As mentioned in my previous blog post, I went down a bit of a rabbit hole regarding native messaging. I couldn't figure out how to communicate properly via stdin/stdout from a MacOS Swift app. If anyone has any pointers, that would greatly simplify the process; because oh boy is this a process.

I'm currently working on a complete rewrite of my browser extension, MarkDownload. In the current version, most of my logic and processing takes place on a persistent background page. An invisible webpage, just sitting there taking up memory, waiting for someone to click that button and get the process started.
Book week parade at school today. As usual, so many Harry Potters, but respect to the one Hufflepuff among the Gryffindors.
I like my blog and want to use it more, but what sort of content could I create that ends up marketable and profitable?
I'm looking into things I could possibly do for work that are outside of my normal (i.e. software/web development). The idea of proofreading is sticking with me. It's something I've done in all aspects of my work for many different people.
So, how do I find people who need proofreading work?
G'day, Neighbours!

My brain has just hit a procrastination lock-up. I don't know what to do, or what I should be doing
Hey, #Lucasfilm, I have an idea for a Disney+ series:
#StarWars Ascendancy. Explore the Chiss post- #Thrawn. It's basically #GameOfThrones in space!
Tired this morning
G'day, Neighbours!

Yeah, I spent way too long looking into emojis, fonts and subsets. But now I have a trimmed-down Twemoji font, containing only flags. Only 76KB 🤏
Don't mind me, just testing some flags 🇨🇦 🇨🇭 🇨🇾 🇨🇿 🇩🇪 🇩🇰 🇯🇴🇳🇵
Ooh! Neighbourhood.omg.lol is verified. When did that happen? Neat.
Why is it that after a nap I feel groggier than when I lay down in the first place?
G'day Neigbours!

#MarvelSnap Arishem has arrived. He's immediately popular. Now Darkhawk is super powerful 😈
@steele, if you see this, you'll know that some people do look
G'day Neighbours!
I've published an open beta of my new Neighbourhood.omg.lol app. It's ready for any and all Android users to try out!
I've also set up a sale so the app will be free for a week, but I couldn't start the sale immediately, so it will be free from tomorrow.
I'm looking for honest feedback. What works, what doesn't, what needs improvement. I don't exactly have bug tracking or anything set up yet, so for now feel free to ping me on Mastodon, or shoot an email to [email protected]
I also have a roadmap on the /now page (https://neighbourhood.omg.lol/now) if you're interested.

Serious question for all omg.lol people: Following other omg.lol people, yay or nay?
For some, part of the appeal of status.lol is that there isn't any "social" features such as "liking" and "following". For others, it might be nice to keep the statuslog of people you care about close.
What say you?
