My top 2 picks: 1) The fact that dialog windows almost always open on the wrong display if you have two displays and the external is the main one, 2) The fact that windows' positions/sizes are not remembered, There are a few other things (for example, occasional performance issues) but these two annoy me the most.

Aside from that, I absolutely LOVE Inkscape - there are no better tools if you want to have granular control over the SVG.

Edit: here's another one, not sure if macOS related tho - auto-selecting the parent when clicking the path underneath it. Because of that, I can't use a hotkey to switch the visibility of the selected path on/off (Inkscape switches the visibility of the parent layer instead, affecting everything that's inside).

Nicely done, thank you! It's "small" features like this that make software really nice and pleasant to use. Don't stop there!

Doesn't seem to work for sending files from my Mac to my Android - I scan the code on the phone and....nothing happens? I tried sending via FF/Safari/Brave and receiving on FF/DDG. No idea what am I doing wrong.

If you want something just as surprising & good, I'd recommend giving "Slay the princess" a go - a really unique hidden gem. Or, if you're not into it, then check Euro Brady's playthroughs for this game ( he also did DDLC btw. ) - the commentary is awesome and gives insight into many things you wouldn't normally find out yourself.

You clearly have no idea how people with ADHD / parents of ADHD kids feel like. Just because you can "overcome your cognitive dissonance" doesn't mean that everybody has the same freedom/will/strength to do so. Adding the weight of the "drugs" tag is not a way to help those who need medication to barely function like a normal person.

Oh, and by the way: wherever you are is not the center of the world. In the EU, barely anyone recognizes the names "Ritalin", "Adderall" etc. - methylphenidate is a lot more common.

If you don't see the difference between metaamphetamines and their deriatives vs methylphenidate, then you don't have any right to comment on the subject. And no, it's not a "drug". Calling it such is guilt-tripping those that want to/do use MPH it and there's already a ton of that in the lives of people with ADHD. A parent hearing somebody call MPH a "drug" = "There's no way in hell I'm giving my kid DRUGS!!11". For kids with ADHD (and for people with ADHD in general), medication is massive a life changer ( and saver too ) - from often nightmare to livable/decent. You don't have any right to take that away from them.

Which TTS would you suggest? Anything out there that is able to properly see/handle modulation, punctuation and overall sentence 'mood'? I've been looking for something easy to set up but most is either extremely complex or is producing output of relatively poor quality.

Does it work with USB/endoscope/similar cameras? Would be awesome if it did - there's almost nothing out there that can read my two endoscopes and I'd really like to be able to at least see their feed, even if at least just on the phone. Though being able to stream it would also be great.

I apologize for an offtopic but...anyone happen to know anything similar for Ukrainian?

Neat idea! One thing I'd recommend though - on your website, on the landing page, put a short video/animated gif that immediately shows an example of use. Also, it took me quite a while to spot the little bug in the bottom-left corner so you may want to perhaps expose it a little bit more? Perhaps add a little animation that focuses the user's attention there? Good luck!

Ehh, installing dependencies on macOS separately. Why didn't they include all the dependencies in the bundle?

Wasn't there a research where they put very sensitive microphones in the ears of a tinnitus-affected woman and they actually were able to record something (noise/sound)? I wonder what came out of that.

Sadly not everyone is able to keep anything in their ears for a longer period of time. For me, it quickly gets very tiresome to the point where my ears start to hurt.
