I’m excited to offer the next giveaway, 4 licenses ($39.99 value each) for Unite Pro. Unite has long been my favorite way to create Single Site Browsers (SSBs), sandboxing things like Facebook and MindMeister while adding app-like functionality. The latest version, Unite Pro, is out now, and I have free copies!

Here’s a silly idea I had. I don’t like to keep a bunch of icons in my Dock, preferring to use Bunch along with a simple set of persistent Dock apps. I do keep Firefox in the Dock, but I use a bunch of browsers for different purposes, so what if I could access all of them from the Dock without polluting it?

I’ve been using Sascha Ißbrücker’s extension for linkding with my own instance for a while now, and while it’s simple and works great, there’s one thing that always frustrated me: the popover window closes the moment you click outside of it, erasing what you’ve entered.

I love playing the New York Times game Connections. Some days it’s easy, occasionally it stumps me. I don’t cheat at it — I’ll take a loss when I have to.

NiftyMenu is the little tool I use to dump a macOS app’s menu bar into an HTML page so I can search it, click through to items, and add callouts for screencasts and product documentation. The latest round of updates brings the UI in line with macOS Tahoe and cleans up a bunch of behavior and script logic.

In my quest to make Apex as complete as possible before I integrate it into Marked, I’ve added Pandoc-compatible filters, which can be written in Lua for native execution, or in any language using a Pandoc JSON pipeline.

I’ve been sleeping anywhere between 4 and 6 hours a night, which isn’t great because through trial and (mostly) error, I’ve determined that at this point in my life, 8.5 hours of sleep is what I do best on. But naps help quite a bit.
