THIS IS EXTREMELY LOVELY  
If all the #Mamdani news seems too good to be true, it’s because politicians haven’t worked for the average person for decades and we’ve gotten so use to it a politician doing their job correctly seems completely foreign.

 TinyStart v1.4.0 is out!

✳️ New:
• Bloom now available as an option in Settings > Folders for opening folders (shown when Bloom is installed on your Mac).
• Search engines now support app URI templates (e.g. `dict://%s`) in addition to web URLs.
• Added macOS Dictionary (`dict`) as a default search engine.
• New option to invoke TinyStart's Emoji Picker using the 🌐 Globe key.
• Added an "Off" option for Emoji Picker Recent rows to hide the Recents section entirely.

⛏️ Fixed:
• Calculator and unit conversion now correctly handle grouped thousands separators in queries (e.g. `48,300 + 19,000` and `48.300 + 19.000`).

Get TinyStart at https://tinystart.app
Still 5€, still a one-time purchase! (If you've already got the app, hit “Check for Updates..." in Settings)

The suggestion page now links to a form for an easy way to suggest new stores and libraries.

It would be amazing if you would suggest your local library or book store. Ideally with a way how we could link to an isbn search.

Bitboxer - I Finally Built It: Bookpile

About five years ago I had an idea for a small tool. Whenever I wanted to share a book with...

The new CEO of the Wikimedia Foundation worked at J.P. Morgan and Lehman Brothers. The Foundation has now fired a longtime lead developer and disbanded the team whose job was to listen to volunteers. Most of the people they fired were union organizers. Wikipedia’s editors are now threatening to strike. To stand in solidarity with them, sign the petition:

https://bookpile.org - a landing page for books that isn't tied to any one shop.

I've wanted something like this for years - thank you @bitboxer for building it, and making it open source so anyone can contribute more shops and libraries! (Also: including libraries is such a savvy move 👏🏻)

If anyone who's not so technically inclined has shops/libraries they want added, I'm very happy to help - as is Bodo too.

Thanks to @pat for the 🌈 queer tag idea. Now all queer bookstores are highlighted 🫶.

And if you know authors or people who often recommend books, tell them about the site and don't forget to tell me your favorite book stores in your city, ideally with website URLs so that I can easily add them 🤗.

I now added the first batch of suggested bookshops. Please keep them coming. We need all the bookstores and all the libraries 📚️🤓
