Habe an einem umfangreichen Fax in der Fritzbox-Oberfläche tippt und wurde etwas länger unterbrochen. Bei Rückkehr war durch den automatischen Logout der Fritzbox nach Inaktivität der getippte Text eigentlich verloren. Zum Glück hatte mein hellsichtiges Vergangenheits-Ich die Erweiterung „Form History Control“ installiert. Die war jetzt wirklich äußerst nützlich und sei hiermit empfohlen.

I shipped WidePlayer 1.1.0.

The biggest change: WidePlayer now supports Mastodon, not just supported in-feed videos on X/Twitter.

I also added per-platform width settings, quick toggles in the popup, and cleaned up the options page.

Small update, but it makes the extension feel much more like a real product.

What tiny UX fix made your project feel way better?

KoalaSync v2.4.0 is now live on Chrome &FireFox🎉

The biggest change: lazy connect.

KoalaSync no longer keeps a WebSocket connection open all the time. It now only connects to the relay server when you actually use it for a watch party.

Smaller footprint, less idle server load.

I also applied for the Chrome Web Store Featured badge today.

KoalaSync v2.3.0 is ready — now I’m just waiting for Chrome to approve the update.

This one should make the first-time experience much nicer:
• redesigned interactive onboarding
• easier room joining
• automatic switch to the Sync tab when needed
• a bunch of stability fixes for reconnects, seeking and room switching
