I've been using Raindrop for about five years. The solo dev really impressed me with his responsiveness to user feedback, so I started paying for premium ($30/yr) even though I don't really need the extra features.

I've used the mobile app, Firefox extension, desktop app (Linux and Windows), and the web app. All have worked flawlessly and have grown more feature rich without ruining the user experience.

The features I use the most are:

  • Endlessly nestable folders that I can give my own icons to make them significantly easier to navigate around
  • Public collections so I can save my favorite GIFs and memes on a public page I can refer back to and share
  • Tagging, descriptions, and notes so I can save a lot of context for each bookmark and why I saved it
  • The built in preview for the mobile app feels buttery smooth, so I seldom open tabs in my mobile browser when I'm visiting my bookmarks
  • The main premium features I actually use are the broken link detector to find links that no longer exist and the permanent copies of those pages

I haven't had a chance to use the REST API, but it appears to be documented quite well.

Overall I've had such a pleasant experience that I've never looked at any other option.

My husband and I are in the exact same boat. Not looking forward to it sinking. ๐Ÿ˜ฅ

Was anybody else young enough to get endless entertainment out of those demo disks that held a dozen demos on them?

Oh, this looks pretty promising!

Any idea of how much they've shared a roadmap? I'd love to see if they have goals to integrate other video platforms like PeerTube to make it more than just an alternative YouTube front-end.

I used Notion for managing my D&D campaign until I noticed I was approaching the limitations of what the free tier offered. That sent me looking for an alternative and I ended up settling on Skiff Pages (at that time I don't even think they had email, drive, etc). It didn't have all the features that Notion did, but it was functional, easy to use, and they were frequently adding improvements.

It's kind of funny to me that they ended up getting swallowed by Notion in the end. I'm just glad that I've long since switched over to Obsidian. My Markdown files can't get bought by Notion . ๐Ÿ˜‚

For some reason I expected them to show up, take the exam, and then leave in a single episode. But, I'm really curious to see how this goes now that they've set up several interesting looking characters. I just hope poor Stark doesn't die of boredom ๐Ÿ˜‚

This happened to me 2 years ago, so I know it's really really tough. We put our old boy Stanley down on Christmas Eve and it was devastating. He was a long haired tuxedo that looked almost exactly like your sweet Belle.

I hope you take comfort in knowing that her last moments will be right by your side, where she likely feels the most at peace. And I also hope that you take care of yourself, take the time to grieve, and lean on your loved ones when you can.

If you're not memeing, I think that is Josh Hutcherson

That was an amazing night for Baldurs Gate 3! It's a lovely game, so I get it.

I was a bit surprised by the multiplayer win, though ๐Ÿค”

If they support this game even half as well as No Man's Sky then I'm excited to see how this one works out!

With what I've been through, I'm beginning to wonder if OP is telling the truth ๐Ÿ˜‚

About 7 years ago I got a call from some random lady in her 70s. Turns out her husband passed away not long ago and every computer in the house had Linux Mint installed. She needed someone to help her with some various simple techy things that her husband used to handle.

I couldn't help but wonder how this random lady got my phone number. Turns out that one day, my Grandfather went on a walk down the road and this lady was outside tending to her garden. I have no clue how the conversation shifted to the topic of Linux, but it did. And my Grandpa knew I was in college for Computer Science, so he just volunteered me for this task.

Fast forward to today and I still help her out once or twice a year with whatever random questions pop up.

I played through Cyberpunk a single time shortly after it released. I figured I'd play it again when Phantom Liberty released. But, I had no idea I'd actually be this excited about diving back into it! Maybe the marketing is working on me ๐Ÿ˜‚
