• Published “No Longer My Favorite Git Commit”

Refactoring English

• Continued working on blogging chapter
• Reached out to eight companies about sponsoring the book

fusion

fusion is an open-source RSS reader I found when looking for an RSS aggregator to host on my NixOS system. I like that it’s written in Go and uses SQLite as a backend, so it’s pretty easy to self-host. The maintainer is very responsive to PRs as well.

• Pulled RSS parsing into a dedicated package
• Refactored RSS item parsing
• Simplified the logic in CheckValidity
• Removed the feed ID from ParseGoFeedItems
• Fixed inconsistency in build time calculation
• Change sorting to sort feeds by name rather than URL

ScreenJournal

ScreenJournal is basically Goodreads, but for TV and movies. Or letterboxd, but focused on small communities.

• Make ratings optional

Misc

• Submitted a small fix to LeechBlockNG
