Bonus points if it includes other types of constraints: e.g, time it takes to make dinner, propose different recipes to avoid trips to the market.

LOTS of bonus points if it *suggests* events to get the family out of the routine: Thu is looking free? Go hike with the neighbors.

2) A *family* calendar that can generate day/week schedules based on the constraints it is given.

E.g: Mom has meetings at this and that time. Dad on other days. Kids need to be picked at school between 3 and 3:30pm. Jr has karate at Weds.

Now, who-takes-who-when?

1) Syncthing "middleware": don't just sync files between devices, but specify logic of what should happen when a device "sends" or "receives" the file.

E.g: NAS stores music files in high-res MP3 or FLAC, but you want (part of?) them in your phone as lower-res format.

It would be a good project for me to use and learn more of Go, and it would work well with what I had in mind when writing https://raphael.lullis.net/thinking-heads-are-not-in-the-clouds/

Just too big of a project for me to do it now.

I think I need to start posting about Ideas for products (or maybe features?) that I don't have the time/skills to work on:

It started as some incoherent rambling about the lack of music players that could manage remote music collections decently. It ended up as a incoherent rambling against the silo-ing of our data into apps. https://raphael.lullis.net/thinking-heads-are-not-in-the-clouds/

The more I learn what CSS3 and SVG can do with any reasonably modern browser, the less I tolerate frontend frameworks that do not separate behavior from presentation.

Every HTML5 framework wants to reinvent their own little precious wheel, when they could make *one* single UI toolkit and have completely decoupled CSS themes/skins.

So yesterday I got the first (paid!) request to add a feature on https://hub20.io from someone who is working on what is likely to become the first (excluding my own) production instance.

A hundred bucks, but feels like a million.

Does anyone have a non-Google recommendation for an Android keyboard? I never realized how much the stock one sucks and I *really* don't want to go back to gboard.

The problem with Facebook shows how fragile centralization is.

Too many users relying on one company. Too many products and subsidiaries controlled by one corporation. Too many services dependent on same infrastructure.

It was at the top of Facebook's popularity that I learned about Dunbar's number: humans' brains evolved to deal with ~150 people, and this is the average size of our social networks. Maybe it is time to think about Dunbar Corporations. More than 150 headcount? Break it apart.

@cj I wanted to take a look at the go-fed site, but it seems that you have an expired cert?

Anyway, I am wondering about the feasibility of letting communick users bring their own ids (for context, see https://mastodon.communick.com/@raphael/106825107786781891), and turn into communick into a "ActivityPub-as-a-service provider". I asked for some feedback from the Pleroma people here https://git.pleroma.social/pleroma/pleroma-meta/-/issues/59 but I am wondering if you have any thoughts on the matter?

Finally turning the Fairphone with /e/ OS into my daily driver. Now I need to resist the temptation of installing Twitter and any Google app, and use the opportunity to (a) implement the Twitter bridge into communick and (b) start self-hosting calendar/contacts, maybe even maps and navigation?
