#Plato is a really nice reader application for #Kobo e-readers:
https://github.com/baskerville/plato

It can't fetch my pocket articles, but #wallabag can be used with it. I don't want to spend much time switching tools right now, but I will consider this at a later time.

I just updated #doagain, my todo list for recurring tasks. It fixes some display problems that accumulated over the last years and the code is updated to #elm 0.19.1.

Go to https://github.com/karlb/doagain for the readme and code or to http://static.karl.berlin/doagain/ to launch it right away.

Get #WikDict's new offline dictionaries at https://www.wikdict.com/page/download !

It's a bit sad that Android does not have a built-in dictionary and iOS does not allow users to add custom dictionaries. How am I supposed to bring free dictionaries to the masses?

As part of #WikDict, I want to provide downloadable bilingual dictionaries. I'm not sure which formats I should provide, yet. Help me decide! What is your favorite offline dictionary software?

The free (as in freedom) bilingual dictionaries at #WikDict got an update. In addition to the usual improvements, the Swedish dictionaries got major improvements.

See http://blog.wikdict.com/2020/08/updated-dictionaries-and-major.html for more details on the update or go to directly to https://www.wikdict.com to try out the dictionaries.

I finally managed to update #Litespread to the latest react-scripts version. With all versions between 2.0 and 3.2 I had problems getting the sqlite.js working in the production build.

Let me know how these slightly faster SQL-Spreadsheets work for you: https://www.litespread.com.

Don't hesitate to ask when encountering problems. Documentation is mostly missing and error handling needs some more work, too.

Now that BitBucket stopped the #mercurial support, I'll admit that #git has won. I'm moving all my projects to git and github.

I still prefer mercurial, but I'm tired of using different VCSs for different projects.

I can really recommend https://hypothesis.works/ for #testing #python code! It makes discovering edge cases in tests so much easier!
