Has heard about it but didn’t know the reliability. Too bad it doesn’t support my 2011 Honda. Next car!

What’s the setup here with a ventilation fan?

Do you just run a ventilation fan in reverse? And suck outdoor air inside?

I will sometimes crack a window and leave the ventilation fan on, then later run a dehumidifier. But it’s a lot of steps, and it would be nice to automate some of the steps.


I, actually run a 6 inch snorkel out from the basement with fine metal mesh clamped onto the intake. Reduces to 4 inch through the wall, then through a filter box, then through a 200cfm fan. You want 15cfm per person in the building to flush enough CO2. After the two filters, a 200 cfm fan will not be pulling what it’s rated for. You can either use a bathroom exhaust fan in reverse, or you can get quiet enough fans from “indoor gardening companies”. The dehumidifier is standard, nothing fancy.


I was similarly inspired by afterthebeep, but didn't get anywhere. It'll be interesting to see if different niches/metas build up over time.

I had fun browsing the different topics, and could see myself using this as a way to have "slow" social media usage.


Really enjoyed this write up. You both had the skill and the patience to even buy a working version to fix the broken ones!


FYI the “customer support” link in the footer on the homepage also links to support@buttondown.email.


The linked article mentioned that they hadn't moved email over.


Clean UI and a neat way to document your daily learnings.

Would be interested in running it for other Chinese languages as well.


Interesting idea. I liked the AI button, but had difficulty even finding it since you need to click into a line item before you can see it.

Also, I wanted to "test" my work before deploying it, but that seems not possible?


Thanks for the feedback!

Yes - at present, a note needs to be deployed before you can test. Then you can make a change, and redeploy. We can look at making this a bit more seamless in future iterations.

Re: the AI button - any suggestion on how we might improve there?


Perhaps using the same nomenclature for both? In the tooltip you call it an Autoprompt, but the icon itself just says "AI". Also, I typed some steps in, and expected to need to review before deploying since I didn't have any "AI" or "autoprompt" to help.

Maybe some sort of more obvious workflow that it's "done" and can be tested?


What is a "design house auction"?

It sounds like a museum auction or something? If so, that sounds like a nice way to promote an environment to enjoy things. Would make a great entrance/foyer hallway feature.


Design firms frequently upgrade their hardware. So you can frequently find great hardware at very low prices. Also snagged a fully loaded Mac Pro trashcan for $1200 back in 2017 when they all went for the iMac Pros.

I spent $50 for each monitor and additional $50 for 2 x Chromecasts.

Net out, 2 x 24” auto-updating photo frames for <$200.


Wow that's extremely good value.

Where did you end up finding the auctions for these? Contact the design firms directly?

I took it to mean "do something with no real purpose" except they don't need to Slack/Zoom/Scrum/Checkins/8 hours a day.

Doesn't really seem like highroading, more like efficient use of their time.
