If this is up your alley, play today's word and let me know what you think! 🔗 sixhints.com

I've been tinkering with a daily word game, and I just released it to some close friends for play testing!
Pushing it fully public later this week, so if it's up your alley stay tuned over the next 2-3 days

I thought that AI would help reduce my backlog, but instead it's increased it 5-fold because almost every idea now seems "doable"
Anyone else have this problem? 😅

Someone wrote an article about my receipt printer, and over the last ~24 hours I've gotten another thousand or so messages.
They're all so positive and excited, I'm incredibly overwhelmed with joy 🥲

I've released my first Go application!
It's a (very basic) terminal video editor that uses ffmpeg and whisper to let you selectively choose which lines from a video you want to keep.
You can also preview each line with a pop-up video player!
It's called tsplice:
