I register few weeks ago, the account still not verified, despite following the procedure. Can't use API if the account not verified.

If I remember correctly, Davinci is Non-linear editing which doesn't affect the original file. Unless you mean there's copy of original file somewhere on disk?

I considered Zoho in the past, but to bloated with feature I don't need, IMO ity more suited for business and enterprise like Goofle Workspace.

Now I settled on Purelymail for the time being. It's simple and purely just email (pun intended).

I agree, that's what I feel the moment I read the post. Although the writing more shorter than Chichanowski.

Interesting, in Indonesia Ente means you. Derived from Arabic word Anta.

Fascinating how sometimes in different languages one word can have opposite meaning and the other times one word can have similar meaning.

In my experience, it's not easy as After Effects. Though for simple VFX, motion or animation is doable.

For me best alternative to AE is Blender.

Speaking of open graph, your index doesn't have it when I bookmark using Raindrop.

Great photos and I like how you show metadata, remind me of Flickr.

I think photography is one of the things that better to have website than use social media like Instagram. You can display your photos however you like and not to worry about platform limitations.

Edit: Do you use CMS?

> I definitely think there is something psychologically behind saving links and never reading them, I have quite the backlog.

It's like having peace of mind or hoarding—you never know when you might need those links down the road, but knowing they're stashed away somewhere is pretty comforting.

I used Raindrop with 7,000 links, and I usually go back to some of them to recall or confirm information.
