Wow. Is this because I wrote the following on my blog?
"Find video-trimmer-mode useful? Want me to publish to MELPA? Enjoying this blog or my projects? I am an indie dev. Help make my work sustainable by sponsoring.
Need a blog? I can help with that. Maybe buy my macOS/iOS apps too ;)"

All of your links to your own posts in your blog seem to be broken -- relative links need a "/" at the beginning, I think?
Hey, thanks for reporting. I had a couple of links that went haywire. Please lemme know if you run into other issues. First link to https://xenodium.com/seek-and-you-shall-find was broken. Should work fine now.

Everything seems like a nail these days. Probably uses his smartwatch to spread butter, too.
lol I did work in the smarwatch space for a good chunk of time. While I totally get the nail thing, this is as quick/lightweight as it gets after the command line, which is a lot more cumbersome for this use case.

i love this but dont use emacs. i wish that existing tools were lighter weight at video trimming. Screenflow is the lightest i know of but fails badly at some video formats and sometimes OoMs. if it had a better architecture streaming bytes i feel like it might not have that problem.
any other light weight trimming people have?

I'm a big fan of ScreenFlow, but light it is not ;) If you just want to trim and assuming you are on macOS, QuickTime's "Edit > Trim..." does the job. It's what I used before doing the Emacs thingy.

If you're a beginner (like me), I built a little space-invaders-like game to help me practice the kana https://xenodium.com/mochi-invaders-now-on-the-app-store It's free (no ads nor funny business).

Hits home for me. I tried hard to free my blog (https://xenodium.com) of any of the yucky things I try avoid in the modern web (tracking, paywalls, ads, bloat, redundant js, etc). You can even read from lynx if that's your cup of tea.
ps. If you'd like a blog like mine, I also offer it as a service https://LMNO.lol (custom domains welcome).
While Emacs itself is not entirely immune to software rot (external dependencies and all), it’s truly amazing how little to no rot is experienced by elisp software (packages). If you find an Emacs package written 15 years ago, the chances of successfully running out of the box are incredibly high.
If I were buying rather than donating, it wouldn't factor in at all.
I build software. If I build useful things, there's a demand.
TIL where I live is now relevant to some.
