I'm building a platform for people in my rare fruit meetup group exchange scions. I've never built a react native app, but with the help of Claude it seems possible to build for the web and iOS/Android apps with minimal experience. Hoping to make it really useful for our group before sharing it with others.

We have one near my place that I'm a member of, it's run by volunteers. They have stuff outside of tools too (camping/cooking gear). You can view the stuff their inventory before you join: https://toolsnthingslibraryperthwa.myturn.com/library/

The main downside for me is returning the items in the window they're open.

Ebooks.com has a filter for DRM free ebooks, unfortunately it's only a small subset of publishers that allow it currently

I read Phoenician Secrets: Exploring the Ancient Mediterranean by Sanford Holst recently and found it extremely interesting.

We're a dotnet shop and we're looking to rewrite our iOS and Android apps in a cross platform framework. On paper MAUI seems like the perfect fit but reading through the discussion and issues in GitHub it's nearly guaranteed this will go the way of all MS's UI products. The number of unresolved issues for fairly basic functionality and the number of developers voicing their PTSD from MAUI related development has made us steer clear.

Uno Platform or Avalonia should be a better fit.

I found it a very easy and engaging read, even though my perspective of Musk has changed over time. My one criticism is that it seems a bit premature, I feel like the most interesting part of the story is yet to come, he'll either achieve more of his goals or will self immolate.

I felt it ended quite abruptly too, and then I remembered Elon still seems healthy enough and may accomplish/mess up more.

We use Bookstack to organise most info - it's easy to setup in docker and easy to find and link articles

Thanks for the suggestion!

If you host on something like Netlify, it's pretty easy to add it as a netlify form.
