Cool links of the week

I collect cool, interesting links spread all over the web and share them here in weekly posts. Hope you enjoy!

What’s on my phone. I started a series on the Portuguese version of the blog where readers and friends show what they have on their phones. The first one is mine.

Don’t publish your podcast only on Spotify. I’ve been coming across small or personal podcasts that can only be listened to on Spotify. Intrigued by this trend, I created a new podcast on Spotify to find out what’s happening.

The new emojis in Unicode 17.0. They arrive in the second half of the year.

Where’s Firefox going next? You tell us. The Mozilla folks want to hear from Firefox users to define Firefox’s future.

Macrowave. A service for listening to music together. The broadcaster needs an app (available for iOS and macOS). To listen, the website is enough. Developer’s report.

Station: a social network for Gemini. A microblog, Twitter-style, running on the Gemini protocol.

Centaur slider. Just HTML and CSS!

Transfer.zip. Open source service for sending files through the cloud. (Alternative to WeTransfer.)

Lettervoxd. Rare words (~1 in 1 billion) in a corpus of subtitles from 25,000 movies. Developer’s explanation.

Scribe. An alternative, much lighter interface for Medium articles. Just replace medium.com with scribe.rip in the URL of the article you want to read. (Example.)

MeTube. Graphical interface for yt-dlp, a command-line application for downloading videos from YouTube and other platforms. Unfortunately, the installation is a bit annoying (a little less if you know Docker).

Folio. From ex-Mozilla employees involved in the late Pocket, this new app presents itself as “a new kind of read-it-later app.” It looks a lot like Pocket from the good old days.

DOGWALK. A free game made by the Blender folks to explore integration with the Godot language. For Linux, macOS and Windows.

No days off. This guy has been running every day for ten years. Ok, good for him. The cool thing is this website where he compiled the data from this decade of running into beautiful charts.

FFmpeg in plain english. An “AI” that converts natural language descriptions into an FFmpeg command.
