having just spent a week camper-travelling Norway, hiking mountains and glaciers, swimming in fjords really put some things into perspective for me - I should take more vacations

This inspired me. I think adventure might be part of our nature that needs more or less attention, but it somehow needs to be maintained to be achieved. Hehe, this might be simple thoughts, reading what i wrote.. but I am gratefull for you reminding me of the importance of fresh perspectives deriving from ones own willing exploratory experience.

I'd been listening to di.fm for years, and have been missing a MacOS app. Thanks, Antigravity, for making the world of personalized software really easy: fifteen minutes and two small bugs later, github.com/haykinson/difmplayer gives me a Spotify-style player. Yay!

Dang, DI is nice! pretty sure I stumbled upon it before but it slipped out of my attention. Re: your project, it'd be nice to add a screenshot (or even link to a small demo video). As an aside I thought of tiny player as a good interface for DI. www.catnapgames.com/tiny-player-for-mac/

I am a remote worker, and has been for 4 years now. It works great. But the owner of the office I've been renting have sold the building, and the new owner has different visions. I could work from home, but my 3 month daughter is a screamer. I had a great, cheap deal. All alternatives I find is like 3x the price.

You gave me an , Airbnb but for office space, you can only go in the day, get at least a desk/chair/internet. Might exist already idk.

replied to:

Not a bad idea. I know some people rent a single desk in some other companies office. Problem is you kinda need to know the owner to find those deals

A company called Spacious to do this with restaurant spaces that aren’t used during the day. Always seemed like a good idea to me, but they went under.
