PocketCal - Pick dates, share a link. Pick dates, share a link, and that's your calendar. PocketCal is a free, open-source web app that lets you select dates and instantly share them. No accounts, just a link, and nothing in your way.

I built an app called PocketCal for easily sharing dates!

Flet looks very interesting. I’ve used BeeWare’s Toga in the past and was happy with it… Have you been able to compare with Flet?

I was about to suggest Open WebUI as a great self-hosted option… but really like the idea of supporting the Xnapper dev. @trey.io

Think I understand, thanks. I’m finding Brew helpful to bootstrap my Macs.

@digiglean.bsky.social - I was surprised to hear that you try to use homebrew as little as possible. Could you explain... what do you use instead?

If you have uv installed this means you can start chatting with a small model without first installing anything at all - this command will create an ephemeral virtual environment, install the necessary pieces and start a chat UI running in your terminal:

uvx --with llm-smollm2 llm chat -m SmolLM2

Dec 22: Why we use our own hardware at Fastmail Why we use our own hardware and what the tradeoffs and costs look like

Another fantastic example of the OYOC… Owning Your Own Cloud. @mkennedy.codes would approve. www.fastmail.com/blog/why-we-...

I love the language and agree with all those trends. Wish there was a was to address the lack of a mobile story in #python.

I just published my 27th post. A bit personal and vulnerable, and I really wonder how I'm going to feel about it in the morning, but for now - here it is:

Is this only for photographers? What do you carry on the side pockets?

That’s interesting. How does Tart differ from OrbStack?

Wow, that’s very impressive. I’ve been wondering if my Mac Mini was beefy enough to host a stack of services for me. Guess I know the answer now.

What services do you run?

I’m sure @pythonbytes.fm and @mkennedy.codes are already aware of newspaper3k?

Yes, that’s a cool uv feature… but TIL about newspaper3k. Wow!

I look forward to reading it… but believe it’s scandalous that you didn’t choose FastAPI?

My favorite part… “and use no react”!
