MakeUseOf: This free CAD software runs in your browser and puts expensive programs to shame. “Computer-aided design has a reputation problem. For most people, a CAD design means multi-gigabyte installers, clunky license managers, and subscriptions that sometimes cost more than the hardware your PC has. Now there are a lot of design tools that don’t require a subscription, but one of them is […]

Spotted in my Calishat Snaps: Parrot. From the help page: “Parrot is a web app for easily recording throwaway audio clips. It was originally intended for pronunciation practice but may find other uses.”

Decentralized WhatsApp Clone - No Setup or Signup

https://positive-intentions.com

This is intended to introduce a new paradigm in client-side managed secure cryptography. We can avoid registration of any sort. A fairly unique offering for a messaging app.

No need for things like phone numbers or registering to any app stores. There are no databases to be hacked Allowing users to send E2EE messages; no cloud, no trace.

vAmigaWeb: Support for ADZ and HDZ files

The Amiga emulator for web browsers, vAmigaWeb, now supports ADZ and HDZ file formats, which are compressed versions of ADF and HDF images. Both formats can be loaded as usual; when exporting workspaces, vAmigaWeb automatically uses gzip compression, resulting in smaller file sizes. Older, uncompressed workspaces remain compatible.

Online customer views for both invoice & receipt
Nice email formats for customers
Overdue notifications & reminders
Clear, simple & intuitive layout. (very pretty too!)

I still have more work to do on it, but when finished it will set a new standard for ease of use and recordkeeping.

yafira’s itp blog: On Open Source and Making Things for Each Other. “One thing I’ve been working on is tinytinker.tools, a soft toolkit for curious makers — tiny, focused utilities for makers, engineers, artists, crafters, and tinkerers, all without leaving your browser.” A bunch of bitty-but-useful utilities.

Hmm. I use Masto, BlueSky, and Feedly. Might be worth checking out.

Here, I encounter another damn bad and wrong website that dropped their password entirely for user login -- it's now only entering a phone # or your email address and having them send you a code -- AS IF YOU DO NOT HAVE A PASSWORD IN THEIR SYSTEM.

This process is far, far more annoying than just using passwords like normal websites.

Why in hell is this trend being shoved down our throats? It's terrible UX, and just stupid.

Invoicing App weigh-in.

Some of you probably know this but I'm developing an online invoicing app. I'm looking for a little feedback on which feature you would prefer.

Duplicate Invoice: Duplicate any invoice for a customer, tweak as needed.
-----or------
Invoice Templates: Create an unassigned invoice, tweak and assign it to customers as needed.

Which feature would you prefer, and, would you even use the other one?

You can use Mastodon through your server's website, or through apps, but did you know there is also a third option?

"Web apps" let you get the best of both worlds, with all the unrestricted features of the website but also notifications and a full-screen interface.

It's really easy to install web apps, you can find out more in the guide at:

➡️ https://fedi.tips/how-to-install-web-apps-for-mastodon-and-the-fediverse

It's not just Mastodon either, lots of Fediverse platforms offer web apps.
