just going to plug Dash by Kapeli. There is a windows version, but it’s not as great.

Great and inspirational article that’s pretty practical.

That said, the website is a pain to use on mobile safari and difficult to properly capture when sharing it to Notion or Bear. Notion doesn’t capture it at all, and Bear can’t capture the hyphens or line/paragraph breaks. It’s probably because of the read more button. It also has some jaggy scrolling issue where if you switch between apps it scrolls up and sometimes collapses the article or jumps to the bottom of the page.

I hope you continue to fail at dying.

And the crypto is done client-side.

I was thinking that perhaps changing the UI to where it was like tinder, so that a user could swipe articles that they wanted to read later in one direction and ones they knew they wanted to skip in the other would be at least a faster way of going through things. Either that, or making it like Inbox by Google, where someone could snooze an article for later. Information could be collected based on that and sent to the publisher so they would know which content was popular and what was not (along with which articles were shared from the app, etc). A third option would be to use a messenger UI where a user delete/archive links or favorite them, and reply to messages with their thoughts and comments for things that they find useful. I currently have a setup similar to this, but it's not very elegant.

There could be a new feed given to the user, based on that, if they feel overwhelmed with their unfiltered one, but always switch over to the regular view/feed as needed. It could be even more granular, where some feeds are algorithmically sorted or ignored based on certain keywords set by the user and others are not.

Yeah, it's open and the encryption is done in the client, so it should be available on Github.

I would be pretty mad if a website that I was supposed to trust with my data made an untrue statement about how something was taken care of, when it was not, and then publish details of the bug while cache it still out in the wild, and now exploitable by any hacker who was living under a rock during the past few months.

Email itself, as with how Google is with Gmail and Inbox,which has reminders and interactive messages (Trello, Slack, etc.), the ability to use Google Drive for large attachments, and send money to friends.

If Gmail had a publishing platform, sort of like MailChimp, in which partners from large sites could use to gather analytics and craft messages with embedded content beyond the limits of typical messages. You could:

- reset your password with a click of a button and have it generated and stored by Google.

- chop up lengthy newsletters to contain only the content that you need.

- Convert threads with other Gmail users into chats, with threaded messaging.

This could reduce traffic to their site, though, making it less sticky. And it would work ideally in Chrome, unfortunately.

Where there's demand for privacy and security, notepad falls short, as you cannot password-protect your notes. This is part of what Standard Notes addresses. If you don't need it, then that's fine. I use Dynalist for my notes.
