Today I learned that this picture was almost used for Windows XP instead of the iconic picture of the green hill. I'm really glad they didn't, but this is a cool picture too!

How did I build Turkey Hands? I use the Google model MediaPipe for detecting hands. It's magic and I couldn't have made this without Google's models! It's a super small model that runs in the browser and in real-time! Nothing needs to leave the device.

Thanksgiving gets a bad beat. Sandwiched between two epic holidays, Halloween and Christmas. It's like the dried turkey sandwich of the end-of-year holidays.
So I made a thing. 👇

This one makes me feel nostalgic for the 2000s. All the pictures are obviously from then.

Adding share buttons directly to the newsletter email. To hopefully get organic growth.
The problem is, bots sign up for your newsletter. Weirdly click EVERY single URL in the newsletter.
It's hard to know how many people shared. I made an API endpoint on the site, which uses Cloudflare.

I added a random button so you can see a random URL that has already been shared. I mean, it's called RANDOM daily URLs. You have to have a random button!

Sick today, so doing light work.
I added a fetch button to the admin so I can have an LLM pull title, description, tags, etc., for me when adding links.
I find myself deleting and tweaking a lot of it. But faster than starting from zero and doing it all myself.

Looks like all those optimizations I did worked out. It's crazy how low I got this down!
