Love this thing! It enabled me to add a “Convert to GIF” for videos in my Clop app (https://lowtechguys.com/clop) in just a few lines of code. The GIF gets encoded at its optimal size by default so I didn’t have to do a second optimization step. I also like that the author spent time to add an easy way to build a static binary, which I need in order to ship gifski inside the app. Compressing all these static... - Source: Hacker News / 23 days ago

It’s done in a similar way on macOS: a dylib is added to the bundle and an LC_LOAD command is added to the app binary. The dylib is the first thing that runs because of using the constructor attribute, like this: https://notes.alinpanaitiu.com/Injecting%20a%20DYLIB%20into%20a%20macOS%20app The nice thing is that a signed app will refuse to load a dylib that does not have the same signature. So crackers will be... - Source: Hacker News / about 2 months ago

Looks like I’m doing something similar without being aware of it. My latest free macOS app IsThereNet [1] is really just a swift file bundled as an app. But it got a lot more press than I expected and brought enough users for my Clop app [2] where my marketing efforts did very little. I like to help others by sharing my efforts into fixing macOS incoveniences. But going from a script that runs fine for years on my... - Source: Hacker News / 5 months ago

If you don't like the process of making the cards, you could try exporting the words or sentences from kindle into Anki. I like to use clippings.io. These were some of my highlights from The Little Prince. Unsurprisngly there's also a DeepL add-on for Anki for mass translations. Source: over 1 year ago

I used my yesterday's evening to create a small JS script to remove automatically more than 90% of duplicate entries (at least for me :P). As far as I know, there isn't any working script/program to do this with the latest kindles or nothing maintained anymore (if there is, tell me). Also, clippings.io doesn't do anything with their promised "deduplication", so I created this makeshift way of more or less cleanly... Source: almost 2 years ago

I was originally "anti-Kindle" (well anti-Amazon tbh) and loyal to a proper paperback/hardback book. When I had to do lots of business travel I tried a Kindle (Voyage) and I'm fully converted. It's not just having all books on one device, it's that the battery last for ages, it's fairly robust (I treat it badly - thrown in travel bag etc) and it still survives...but, the huge thing for me was Wiki, Dictionary and...

Are all tools /websites compatible such as clippings.io? Source: about 2 years ago

In the past I used clippings.io to import "My Clippings.txt" and then to export to Evernote, sadly the author went nuts and now charges in Russian gold. Source: about 2 years ago
