Indiepaper: A read later service built for the open web

Have you ever stumbled upon an article that you want to read, but don't have the time to read right away? Indiepaper is here to help! Send your articles to Indiepaper using the bookmarklet, macOS app, or iOS Workflow, and Indiepaper will extract the article contents and save it for later by publishing to your micropub server.

Indiepaper pairs wonderfully with microsub servers like Aperture and Indie Reader apps like Together, Indigenous, and Monocle.

Yet another IndieWeb project for those cold dark winter nights.

Mermaid

Ever wanted to simplify documentation and avoid heavy tools like Visio when explaining your code?

This is why mermaid was born, a simple markdown-like script language for generating charts from text via javascript.

Looks useful in the Asciidoc context, but according to sources this is still very rough around the edges. Need to keep an eye on this though.

Sozi

Sozi is a zooming presentation editor and player.

Unlike in most presentation applications, a Sozi document is not organised as a slideshow, but rather as a poster where the content of your presentation can be freely laid out. Playing such a presentation consists in a series of translations, zooms and rotations that allow to focus on the elements you want to show.

If you ever need your own local Prezi, this is an option.

Return of the Tentacle

"Return of the Tentacle - Prologue" is a fan project and the unofficial sequel to the iconic adventure game "Day of the Tentacle". Purple Tentacle is back and tries to conquer the world and enslave humanity once more. The three friends Bernard, Laverne and Hoagie make their way back to the mansion of the mad scientist Dr. Fred – time travel should help saving the world.

Let's save this for those cold winter evenings...

Homebrew Website Club Nuremberg is back from hiatus! Had a great time w/ @cowglow and our newest member. Missed @jkphl though. :(

Running @Docker containers on Windows is cool. Until you run into weird CRLF/LF issues. Will this madness ever end? https://github.com/docker/labs/issues/215

Dokku - The smallest PaaS implementation you've ever seen

Powered by Docker, you can install Dokku on any hardware. Use it on inexpensive cloud providers. Once it's set up on a host, you can push Heroku-compatible applications to it via Git. They'll build using Heroku buildpacks and then run in isolated containers. The end result is your own, single-host version of Heroku.

Looks really nice. Don't have any use case now, though.
