If the email body contains the word unsubscribe, send it to the promotional folder.

One rule to rule them all.


And then my banking updates go into promotions. Along with notifications I set up on streaming sites, and newsletters, and patreon posts. It's not that simple.


Someone creating a more intuitive, graph-based UI for rules would be good, otherwise it’s easy to get lost in the overlapping mess, like you have to run the ‘bank email’ rule run before the ‘promotion’ rule, but after the ‘important’ rule.

Gmail’s auto-sorting is extremely simple to look at, but is out of the user’s control, it’s like a secretary handling your letters instead of a predictable system


I receive promotions from my bank, but only because they bothered to ask my email, other banks spam robocalls.


I made the decision to leave Github a couple months ago when I retired and started heavily working on personal projects. I like the idea of radicle and used it for a while, but it's complicated to set up and maintain if you want to run your own seed node and pin your personal projects.

What I ended up with is a version of a static forge - Charm's soft-serve to host the repos and a forked version of the pico.sh pgit static site generator. I added git-bug integration to track issues in the repo and an alternative CLI to git-bug that works better when collaborating with agents.

A static forge site is very resilient to bot traffic because it only renders a limited number of commits, instead of pathologically allowing a near infinite number of URLs for bots to crawl.

I would agree with everything you say, but why not both?

We are actually facing 2 distinct problems:

- Github is a centralized, controlled git hosting, identity, collaboration platform.

- Bots are attacking any public facing interface.

So maybe the solution is:

- to keep a Radicle node private/behind fences to lower the maintenance/security burden, with eventually access to selected collaborators.

- publish the repos with a static site generator like pgit


Indeed really quick and responsive


I’d be interested in seeing those if you’re open to sharing.


This was about 8 years ago and I am not sure I ever retained a local copy of the repo. If I find it, I’ll resurrect it in a public Github repo unless there’s some NDA/IP issue.


Why doesn't he then do that and pay someone $$ to build it? This is just marketing for whatever this web3 thing is.


Do you just not know how difficult it is to transfer that amount of money without using crypto?


Insane how the entire global economy moves things of this value around all day every day and we have no problem with it.

Are you suggesting it's impossible to outsource development work to someone for $220k?


Especially if that person is in a different country than the US. Wiring money from the US to many countries is an exercise in frustration and futility.


Web3 is Ethereum, but he pays in Bitcoin which is kind of opposite. So it's definitely not a Web3 thing.

This is great. I'm going to use this with something I'm working on. The edge behavior is just what I need.

When you say limitations are a "relatively small number of clients need to share some state over a relatively short period of time," I read in another comment about a dozen or so clients, but what about the time factor? Can it be on the order of hours?


> but what about the time factor? Can it be on the order of hours?

So far I’ve focused on use cases where clients are online for overlapping time intervals. When all the clients go offline, Cloudflare will shut down the worker after some period and the replay ability will be lost. The core data structure is designed such that it could be stored in the Durable Object storage Cloudflare provides, but I haven't wired it up yet.


One more thought - any consideration of hooking this to Cloudflare's queue? Then you could optionally connect another worker to that and e.g. persist everything in their D1 SQLite database.


I haven’t looked at the queue specifically, but Durable Objects have a nice key/value storage mechanism that happens to map nicely. It would take a bit of munging to make it work for a stream instead of a single value, but I have a design in mind.


That works perfectly for what I'm using it for. Thanks for building this!


Been playing in beer leagues for a long time. There's one for everyone - whether it's hockey (my vice), baseball, softball, basketball, etc. - just tons of options.

It's half about the sport and half the people. I've made lots of friends playing hockey at midnight during the week.


This is great. I've been working on an adventure motorcycling trip planning app which has similar requirements of being able to work offline as you ride your preplanned trip.

Yours is a good example of what can be done by keeping it simple and not getting wrapped around the axle with complicated frameworks.

It makes me regret all the time I've spent trying to figure out the absolute best tech stack to use rather than just working on finishing the damn thing.


I've extensively used Osmand off-line during my overlanding trips, from Cape Town to Europe across west Africa and from Czechia to Mongolia. Why reinvent the wheel?


Everything has been done at least once. If we don't try to improve on what's out there, no progress will ever made.

I think Osmand works fine for some things but really sucks for planning long, time-bound trips, which is my use case.


In my case, looking at a very similar set of requirements for a project yet to be started, a target audience that includes both Android and iOS and people who might be reluctant to install an app (but should have the option to "offlinify" the website they use, perfect match for PWA)


I know that pain. It helped that I had a two week time constraint! I really wanted to use Svelte, but I found it nearly impossible to use without a build script.


Please please please give me a way to hear more when it's ready!

OsmAnd is fantastic, but there's room for improvement.


I'd love to hear more about what improvements you'd like to see. Nothing is ready to be shared yet, but when it is I'll announce it here first for beta testers:

You should consider changing the name to something that isn't single trail-specific.


It's open source so when it's ready you can fork it and call it anything you want. Some of the features are meant to be specific to motorcyclists. And as far as getting the word out, it's easier to make it specific to a particular community since I know where they hang out online and how to get it in front of eyeballs.


How can I hear more when it’s ready?

would love to stay up to date on this

Let's just accept you can build just about anything in any language. When I see posts like "I built X in Rust," I just assume the process was so onerous that they had to impress others by saying they did it the hardest way possible. /s


If they specify it was made in Rust, then chances are that's what's interesting about the project.

If somebody says they rewrote yes in $LANG, I might click through because even though the yes command isn't that interesting, the $LANG part may be.


Precision in this particular case is the enemy of happiness.
