I wonder why does it crash. It uses WebKit as renderer. Can you give an example of a page on which it does crash?


Unfortunately, I have been just ignoring these lately, with the intention of troubleshooting later. Now seems like a good time to at least start taking notes of problematic pages. Cheers.


This can be a way to trick street surveillance/face recognition systems.


Thank you for this service. What database are you using when looking for intersections?


It's a large graph database that I've prepared myself over two years, as a kind of part-time hobby. It's largely an automated scrape of metadata available on wikipedia, goodreads, ISBNdb etc.

Intersections are sourced from public ratings and reviews across the web. E.g. these books are all liked by one person so are can be made to intersect in the db - https://radicalreads.com/noname-favorite-books/


Fantastic effort, thank you very much!


Whats the point in merging these tools into one complex tool if they work fine together as they are?


And many of them should be fired for choosing SPA way where its not necessary and only creates bigger initial loading times/eats more RAM.


Thank you.

But having RSS as an option would be even better for those who already use RSS readers.


I appreciate the tip, but I like the email format more. Reminds me of writing letters and feels more personal.


I also prefer RSS, so I'll second that suggestion. It saves my time and prevents mixing up my inbox (work) with my blog browsing (recreation). To me at least, blogs with RSS feel more personal because they remind me of a decade ago when the web was more open and personal instead of subsumed by social networks.

Another suggestion would be to make the tags clickable! Why bother tagging something Elixir if I can't click that and see the other posts on Elixir?


To each their own :) Yeah I'm working on updating the site over the weekend with clickable tags, searching, and comments.


Excuse me, whats the price of V1? Cant find it on your website.


V1 is $189


What problems is it causing? How does not affecting other "70%" change things?


Let's say you have two groups of people. One group is pro-skub, the other group is anti-skub.

If you run an ad in the newspaper that says 'pro-skub people want to literally kill all anti-skubs', that is broadcasted to everyone. People outside of the target group can independently fact check it and/or apply pressure to the paper itself to remove an obviously fake and inflammatory ad.

Now let's say you run that same ad on Bookface. You target specifically the anti-skub people, and especially those that are already predisposed against those that are pro-skub. Even if your ad is obviously fake, you're contributing to the radicalization of a group which increases divisiveness. This becomes much harder to independently fact check because when you search that ad on Dooble you find results which seem to reinforce that ads message because all of these algorithms are optimizing for engagement.


Because that 70% still votes:

30% (increase) + 70% (decrease) = No difference

30% (increase) + 70% (no change) = Increase


Looks very similar to another open-source prototyping tool:

http://pencil.evolus.vn/

https://github.com/evolus/pencil


pencil kicks ass, blows omnigraffle out of the water and you don't have to find with omnigraffle every few weeks when they do an update and claim again that your license is invalid or pirated!


And funny, just did a search and found a cracked copy in under a minute. Looks like that DRM really works...

It's like the "pls no pirate" messages on DVDs that pirates never see.


For what it's worth, I'll share my counter-anecdote.

I've never once had a license problem with Omnigraffle and I've been a paying customer for 10+ years.


It uses DDG json api, which gives different search result than their web version in a lot of cases.
