Anyone knows how this compares to chrome?

https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1429522#c45 Linked in the Twitter thread.

It's in the link. The decreases in power usage put it on par with Chrome.

So, still terrible then?

The reason I use Safari is because Chrome is unbelievably power-hungry. I didn't know Firefox was even worse.

Yes, compared to Safari. The Safari engineering is very impressive! I think there is quite a bit more to come on the Firefox side though, so hopefully they'll close the gap.

Same, I switched to Safari a couple of years ago. I was initially hesitant, because I used the developer tools in Chrome quite a bit. I was pleasantly surprised to see that the Safari developer tools is very mature, and in some ways better than Chrome.

Why do you want to replace Pinboard/Instapaper? What feature do you miss?

Being self-hosted and open-source?

Smart auto-tagging.

I don’t think they archive links. They only bookmark them. Am I wrong?

Pinboard has an archive option at a higher subscription level.

Where higher is still a ridiculously cheap $25/yr

And you don’t have to care about disaster recovery, backup and upgrades? If I were half-serious about my bookmarks, I’d pay that much. I am not though and pinboard free account is enough.

Not just that, but also link rot. In five years how many of those URLs will still have useful info on them?

(I didn't even know pinboard had free accounts.)

IIRC, I paid a small fee once, 10$ or something, but even when the website changed to subscription only, I was never asked to pay additional fee.

https://historio.us archives links. Disclosure, I wrote and run it.

care to share how you use hammerspoon?

- Flip audio outputs dependant on the application running (e.g. if Zoom I want my headset with mic, if Spotify I want my DAC/Amp).

- Mute sound when suspending, so I don't accidentally wake my laptop up with the volume on in some public place.

- Bind applications I use often to capslock+letter.

- Close ScanSnap application when my scanner isn't plugged in, and open it when it is.

- Move windows and resize them when I'm docked into monitors.

- Type my paste buffer into places where paste is forbidden.

- Extend my screen timeout from 2m to 10m when at home (based on SSID).

A few of the examples, there's 1000s of things you can do.

is the talk available?

Not from the same talk, but the same conference so probably not?

probably you want to read the books by Charlie Hunt or Oaks if you can't find the vid

it's plain java - should be no problem.

may I ask you how much you make with ads? ( just out of curiosity )

I built the site; until today I made approximately ZERO dollars. Today I've seen 20k+ hits, and made $60.

Thanks for answering. That's way more than I expected!

Great Idea, simple and useful. May I ask you how successful this service is? Just the pricing is a bit too high for me - is there no free options? Maybe for one service to monitor?

Thanks for the feedback!! There is indeed a free plan! Currently limited to 5 services and email only. Do you think I should open up all the features for free?

I always struggle with what to include in a free tier. IE: How to balance the needs of supporting a service but also offering enough features for free to give them a taste.

I just launched a couple of weeks ago, after using it internally for months. Paid customers number in the dozens, which is enough to pay the hosting and other recurring fees.

My target is companies that are already spending hundreds or thousands of dollars a month on hosting services, so I would like to think that a few lattes-worth of peace-of-mind would be a worthwhile investment. Especially, given the time savings when you are hunting down a problem that's not actually yours.

Hey, Octobot designer here. I think Colin's project rocks! He does offer a free plan that can monitor up to five services, but notifications are limited to email.

Is there a video?
