The city of Merida in Mexico might also be an option.

I subscribe to the paid service and use it from time to time. I think it's quite good at what it is supposed to do: convert a "plain" screenshot into a particular type of presentation-ready image.

Like many utilities, there are countless other ways to get to a similar result, but I personally don't want to think through exactly what tools and adjustments would be needed. So, for me, $5/month is a good value to get a task off my plate every once in a while. Thanks for making it!

Looks cool! Would this also work for "explainer" type videos, showing how to use a software product or similar?

If yes, you might consider a page or callout about that use-case, as it might attract some additional users. Just a thought.

Looks like they also offer the book for $3 “la la carte” (without a subscription) which sounds reasonable.

Hi, bought the zine, it's great.

PS Separately, if you ever felt like it, it would be lovely to have a poster (or similar short thing in your style) about CSS Selectors specifically, to give to our customers. (To use our stuff, it's good to know about selectors but don't need to know about styling/positioning and such.)

Great resource, thank you for curating this list!

Personally I’m excited to switch to the Mozilla branded VPN. I expect it will be a good try at a VPN service, and it will hopefully be a way for them to make a bit of extra money. If it fails, it fails and I’ll pick another.

There are companies launching on HN and employing people on HN all the time. Those companies may or may not survive the long haul. I don’t see how I can sensibly demand more of a promise from the software and services that I buy, vs. what we (collectively) promise to our own users or customers.

"It now takes something like 4 taps to get to the point where I can correct or otherwise edit the URL in my mobile browser (Safari)"

Just FYI, you can touch once in the URL bar to set focus to it (the whole URL will be selected), then touch and hold down on the keyboard (which will then act like a desktop touchpad) to move the cursor around to edit the URL.

I find this handy, though it took me a while to get used to it.

I find that olive oil combined with a bit of butter works pretty well in non-nonstick pans. I start with maybe a teaspoon or so of olive oil in the center of the pan and let that heat up a bit, then add a small amount of butter and wait for it to melt and bubble, then crack the egg directly over the puddle of oil/butter. This has worked well for me, even in otherwise testy pans like worn-out nonsticks, iron skillets, etc.

Thank you for Fine Uploader. It's been really helpful.

A my-fault anecdote: I submitted a PR for a minor new Fine Uploader feature, and when a few followup questions were asked about documenting the new feature, I never got around to completing the tasks.

So, at least in my case, I intended to contribute and did "most" of the work, but failed to make the time to bring my PR over the finish line. Perhaps there were a bunch of well-intentioned-but-ultimately-not-usable contributions like mine, and maybe they also contributed to the frustration.

I try (but sometimes fail) to remember that so, so much of the stuff I use every day to maintain my livelihood was created by others, for the free use of others. But it's such an embarrassment of riches that sometimes one forgets to be thankful and that's when the feeling of open-source entitlement sets in (at least that's how I see it).

In the past I maintained a bunch of little plugins that got a decent amount of use, but it was a long time ago (1990's) and I think the culture was different. There was some criticism, but most people were very appreciative and if there was something they wanted added etc, they would just solve it on their end without any complaints or drama. There was no PR type workflow, arguments over licensing, or expectation of awesome docs/support for a free thing. I'm not saying I want to go back to that per se, but when I think about maintaining that type of project now, it sounds fatiguing instead of exciting.

Not sure what my point is... I guess just to say thanks and that I can totally understand why you'd want to stop supporting the code. But it is used and appreciated, and the fact that you nurtured it for so long is an achievement on its own. Cheers!

While you are fielding little requests, I'd personally like to be able to collapse/expand the areas in the "Location Bar" pane/drawer on the left (where branches/tags/stashes are listed). For instance, I often have a lot of local branches and would like to be able to focus on them rather than the remote branches. As it stands there isn't much vertical real estate for each of the lists, and there doesn't appear to be a way to resize/collapse them. SourceTree on Mac treats these as collapsible in an accordion-like way, which I personally like, but I'm sure there would be other good approaches too.

Not a huge problem because there's the cool branch list/switcher at top center, so maybe will find myself working with the Location Bar hidden mostly.
