until someone starts a botnet making your S3 invoice to $10k. Pay per usage is always a liability.

It is horrendous that aws doesnt allow any usage limits.

We can have spam filters for emails without any identity verifications. It is hard, but it should be possible for IM as well, right?

Thanks for your comment, I assumed that Beeper uses the DMA API [1], but I couldn't find if they really do, or they are just faking requests "like from official app". It seems the latter is true since it shows my chat history and DMA does not include that.

You may try Beeper app - it finaly has got the "secure mode" with on-device accounts. So, you can login to messenger from your phone (thanks to EU Digital Markets Acts), and your phone will relay it up encrypted to the beeper's matrix server.

On your desktop you can just connect with any matrix client (or beeper electron app) and effectively use your phone as a proxy to Messenger/WhatsApp/etc.

Only downside is missing audio/video calling (should be enforced in 2028).

I checked, and yes - the field "create_time" is available both for coversation and for each message. The payload looks the same as the exported JSON.

Look for this API call in Dev Tools: https://chatgpt.com/backend-api/conversation/

If you download a Data export, the timestamps are there for every conversation, and often for messages as well.

The html file is just a big JSON with some JS rendering, so I wrote this bash script which adds the timestamp before the conversation title:

  sed -i 's|"" + conversation.title + "
"|"" + new Date(conversation.create_time*1000).toISOString().slice(0, 10) + " @ " + conversation.title + "
"|' chat.html

This was really made in 2016. I hacked it together back then, and forgot about it. Now I needed to check what did I do yesterday, and I remembered that I once made this tool. It needed just a quick update of the authorization header.

Since this is missing on github, i thought it could be useful for other people. :-)

Hi, it often happens to me, that I write a comment, mark issue as "done" on the notification page, but then I can't find it again.

I rediscovered a tool I created for this 8 years ago and after a little tweak it works perfectly. Enjoy :-)

It is a web app - just visit https://osmapp.org in mobile or desktop.

PWA is experimential feature, it lets you add it on homescreen, but nothing more. It is still online web app. See https://osmapp.org/install For mobile we have already several great native apps (OrganicMaps, Osmand, Mapy.cz).

Hi, unfortunately this is caused by Maptiler map tiles prefering Wikidata over OSM. More info here: https://github.com/zbycz/osmapp/issues/221

You can find the "correct" OSM entity here: https://osmapp.org/way/94708772

Hi - I am the author.

OsmAPP is my take on creating a universal OpenStreetMap app for broad public. It should be as easy to use as Google Maps, including clickable POIs and featuring as much of OSM data as possible. I want to educate the user about wikipedia-like experience of OSM, thus edit is possible even for anonymous visitors. It is has still a long way to go ;)

- Big thanks to Maptiler which processes raw OSM data and provides the vector tiles. https://www.maptiler.com/

- Geocoding is done by Photon API which allows autocomplete. The main OSM sites uses Nominatim API which can't. https://photon.komoot.io/

Also thank you very much for featuring OsmAPP here, perhaps someone will find it useful. :-)
