This was the inspiration for the next update in dropper that became a full clip editor. The one that I've long wanted, but forgotten about. It's going to include this cropper, resize, image extractor, and trimmer.

Tiny Tool Town 🏘️
https://www.tinytooltown.com/Learned about this one from the @stipete interview @scotthanselman did on YouTube. This is proof that the internet is alive. It's such web 1.0 nostalgia to see that people can just build things! Did you know that you can literally just build things and make them exist? You don't need users, You don't need a big platform, you can just make something into existance. It seems like something we have forgotten through web 2.0 where everything as become 4 major apps all linking to each other and trying to hoard all of the attention. Scroll through tehre are some really cool apps, probably nothing that has the polish you want, or is going to change your world. What these apps have more than anything you've probably used in the recent years, is inspiration. Its xyz, but the way I wanted, or with my little twist. And no one else has to like it but me because I'm the user.

FancyGist
https://fancygist.com/I saw this in @cassido's newsletter this week and had to give it a run. I despise that there is no dark mode and it insists on burning my retinas 😤. But really this is an absolute beate of a web based markdown editor, I love the command mode to press slash and it just pops out in this whimsical animation ready for me to pick what I want.

Reply guy
https://simonwillison.net/2026/Feb/23/reply-guy/#atom-everythingI had no idea there were such things as "reply guy" as a service. I can see this as a really genuine thing where brands want to genuinely engage with their communities, quickly being taken over by slop bros to ruin everything.

https://daverupert.com/2026/02/smaller-and-dumber/Important things to remember in the age of cheap code. More code, not always more better. More code mean, more risk, more maintenance, harder to change.

An attempt at a balanced perspective on AI - ...
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FC7YGG0FzZ0THIS, THIS is how most people are feeling about AI right now. Theres lots of "oh ai bad", "but ai help", "but ai company sleezy". Cassidy did a fantastic job summarizing how most of us are feeling. Ending with well at the end of the day, I can't do anything about the bad, the best thing I can do is learn how to embrace the good cause it aint going away any time soon.

Silksong Demastered
https://nekodot.itch.io/silksong-nesThis is an abolute banger of a game on itch. It nails the nes aesthetic while keeping true to the modern silksong movements. You can play through the first boss Moss Mother, and where you start the first ascend into Bone Bottom. I was in shock when I discovered the little climb effect hornet does when you just cant quite make a jump, the hold jump for height is on point. Her downstrike with the hunters crest is perfect.
