New comment by nebyoolae in "Ask HN: Do you still bookmark websites?"

nebyoolae — Sun, 17 Aug 2025 05:11:11 +0000

I have browser bookmarks for things I go to frequently, but occasionally need to prune them due to actual disuse. For everything else, I used to use Pocket, but then switched to a self-hosted Wallabag interface. The UI could use a little tweaking, but it works for my purposes. There’re browser extensions to save stuff and even a decent iOS app.

That being said, I have the common problem of forgetting to actually read any of it later. I’ll have sessions where I go through it once or twice a month, cleaning out the “inbox”, but I have so many starred links I’ll probably never go back to, so I have to wonder sometimes: what’s the point?

There is something strangely compelling, to crib from another commenter, about this site, its throwback UI, and general “this seems like a good idea even if no one really uses it”actually potentially useful art-piece-ness.

I tried both recording something on the site and uploading a file (all from an iPhone), but neither worked.

Regardless, kudos on this project. Hope Bob gets his milk.

I’m a programmer and audio person, so my blog is largely about my projects relating to those things.

I love the idea of this app! Can it set up apps across Spaces?

I’ve always loved this blog and definitely have found many useful tools from it. So glad it’s back. And it’s even on Mastodon now(?)!

Show HN: Bogdle – Wordle-inspired Boggle-like game

nebyoolae — Tue, 25 Oct 2022 16:21:25 +0000

Hey HN!

I made a word search game like Boggle, but inspired by Wordle's look and feel. There is a default Daily mode that finds a 9-letter seed word from a list and then generates all the English words found in it (the word list needs work, though, I know), but also a Free mode if you just want to generate random puzzles of different difficulties.

The source is on Github: https://github.com/michaelchadwick/bogdle. A somewhat more extensive write-up is at https://michaelchadwick.info/blog/2022/10/25/bogdle-is-live.

I had a lot of fun making it, and hopefully you will have fun playing it, too. Let me know what you think and if you run into any troubles.

Cheers!

I also learned about pd from the man himself back in college. When did you attend?

Awesome little utility. Does what it says, and does it well. Nice job.

As a programmer with a young child who loves screens, this is a lovely idea.

New comment by nebyoolae in "Ask HN: Do you still use browser bookmarks?"

nebyoolae — Sat, 08 Apr 2017 01:27:21 +0000

I do still use bookmarks, but only for places I go a lot, and I sync them via Chrome. Pocket is a godsend for the "cool links" that I check out when I have time and then usually archive away, never to look at again.

This is a great little game and the documentation is amazing.

The title is somewhat misleading (it's catchy, though), but I agree with your points and think that while email is still a great catch-all communication tool, there are better ones when you're actually trying to work in a team on many projects.

I have also gotten expired link errors, too, and it's kind of jarring. I don't know of any other site that does its paging in this way, and I'm not sure of the advantage of doing it this way. All I experience is a reading session that can't be left alone for some arbitrary amount of time lest I lose my place.
