I used to use Spren app. It later disappeared. I still use an old apk that I preserved. Works great! This app looks great. Will try!

Pipes was ahead of its time. Built a scraper and aggregator back in 2008-2010, fetching content from over 2000 sources, pumping all of it into a Drupal website. The amount of regex transformations and other things I had in that pipeline - is in hindsight - more complex, larger scale, and more convoluted that any other nifi or airflow pipelines I built later in my career. And all of it was free. What was possible was limited only by one's creativity!

Nice app. Using moto edge 60 pro. The app navigation gets hidden under the phone navigation icons. I'd like to pay. Except without user login, I am unable to figure out if the purchase can be linkedin to my 2-3 devices (each of which may use a different Google account)
tangoalpha commented on I have tinnitus. I don't recommend it   blog.greg.technology/2025... · Posted by u/gregsadetsky

Got permanent tinnitus due to damage to auditory nerve from an accident back in 2010.

Coping was hard. Distracting yourself with various things so you dont think about it was key.

Things to try - 1) Keeping yourself distracted or occupied and trying to not be conscious about it for 50% of the day to start with, gradually improving to 90% of the day 2) White noise apps for sleep 3) Carry ear plugs at all times. Plug them in if watching a movie in a theatre or attending to an Indian wedding. Prevents worsening of the situation.

To those out there: you're not alone. The journey is different for everyone, and what helps one person might not help another — but with patience and experimentation, many find ways to manage and live fully despite it.

Looks like there is no way i can use it without giving up on screen real estate. I'd love to have it pinned in the browser toolbar and I click it when I need it. But it wouldn't allow itself to be hidden and needs to have a floating circle taking up page real-estate.

Disabled it.

The tech stack check seems to fail every time. Would love to see with the tech stack details included. Nice and fast, otherwise!

"location": { "street": "853 Watsica Flat", "city": "North Biankaview", "state": "Wisconsin", "country": "India", "zip": "72621-2558", "coordinates": { "latitude": 6.5434, "longitude": -152.386 }

Could be a useful tool if this location data is coherent. State, City, Zip, Country and Lat/Lon are each of different places.
