I don’t even think any apps that use the API are allowed to use “Spot” in their name.

It cannot begin with “Spot” or be similar to “Spotify” in sound or spelling.

I’m guessing they don’t want to test on any other browsers, so it’s easier just to say that those aren’t supported. Most likely it works on others, you just need to spoof the agent.

Here is an otter

How do you do the ingredients for a recipe? Does it understand “1tbsp” and things like that?

Logseq is worth looking into as well. You’d have the same sync conundrum as Obsidian, and can solve it the same way too.

More specifically, what’s the connection to Reddit?

Insert to copy, and then Insert to paste.

I didn’t realise 12ft.io has gone down but I believe their original slogan was along the lines of, “for every 10ft wall, there’s a 12ft ladder”, hence the name.

This policy was last updated in March, 2023.

You’ll want to create a new firebase project, install the firebase CLI on your computer and then use the CLI to: login to firebase, select the project you created, and then using the CLI run firebase deploy wherever your code is. That should use firebase “hosting” to serve your static files.

I find Google Cloud’s documentation extremely confusing (including firebase), so you’re not alone on that front. Took a lot of searching & troubleshooting to finally get my setup working as I intended.

Can’t comment on square space, but you could maybe try firebase (google), github pages, or netlify as alternatives?

My recommendation would be to go down the web dev route to start because it’s very easy to create things that you can share easily (everyone has a browser, but not everyone has python installed on their machine, or wants to open an executable). That can be a great motivator.

I still think App Academy’s free bootcamp is one of the most comprehensive resources to go from zero to making small web apps. It’s very hands-on and they have over 200hrs of material, discord community, and it was updated about a year ago. However, it can be quite daunting and you need to have good discipline to keep going.

Otherwise, as someone else mentioned, freecodeacademy is a good beginner resource.

For IPTVNator, which video player do you use? I tried videojs and html5 and nothing would come up.

Just chiming to say I feel the same sometimes. But at the same time I’m also amazed and excited by the different possibilities. There’s usually never a black or white solution, although there are some best-practices that have established over time.

As you mentioned already, I think it helps to think of all the technologies, languages, frameworks etc. as tools to solve a problem.

I quite like Obsidian too. Markdown note app that has desktop & mobile versions. You can create templates and have it so that a new note using a template is opened automatically when you open the app (e.g. for daily notes). It also supports a lot of different community created plugins.

I sync across android & linux via google drive for free, otherwise Obsidian also has a paid sync feature.

I don’t have an answer unfortunately but I ran into the same issue. I used some random sites (think Pelisplay and pelisplus) to watch some stuff but it was more miss than hit.

The other frustrating part is that even if you watch a Spanish translated show on Netflix for example, the subtitles usually don’t match with what they’re saying, even though it’s the same language.

Lol, who turned the lights out?

A bit ironic that they host their code on Github, no?

I do feel kinda bad for people. There’s very few jobs left where you don’t interact with a computer in some form or another, and the reality is that it’s not for everyone. Of course most people can benefit from using these “tools” but since they’re always upgrading, there keeps being something new to learn.

Personally, I love technology and playing around with new tech. However, if I’m great at sales or a lawyer or something, that’s where I add value, not in knowing how a computer works. So I can see how people get frustrated with it.

In the end it boils down to, pretty much everyone needs IT, but IT doesn’t need everyone. Think about it, when was the last time you worked at a company where an employee didn’t have a computer or need a computer for some task that they do?

SO has helped me countless times, so I can’t thank it enough. However, it just seems impossible to become an “expert” these days. I can’t even vote when a solution has helped me. I’ve tried raising my own legitimate questions, but at this point they’re going to be obscure & niche, so that no one interacts with it, and I don’t get magical internet points so that I can contribute myself. It’s actually really frustrating since I’ve actually wanted to give back to the community, and it just seems to work actively against me.
