there's an open source alternative called CAP, which is just really wellcrafted. Um, you can see that the person was like really sweating the details and, uh, it's just a really, really great alternative. So, I've been using that recently.

Lenny's Podcast, "How a Meta PM ships products without ever writing code", lightning round, favourite recently discovered product; the guest's own spoken answer (YouTube captions). An open-source alternative to Loom, which the guest says disappointed them.

Every entry is a verbatim quote and a link to the public post it came from. Nothing is paraphrased. If it is not on record somewhere public, it is not here.

The verdict is what they actually said: loved and liked are explicit; recommended means they told others to get it; uses means they only say they use it; read is a book on their public shelf with no verdict; mixed and disliked are kept too.

A dashed affiliate link, sponsored or their own label means the post disclosed a relationship. It is shown, never hidden.

The shading behind a date shows how dated a recommendation is, for its kind of thing. Fully green is recent. It drains a quarter at a time as the post gets older, and is empty once it reads as dated.

What counts as old depends on the thing. A laptop praised four years ago has been replaced twice; a book loved twenty years ago is probably still loved. The shading is gone after about:

Stripes mean the post carries no date and the date shown is an estimate. No date at all, no shading.
