Japanese OCR to structured content works very well via chatgpt API.

In a sea of streaming everything, it’s great to find pockets of local media players.

I’ve recently found myself experimenting with local playback and built https://github.com/xenodium/ready-player

While I used to stream music 100% of the time, that’s now more like 5%, dedicated exclusively to discovery.

These days, I’m now back to purchasing digital music and primarily local playback.


While ffmpeg is a powerhouse, I don't use it frequently enough to remember all the options I'd need for my typical usage. Having said that, I have saved some magical incantations over time and built a handy context menu over time https://lmno.lol/alvaro/how-i-batch-apply-and-save-one-liner...

Now I can just highlight a file and:

- covert audio to mp3

- convert gif to video

- convert to mp4

- convert video to gif

- convert video to webp

- convert video to hevc mkv

- convert video to mp3

- convert video to mp3 with artwork

- convert video to thumbnail

- trim video beginning

- trim video end

- drop video audio

- speed up video

- speed up video fragment

- resize video


If you have stopped blogging, been meaning to get back on it, or simply want to start, but been put off by the popular platform options, I'm working on a blogging platform myself that sheds the crummy modern bits of the web: https://lmno.lol. Here's my own blog https://lmno.lol/alvaro (about 10 years worth of posts). You can read the blogs on your phone, your desktop, your terminal. No JS needed.

Coincidentally the platform hits nearly all of the wished items in this recent lobste.rs post https://lobste.rs/s/d1n9k6/kind_websites_i_like

You can drag and drop your entire blog from a markdown file https://indieweb.social/@xenodium/112265481282475542 User your favorite text editor to write.

No need to sign up or log in to try it out. You can edit ephemeral blogs.

I haven't officially launched, but if you'd like to get blogging, I'll be happy to share an invite code to get you started now. Ping help AT lmno.lol.


When I saw I could use HTML I was interested. Then I saw:

"Note: style attributes are currently blocked via Content-Security-Policy."

That's probably not for me. Restrictions on HTML are a stopper.


The end-goal isn't to restrict, but rather safeguard readers (avoid injecting questionable JS that's everywhere on the web). Is styling what you're after? Something else? Happy to consider different scenarios and open those up.


Oh, I see. I completely understand no JS, I just want the freedom to use HTML & CSS to add some dimensionality (eg floats, sidebars) and images (eg captions) to plain text.


Does it support latex formula and code highlighting? There are some things I absolutely need in a blog, and I can't seem to find a simple one that supports everything.


While you can embed code blocks, you can they aren't syntax highlighted yet. It's on the roadmap. I take it you mean to render latex? I'd need to figure out if I can render server-side. Trying to avoid client-side JS. I can add a feature request to the backlog.

The more desireable things can be added over time. I need to launch first. I also need to be mindful of what's added, so I things stay fairly lean and snappy.


This looks great. I'm building a blogging platform sharing much of this simplicity: https://lmno.lol My blog is at https://lmno.lol/alvaro

You can drag and drop your entire blog from a markdown file https://indieweb.social/@xenodium/112265481282475542

You can read blogs from anywhere, even terminal (no JS needed).

No need to sign up or log in to try it out. You can edit ephemeral blogs.

I haven't officially launched, but if you'd like to start blogging now, I'll be happy to share an invite code. Ping help AT lmno.lol.


My contribution to the small web is a lightweight blogging platform: https://lmno.lol My blog is at https://lmno.lol/alvaro

You can drag and drop your entire blog from a single markdown file https://indieweb.social/@xenodium/112265481282475542

You can read the blogs from anywhere, even terminal (no JS needed).

No need to sign up or log in to try it out. I haven't officially launched, but if you'd like to start blogging now, I'll be happy to share an invite code.


While I haven't officially launched https://lmno.lol blogging platform and not exactly monospaced, it shares much of the site's simplicity. You can view my blog at https://lmno.lol/alvaro (powered by a single markdown file). You can already play with the platform without signing in, but if you're keen to start blogging today, ping help\at\lmno.lol and I'll share an invite code.


Relying on markdown links to local images works well on my machine, but breaks as soon as I'd like to share that markdown file with someone else.

Sure, I can zip everything and send them over, but it's not as friendly for recepient as receiving a document handled by popular viewers, specially if they have to modify it and send it back.

With wide adoption of something like TextBundle, we get to have our cake (keep using plain text) and eat it too (send, view, and edit richer files).


I've never had the usecase of sending markdown with images attached.

I use markdown for personal notes and in the rare case I shared them in the past, either there were no (relevant) links or I shared with e.g. confluence and I could just add the image.

My other usecase for markdown is Readmes and those are shared in git including the files.

I understood this spec mostly for sharing with local apps. Is that a missed usecase by me? Markdown documents instead of word/pdf/powerpoint/whatnot?


I have in the past run markdown through an exporter that base64-encoded the images into the document before sharing with someone

solves this one issue at least



If you mean the one from edebug post, either of these have details.

If you mean from https://github.com/TeMPOraL/nyan-mode, I don't know ;)
