Cool app! Have you considered integrating with Readwise Reader? I would love something like that.

> There's also the matter that, ethically, openprovider seems to be heavily focusing on domain name speculators as clients

Do you have more info about that? I'm a customer of them and didn't know this.

I actually noticed that quite a lot of (smaller) hosting providers are also customers of Openprovider. (When transferring some domains from other providers to my account as Openprovider, they turned out to be internal transfers.) So I'm a bit surprised about it.

Agree! If you have a number of domains and can justify a membership, they Openprovider (NL) is a good option.

Some foreign extensions are quite expensive though. I happened to be looking into that yesterday, and Netim (FR) seems to be a good option for that. For the two extensions I need, they were among the cheapest with renewals.

I’ve been using one for over five years, exclusively with MacBooks which were always powered by the display. I haven’t had any issues with mine. (Except maybe once last year, when it wouldn’t turn on. I had to unplug the display from the power and plug it back in.)

Has anyone found petitions against this that we can sign?

I was wondering the same. Looking at the statements in the posts, I think so?

I’ve used Leave Me Alone (leavemealone.com) for cleaning up my subscriptions. It scans your past messages for subscriptions, sorts them by most frequent messages, and allows to unsubscribe (and delete) with one click. It’s a nice tool for this purpose.

Anyone knows which model(s) are used in Flow?

What do you dislike about Fastmail? I'm curious, since I've been using it for a while and I'm quite happy with it.

Speed up the showing/hiding animation of the Dock by running this in Terminal[1]:

> For hardware security keys, you can buy multiple keys, register all of them, and keep them in different places. Then if you lose one you just use one of the others (and register a replacement to maintain redundancy).

Do I need to have all keys in my physical possession to register them with a new account?

I could imagine having some backup keys in different places, but if I need to collect them every time I want to register them for some new account or service, it sounds like a lot of trouble.

(And if the process is too much trouble, the result would be that: (1) I don't use the hardware keys for those accounts, which is less secure; (2) I only register my primary key that I keep nearby, which is dangerous if it would get lost or broken; or (3) my backup keys end up at the same place as the primary one, due to forgetting or being too lazy to put them back, which is also dangerous…)

Nice idea! I'd be interested in giving it a try for our project in the future.

It does seem that the demo review is broken in Safari, I get a JS error and the UI doesn't seem to work completely:

> [Error] TypeError: e.connect is not a function. (In 'e.connect(l,s)', 'e.connect' is undefined)

Also, is there any way to keep up-to-date on the project? I don't see a newsletter or Twitter link on your homepage.

Another +1 for suggestions (with 'commit now' button). It's the thing I love most about GitHub PRs, and I wouldn't consider leaving it for a solution without it :-)
