Butterick’s Practical Typography

A generous offering of typography tips and an explanation for their reasons primarily for the web, but also for print media.

GitHub - synesthesiam/voice2json: Command-line tools for speech and intent recognition on Linux

Very advanced assortment of pre-trained and trainable voice commands. Embeds perfectly in unix pipe flows.

This seems like a real interesting project to glue words and intents together as soon as a voice snippet is available.

I am not sure if it does wake word detection on its own.

GitHub - binwiederhier/ntfy: Send push notifications to your phone or desktop using PUT/POST

Amazingly simple application. Can be self-hosted.
All you need is curl, but of course it can be done via webhook (so basically any online app will be able to connect), or any other way to simply PUT/POST an http request.

Similar goals to gotify, but 3 major differences:

  • Provides hosted instance to quickly get you started testing it out
  • uses publically accessible notification streams so less secure especially on the hosted instance
  • has a broader scope for features with e.g. file attachments and click actions for notifications
Replacing Alexa - Hacking on and rooting the Amazon Echo

A blog entry of how somebody got access to an echo and reprogrammed it with his own command interface instead of Alexa.

GitHub - mickael-menu/zk: A plain text note-taking assistant
