Okay frick it, I'm announcing the project I've been working on. It's called Reams, a markdown editor that syncs over atproto spaces. It works offline, doesn't require a login, and has a bunch of features packed in. Try it at reams.ink, install the PWA for the best experience!
Screenshot of the Welcome document for when you load up reams.ink, it's got tabs and a ribbon bar, and frontmatter and brief information on how to use it. It's dark background with lots of boxes and straight lines.

Every defence of X is always "it's where all the people are" and never seems to mention that by being on X you are directly, via ad revenue or subscription, putting money in the pocket of the worst people on the planet. You are funding evil and using pathetic excuses to justify it.

Just want to emphasize: this is entirely built with CSS scroll snapping and view timelines – no JS gesture handling or animations. This means we get high frame rate fluid momentum and elastic physics matching the platform for free. It feels native because it really is – modern CSS is pretty amazing.

we have an idea for communities in the app that we're calling "spaces" — places where people can gather around shared interests or social groups. here's a peek at some early prototypes. these are explorations, not polished or final. looking for feedback, esp from community builders 👀

Autumn is in full force with a foggy morning. Brought the camera with me and did a smol shooting for my weather app @oscars.love. I’m so proud of it knowing all the work that went into it the last 5(?) years. I really need to finally get this on the App Store haha 😅 #BuiltInPublic #IndieDev

In this update, I focused on polish and squashing a bunch of small bugs. Tapping a day now takes you to its hourly forecast, and ensembles have their own button there with a refreshed design. Now on TestFlight 👉️ testflight.apple.com/join/xf5iJcHh #BuiltInPublic #IndieDev #Swift 🧵1/2
Graphic for Oscar Weather on a blue gradient background titled "Ensemble UI & Bug Fixes." Three iPhone screens show the app. The left screen shows the 12-day forecast, mostly sunny with highs between 25° and 29°, and a "More >" link next to the section title. The middle screen shows the hourly detail view titled "Saturday, 12:00 PM" with an "Ensemble" button in the top left, a temperature curve peaking at 27°C, and rows for wind, humidity, pressure, clouds, soil temperature, soil moisture, and evaporation. The right screen shows the redesigned Ensemble page for Thursday, Oct 15, rated "Uncertain," with a short explanation of forecast agreement and a red band chart of the expected high ranging from 19° to 29°. A small cat logo sits in the bottom-right corner.

Oscar's newest update brings early weather station support in Europe. Pin your favorite or nearest station's temperature to the top, glance at the three closest, or dig into the last 24 hours of data. Now on TestFlight 👉️ testflight.apple.com/join/xf5iJcHh #BuiltInPublic #IndieDev #Swift
Promotional graphic for Oscar Weather on a blue gradient background titled "Weather Stations," with the subtitle "*Europe only for now." Three iPhone screens show a weather app. The left screen shows Leipzig at 19° under a sunny sky, with 34% cloud cover, 6.8 km/h wind, and an hourly forecast rising from 19° now to 23° at 2 PM. The middle screen shows a five-day forecast, then a new "Weather Stations" section listing three nearby stations with small temperature graphs: Leipzig Holzhausen (5.9 km SE) at 18.5°, Leipzig/Halle (13.9 km NW) at 18.8°, and Bad Lauchstaedt (34.7 km W) at 18.7°. Below that, an Environment section shows air quality gauges: AQI 37, PM2.5 37, PM10 21, and O₃ 18. The right screen, in dark mode, shows details for the Leipzig Holzhausen station. It reads 18.5° temperature, 10.8° dew point, 61% humidity, 5.0 km/h SE wind, 8.3 km/h gusts, and 1024 hPa pressure. Below are line charts for temperature and dew point (peaking at 24°, dipping to 10°) and wind. A small cat logo sits in the bottom-right corner.

nitter.net is down. xcancel.com may go soon, too. all the respect to the folks at nitter for their services so far, but to be honest, X completely locking itself out of the web is probably a net positive for us all in the long term
Cease and desist
On 24 August 2026 cease and desist letters have been sent by X Corp. demanding a permanent takedown of Nitter instances and the project's repository.

nitter.net is offline and development has stopped for the time being. I'm seeking legal advice and won't be commenting further on the specifics for now.

Thank you to everyone who used, hosted, packaged, donated and contributed to Nitter over the past seven years.
