This seems to have a simple solution - if you can't find any reference to a particular book by googling its title, then it likely does not exist.

You could color code results from the same author or from the same series as an already added book, since the user most likely already knows about them. Perhaps a toggle to filter these out altogether.

I've been doing this with great success for over five years with Camect, so what's new?

In addition to being an awesome piece of software, their self hosted demo server is the fastest web app I have seen in a long time ... and this is while trending on HN !

Amazing.

Now I am wondering, would it be technically possible to build a similar app but based on the syncthing protocol?

I really like syncthing but it would be cool to have a version where you could just easily share specific files with peers.

Not any longer, it seems. :/

Never mine, it's back now.

> No matter how nascent the research is into these imaging extremes, the scientists all agree on one thing: Aphantasia and hyperphantasia are not disorders. People at either extreme of the spectrum don’t have problems navigating the world.

I don't know about hyperphantasia, but aphantasia absolutely is a disorder. I have a whole stack of things to hang on my office wall, and I can't even begin to do it because I can't lay them out mentally. They've been sitting in a pile for years because I have nowhere to even begin. I can't just start hanging things because I'm going to end up unhappy about where everything is placed. Decorating things in general is very difficult. Or any sort of arranging or laying out where I don't have a representation I can physically (or digitally) manipulate to explore ideas.

I also have really poor dreaming. For most of my life I'd say I didn't even have dreams. When I do have dreams, the visual quality is shockingly bad and largely abstract and indistinct.

I also have very little autobiographical memory, which I previously didn't think was connected to aphantasia until reading this article. I do know that looking at photos of the past helps with recall, very frequently when my wife tries to describe something to me I'll have no memory of it until I can see a photo.

The funny thing is I'm actually fairly visual-driven otherwise. I learn better when I can see things. Although maybe that's actually a consequence as well, maybe other people construct mental images when listening or reading?

What does that have to do with OctoPrint?

Edit: Whoops. I'm stupid. Nevermind.

sajb commented on Roll-Invert-Unroll: An easier way to replace a duvet cover   danverbraganza.com/writin... · Posted by u/nvader

I don't see this method working very well for me since I always use duvets that are wider than the bed, which I thought was the norm. Same width as the bed makes for tug-of-war with the sleeping partner.

120 cm wide bed -> 150 cm duvet, 140-160 cm bed -> 240 cm duvet
