  • I’ve been using Raindrop for about five years. The solo dev really impressed me with his responsiveness to user feedback, so I started paying for premium ($30/yr) even though I don’t really need the extra features.

    I’ve used the mobile app, Firefox extension, desktop app (Linux and Windows), and the web app. All have worked flawlessly and have grown more feature rich without ruining the user experience.

    The features I use the most are:

    • Endlessly nestable folders that I can give my own icons to make them significantly easier to navigate around
    • Public collections so I can save my favorite GIFs and memes on a public page I can refer back to and share
    • Tagging, descriptions, and notes so I can save a lot of context for each bookmark and why I saved it
    • The built in preview for the mobile app feels buttery smooth, so I seldom open tabs in my mobile browser when I’m visiting my bookmarks
    • The main premium features I actually use are the broken link detector to find links that no longer exist and the permanent copies of those pages

    I haven’t had a chance to use the REST API, but it appears to be documented quite well.

    Overall I’ve had such a pleasant experience that I’ve never looked at any other option.







  • Oh, that sounds really cool!! I haven’t actually used chatGPT so I’m not familiar with the pricing or free limitations of it.

    Recently I’ve been really enjoying LM studio for D&D related things. I’ve created separate conversation threads for different topics, plots, and characters. So, when I ask a question it already is aware of the context behind my ask and it tailors the response accordingly.

    For example, I recently had a one-shot and I knew I wanted to have a powerful sorceress who controlled minds. So I spun up a new conversation and typed out the basic info. Then I asked the LLM what her favorite form of torture was, how many people she had mind controlled, and what her lair might look like, etc. It worked better than I thought it would, although some of the responses seemed pretty cookie cutter 😅



  • This happened to me 2 years ago, so I know it’s really really tough. We put our old boy Stanley down on Christmas Eve and it was devastating. He was a long haired tuxedo that looked almost exactly like your sweet Belle.

    I hope you take comfort in knowing that her last moments will be right by your side, where she likely feels the most at peace. And I also hope that you take care of yourself, take the time to grieve, and lean on your loved ones when you can.
