I like sharing useful things

Jan 23, 2022 • joe jenett • posted in: i-webthings tools (comments)
When I find a time saver or tool that improves my workflow, I like sharing it. Much of what I know comes from others’ generous sharing of ideas and solutions. It’s kinda like paying it forward - feels right.

Okay, so sometimes such sharing can backfire on you (or should I say me) like the recent Firefox extension I enthusiastically shared that ended up causing a big problem - disappearing recent browsing history (a key tool in my workflow). It turned my recommend to do not recommend just like that. But I digress.

I use Obsidian for creating and editing posts here and at simply. and recently bumped into a plugin to “automatically fetch the titles of pasted links” (via oldtowneast). It‘s called Auto Link Title and you can find it Settings > Community plugins in the Obsidian app. You’ll encounter a message about disabling ‘Safe Mode’ in order to use community plugins. Please note the warning message, thank you.

Anyway, I like the way it works - it simplified writing this post a bit.

Cheers!

This updated list starts with the original game by Josh Wardle and the two replicas mentioned in my previous post, followed by other replicas I’ve discovered since. I’d say Wordle is a thing - we’re having fun now!
- Wordle [via Waxy.org]
- hello wordl [via briantrice]
- Word Master [via mariusz]
- Absurdle [via zeebeecee]
- Evil Wordle [via FiloSottile]
- QUEERDLE [via UnionStayshyn]
- Green Blocks [via tdjones]
- Letterle [via inxilpro]
- Number 10 [via Fallingbadgers]
- wordle-cli [via tdjones]
Kudos, Josh!

Wordle is a cool word game. I first encountered it back in November (dwt) via Waxy.org. Great fun!

Since then, I’ve bumped into several new variations of the game, both of which allow you to play again instead of having to wait for the next daily word. One of them also allows you to change the number of letters in the word you’re trying to guess. I like 'em - so here ya go:
- hello wordl [via briantrice]
- Word Master [via mariusz]
Have fun...
if you are bored (or next time you are)...
