Updated the reader app again! Finally added auto page turning + reading. Now I can just listen to books on Royalroad or Scribblehub. Any other ebookworms? 📚

So Malay (Bahasa Melayu) and Indonesian (Bahasa Indonesia) are closely related, mutually intelligible, standard varieties of the Malay language?!

So is Epstein a Russian spy or Israeli spy? And who is the new Epstein now?
Let’s move on from the Epstein files to the Epstein trials!

I built PNL Reader because I wanted a better way to read web novels without the clutter. V2.7.0 brings smoother navigation for novel sites like RoyalRoad & Wattpad. Plus a new Nordic theme and full-screen mode. Let me know what you're reading! 🧚

It’s great to see people actually care about their privacy. It keeps me on my toes and makes me a better developer 😋

What's happening with Lyca mobile? My phone can't make a call out any more, and their customer service is un-responding.

😱 Just got a wild review regarding the 'Free Palestine' banner on my site. Is it 'unprofessional' for indie devs to take a political stand? or is it our right to use our platforms? AIO? Would love to hear your thoughts.

Spill the beans: reveal a secret or tell something that was supposed to be kept hidden. i.e. Come on, spill the beans! What did you get for your birthday?

Learning Ukrainian? This professional dict is probably for you, simple and efficient, though it might be a little too advanced.

"When the power went out, we called the cavalry to help us find candles." Really? Do people really use "cavalry" like that? I thought it strictly means soldiers.

☕️Anyone else found this hidden gem #Caffeinate on mac to prevent mac sleep? Also coincidentally I used a tool called #Decaffeinate not too long ago to convert CoffeeScript to Vanilla JS, both are life-saver to me💻
