Trying this since YouTube just started blocking my ad blocker. It seems to be working well on Linux.

I didn't find a feedback button on the app itself, so if the authors are reading, some things I miss from using YouTube's website:

- Videos in new tabs; - Search bar always visible.

I also noticed that Youtube prevents me from watching videos on their site starting today because I have an adblocker (uBlockOrigin) installed.

In the video that shows the stolen tools in the warehouse, there are hardly any Ryobi tools (HomeDepot's cheap tool brand). This is in stark contrast to many of the recent woodworking videos on Youtube that feature craftspeople using Ryobi tools (without explicitly mentioning an HD sponsorship). The thieves know a good tool, and HD is trying to fool the rest of us that their Ryobi tools are any good.

Logseq's git auto-commit is a great insurance policy and should make recovery a breeze.

Maybe someone knows how to solve a common sharing issue, I didn't see it mentioned here:

I have a single ultra wide screen and would like to share a virtual area that has a normal size (16:9) with people via Google Meets, Slack, etc. Otherwise I have to share a window, stop, share another one etc.

Really bad, especially during some on call emergency session.

So far I couldn't make it work, only Zoom had this feature at some point but nobody uses Zoom where I have worked.

CueCam Presenter solves this quite elegantly: You can prepare a script with a card for each window you want to share. Then you can just select the card during the presentation and it will share just that window.

I also have a single large screen. So I put the CueCam window on the right, top to bottom. And the windows I want to share in the bottom left quadrant. There I can make them smaller, with the correct aspect ratio, so that participants with smaller screens can see all the detail they need.

That leaves the top left quadrant for my meeting window where I can see the meeting participants.

I'm also experimenting with the two companion apps: Shoot to use my iPhone camera and control zoom from CCP; and Video Pencil to draw on my video.

I get the points about not needing a formalised system for diagrams, even if C4 is quite light touch in my opinion (I never go down to the code level).

However, I do have to credit structurizr, which outputs C4 diagrams, as a great productivity boost. One model producing multiple views at all specificities is fantastic compared to mermaid, plantuml, etc, where every diagram needs to be self contained and define and redefine the same components over and over. Branching off, editing the model, presenting ideas, has been a very successful workflow for me.

Plus one for structurizr. Its model driven approach makes it a lot easier to keep the diagrams consistent with the code: You describe the architecture, and structurizr renders the diagrams.
