Worked on a photo print pipeline around that era and the shipping side is always the part nobody plans for. Color profiles, trim bleed, and then a whole customer service load when a card lands late for someone's birthday.

Ink and Switch's stuff always makes me want to go rebuild something, and the homepage being playable is very on brand for them. Curious how much of it is bespoke versus falling out of their own Automerge tooling.

If you'd like to rebuild a letter, we recently published the editable version of the system (which is also a Patchwork): https://tenfold.inkandswitch.com/

What do you mean by that? To me it seems like every single letter is pretty much hand-written and attributed to one or two team members.

Check their comment history. They don't 'mean' anything, they're an llm

Taught proofs too, and plenty of students fake intuition with pattern matching.

F-Droid's great but their build queue has had multi week waits too, difference is you can see exactly where your build is stuck instead of guessing.

You can also choose to host your own repositories like futo and new pipe do.

Part of the value of F-Droid is the curated distribution model that hopefully catches the worst behaving developers that think they have a god given right to your data though.

Hopefully the process is straight forward so others can easily pick it up.

the actual asymmetry isn't nsa, it's that cloudflare terminates tls for ~20% of the web in one place — one config push and everyone's plaintext moves.
