• From RSS to My Kindle

  Very neat. I've been doing this with Calibre (https://calibre-ebook.com/), which involves plugging it into your PC via USB. Simple RSS feeds work with little configuration, and more complicated news sites require writing a custom python "recipe". This project uses Amazon's email gateway, which I think is limited to 25 articles per month (don't quote me on this). - Source: Hacker News / 8 days ago

• Gio UI – Cross-Platform GUI for Go

  Lol. One of good cross platform example is Calibre [1], built with Python and Qt. And it’s the only one I carried with me from Windows XP/10 to macOS, through Linux. Another is Sublime Text. [1]: https://calibre-ebook.com/. - Source: Hacker News / about 1 month ago

• For those who've recently switched from Windows to Mac, what's the one app you miss the most?

  Xrecode III, as a companion to my music player, for splitting with .cue files and (sometimes) converting between formats. The next best alternative seems to be fre:ac, but fre:ac is not quite good. Source: about 1 year ago

• How can I convert flac files to opus and have all metadata(title, album, artist tags) plus embedded image to transfer to the target file? I just can't get it to work.

  Https://xrecode.com/ should be able to do it is you can use it free for 30 days. I have used this program to convert 150k FLACs to 500kbps OGG and they sound really good. I like this audio converter so much I bought a copy of the newest version. Source: about 1 year ago
