Note that (US) governments in particular offer tons of RSS feeds.

Want to keep tabs on what Congress is up to? https://www.govinfo.gov/rss/bills.xml

Want to follow SEC press releases? https://www.sec.gov/news/pressreleases.rss

In WA state and want to follow bills related to schools? https://app.leg.wa.gov/bi/report/topicalindex/?biennium=2025...

The federal government has a big list at https://www.govinfo.gov/feeds. Your county might also have one (e.g. Spokane has https://www.spokanecounty.org/rss.aspx).

Worthy to note that 3 of those sites are powered by Drupal. Sometimes dated open-source monolithic solutions are quite helpful.

I wrote a tens of thousands of words systematic tutorial on how to write a good Midjourney prompt, I hope it helps.

BTW it should be more helpful for newbies.

FYI - the main Call to Action button on the homepage, "Start Learning" linking to /docs, gives a 404 error. On the other hand, the menu items "AI 101", "Chat GPT" work fine to navigate to the content.

I'm still insisting on using redmine at our Drupal shop after 15 years instead of switching to Jira (fight me!). We also tried using trac back in 2007 but realized we needed multi project. Every few months/years I keep looking for a more modern alternative (open source or extensible SaaS) but never find anything worth trying beyond adding a few "test" issues. (So far: Jira, Clickup, Linear, Monday, Asana)

We even taught several of our devs Ruby on Rails over the years to write various plugins. One of them quit to go try and work at Shopify, no less!

In the spirit of making my comments useful, here are the custom redmine plugins we built and maintain for ourselves:

https://github.com/evolvingweb/redmine_default_members - This plugin allows to create default members on project creation, based on Redmine groups.

https://github.com/evolvingweb/redmine_slack - This plugin allows to send notifications from your Redmine installation to Slack.

https://github.com/evolvingweb/redmine_atjs Redmine plugin that integrates At.js library to enable auto-completion based on issue titles, while editing wiki and issue pages.

https://github.com/evolvingweb/redmine_evolvingweb_extension... - bunch of random UX hacks we can’t live without. Some aren’t documented in the readme, including ability to search archived projects, and adding extra fields to redmine timesheet reports like Custom Fields on users.

https://github.com/evolvingweb/redmine_paste_text/ - integrates puppypaste.com functionality into Textile “wysiwyg” editor, allowing pasting HTML content (eg from emails) that gets automatically convert to textile

https://github.com/evolvingweb/redmine_easy_edit - allowing CMD/Ctrl + double clicking on rendered text (wiki body, issue comments, or issue description) to jump to edit page and scroll to source textile

https://github.com/evolvingweb/redmine_shortcuts - Simple Redmine plugin that provides keyboard shortcuts. (forked

https://github.com/davidegiacometti/redmine_shortcuts, simply to add ? shortcut for showing list of shortcuts, a la gmail)

https://github.com/evolvingweb/redmine_timesheet_filter_auto... - This plugins adds a super-powered autocomplete filter to time report filters so that you can filter by user, project and other available fields by simply autocompleting.

https://github.com/evolvingweb/redmine_mentions_suggestions - Extends https://www.redmine.org/plugins/redmine-mentions. The first user you mention in an issue comment will be suggested to set as assignee for the current ticket. You can uncheck the box to not change the assignee, otherwise, it will be assigned to this user.

https://github.com/dergachev/redmine_git_remote - Automatically clone and fetch remote git repositories

There’s a few others community plugins that we use:

https://projects.littlestreamsoftware.com/projects/redmine-m... - This plugin adds a wiki macro to make it easier to list the details of issues on a wiki page.

https://github.com/haru/redmine_wiki_extensions - Wiki Extensions is a plugin which adds several useful wiki macros to Redmine. - https://www.r-labs.org/projects/r-labs/wiki/Wiki_Extensions_...

https://github.com/twinslash/redmine_omniauth_google - This is a plugin for Redmine registration through google

https://github.com/savoirfairelinux/redmine-list-of-roles-me... - Show a list of all the members of a role grouped by project.

https://github.com/akiko-pusu/redmine_issue_templates - Plugin to generate and use issue templates for each project to assist issue creation.

https://github.com/peclik/clipboard_image_paste - Paste (cropped) image from clipboard as an attachment.

https://www.redmineup.com/pages/plugins/checklists - This is a issue checklist plugin for Redmine

http://redmineup.com/pages/plugins/agile - Scrum and Agile project management plugin for redmine (pro version)

https://github.com/alphanodes/additional_tags/ - bunch of hacks from alphanodes, no idea what they do

There are two great ones in downtown Montreal, apparently owned by some cool Russian people. https://www.anticafe.org/

They are often the place of Russian language and culture events, which is how I heard of them.

I love the concept, but personally having to sign in to track time seems less "streamlined" to me than just buying a drink, so I didn't have a reason to go back, but maybe if the first hour was free in exchange for installing an app, it would be worth it. (I also don't hang out in cafes or coworking spaces much these days).

Looks like gist.github.com with a wysiwyg, cool stuff.

Good initiative! I use Google Drive many times a day and share your frustrations.

At some point I was frustrated enough to research some of the promising "workarounds" for their primitive and clunky document browsing/search UI, and typed them up as comments in this LinkedIn post: https://www.linkedin.com/posts/alexdergachev_ux-search-googl...

Our team's been waiting on this for a year to start moving larger sites to Gatsby. Can't wait to try it.
