Love the way the books are available to be browsed.

Sorted by downloads, viewable as collections and by series. It's a great experience for someone new to the classics.

Nice work


After switching a lot of programming fonts and using Fira Code for a long time, I've now ended up using whatever the default font is that comes preset on VS Code


By the time I could afford an iPod, they had discontinued the classic, so I got the Sony A50.

Doesn't feel as nostalgic but does the job. Also acts as a Bluetooth receiver and USB DAC


I replaced my desk and chair with a standing desk and a walking treadmill. I get at least 2 hours of walking per day out of it and it's benefited me a lot.

No longer have back pain and it just keeps the mind fresh throughout the day.

It took a bit of getting used to, but I can now type without making many errors. I walk at 2 km/h

Due to getting a bit of activity at the beginning of the day also makes me motivated to go out for a run in the evening.

you also need to take care of that burnout. Take a break, spend some time to recover and then get into the habit of moving throughout the day. Use a pomodoro timer to remind you of taking breaks


I just use the mode that works better in different applications.

I prefer sepia background for reader mode and ebooks. Night themes always for text editors.

It also matters a lot on when the room is brightly lit or not.


I'd recommend freecodecamp. Starts from the basics and ends every section with a project


This article looked like a deliberate sarcasm or the author's points were very weak.


For Windows people, Edge also works as a great epub reader.


Having EPUB support in the base OS install, effectively, is a game changer, so I am thrilled Edge has this and I do use it occasionally. Though I've generally been of the opinion Edge is still mostly a poor/underfeatured document reader.


Don't think it can run .MOBI, do you have any alternatives for that?


Most non-fiction books that I've started and quit reading before 25% was because they felt like the content that could fit in a blog post had been stretched to over 300 pages.

I've found that summaries can give you quite a good idea of what the book is about in most cases. I read the full book if the summary interests me.
