  1. https://www.jotbird.com

    A small tool that does one thing: publish Markdown and give you a link—no accounts, no setup, no project scaffolding. Paste or write Markdown, click Publish, and you get a human-readable URL you can share immediately. You can update or delete the page later using the same link.

    The idea came from frustration with how oddly hard it still is to put a Markdown document on the web without turning it into a repo, a static site, or a login-gated doc. JotBird is editor-light but publishing-first, and I’m now exploring CLI and editor integrations so it can act as a simple publishing layer for tools people already use.

  2. Thank you for the feedback!
  3. Do you have trees where you live? :) Because we have above-ground power lines in much of the US, wind and ice are always bringing branches down on power lines.
  4. The majority of Americans didn't fly anywhere last year and I'm not sure they would agree with your assessment. This is a case where more democracy — putting region airports on ballots — makes a lot of sense. If the majority of people vote for it, then by all means, subsidize it.

  6. > Putting all of your money into Bitcoin/gold right now is a terrible idea for an event predicted to occur in 20 years.

    How is it a worse idea than, say, putting all of your money into your 401k fund for 20 years?

  7. Genius was working on something similar for a while, but I don't think it ever took off: https://genius.com/web-annotator
  8. But what happens in the morning when people wake up to an empty car battery and they need to drive to work?
  9. Some of it is, yes. But a lot of the water flowing through the Albuquerque stretch comes from the Colorado River basin. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/San_Juan–Chama_Project
  10. This isn't true. I live in Albuquerque about 1/4 of a mile from the river and there's literally no water anywhere. The ditches are dry, the reservoirs in the northern part of the state are tapped out, and the Albuquerque Water Authority stopped diverting water from the Rio Grande several months ago.
