Just playing around with the new Mastodon app @MonaApp. There are a few nice touches, but I really like the ability to filter the feed by type of post (eg. original, boost, reply, thread) and type of content (eg. link, media).

I like the idea of just seeing what links people have recently shared or boosted. Really cool to see the kind of features that app developers are introducing!

Excited to share a new side project that I've been tinkering with: a way to create videos from HTML using @eleventy, Azure text to speech, Puppeteer and ffmpeg.

I think this is a great way that you can take your HTML content and share it in another format.

You can see a demo project on GitHub here:

I created another Apple Shortcut to play with GPT-3 on your iPhone or Mac - this time, you can share a webpage from the share sheet and ask GPT a question about it. Here’s a demo:

I just found out that with the ‘Spoken Content’ accessibility feature on iOS, you can listen to ebooks and webpages aloud!

I’ve been listening to a book in the Books app and I’ve been surprised by how good it is - it skips to the next page automatically and even continues reading the book if you jump to another app. I’ve included a video showing how to enable the feature below.

I've been playing around with a #GPT3 idea for education and self-directed learning - give it an article, and ask it to generate questions that test the reader's comprehension.

Seems like it does a pretty good job so far. You can play around with the prompt in the OpenAI playground here:
