The Future of the TabLinks Safari Extension

Nov 4th, 2018

[Tweet : Bluesky : nvUltra]
A long time ago I wrote an extension for Safari called TabLinks. It simply generated Markdown lists of links to all the currently opened tabs. It’s been updated a few times over the years, but recent changes to Apple’s handling of Safari extensions has discouraged me from further updates. browser, extension, safari, service, tablinks, webdesign

Oct 9th, 2018

[Tweet : Bluesky : nvUltra]

In the past I’ve always come back to SleepPhones, but the last pair I bought (the Bluetooth ones) broke quickly. So my search began again, and it’s time for another quick (soft) hardware review. bluetooth, hardware, sleep
