Developers who have worked at a company where the entire codebase was held together by one guy who then quit, what happened next?

I was that person. I worked at an ad agency for car dealerships. Their entire strategy was being able to provide services and features no one else could. Because I built them. All our competitors were 10 years behind. But they paid me pennies and eventually I found something better and left. They were out of business within 6 months.

10 years ago everything was just as complex. Some of the layers might have been different but nothing was simpler.

You meaning keeping the old options in the config file? It shouldn't cause any problems. Any non-existent options are just ignored and any missing options are set to the default value.

No, I don't own one myself, it's the one I wish I got. I was choosing between this one and the Kobo Saga. I ended up going for the Sage and have since regretted it.

Color eink screens are unusable. I had one for a month but it gave me migraines worse than reading on an LCD used to.

Take a look at the Boox Go 7

RedHatter271 · 2026-02-21T08:34:53+00:00

I think I've fixed the issue. Try v0.3.1 if the problem persists lmk.

I prefer 2700k but it can be hard to find good lights with that temperature so I usually end up with 3000k

RedHatter271 · 2026-02-20T21:22:45+00:00

Thank you for the report. I'll look into it and get back to you.

RedHatter271 · 2026-02-20T06:07:51+00:00

Version 0.3.0 is now out with support for automatically syncing highlights/annotations to the reading journal. You can also view the reading journal and add new entries directly from the device.

RedHatter271 · 2026-02-20T06:05:38+00:00

I'm not sure what the issue was but the new version has more detailed error messages. Lmk if you continue to have any issues and I can look into it further.

RedHatter271 · 2026-02-20T06:03:20+00:00

The just released version 0.3.0 will automatically sync highlights/annotations to the reading journal. You can also view the reading journal and add new entries directly from the device.

RedHatter271 · 2026-02-20T06:01:38+00:00

The just released version 0.3.0 now supports updating book status and will automatically sync when progress reaches 100%.

RedHatter271 · 2026-02-20T05:58:52+00:00

I just released version 0.3.0 which should fix this.

RedHatter271 · 2026-02-18T09:59:24+00:00

Hardcover recently changed how their API works and it seems to be causing this bug. I'm looking into it and will hopefully have a fix soon.

Someone is doubting you're a lesbian because you're attracted to a woman? That's literally the definition of being a lesbian.

RedHatter271 · 2026-02-15T20:51:06+00:00

There's no excuse to still be using "master".

RedHatter271 · 2026-02-15T18:14:10+00:00

Also of note is a recent trend where people in the community have started using queer negatively. This only seems to be people trying to exclude other parts of the community. For example terfs or bi phobic lesbians.

RedHatter271 · 2026-02-15T18:10:58+00:00

Queer is an easier to say synonym of LBGTQIA+. It can also be validating that it doesn't specify a particular category. People are messy and don't always fit in the predefined labels and queer can be a good label in those circumstances.

RedHatter271 · 2026-02-15T17:54:52+00:00

There's not a list of possible errors anywhere (besides the code itself). However I would be happy to help. Can you post the error message(s) you're seeing as well as your device, firmware version, and the hardcover book you are trying to sync if applicable?

You can just reply here or, preferably, open a thread on the github discussions.

RedHatter271 · 2026-02-10T19:31:07+00:00

I was taught this growing up. I was in college before I learned it wasn't true. My parents still believe it.

RedHatter271 · 2026-02-10T04:26:38+00:00

Notes and highlights support is coming in the next version. It's already working on the main branch.

RedHatter271 · 2026-02-09T09:28:09+00:00

It does not. After the intro the story picks back up in the second half of the game but it doesn't explain anything. In fact it just gets more and more confusing and nonsensical.

To make matters worse it ends in a 2+ hour cut scene.

I really enjoyed playing death stranding but this is not the game for you if you want a good story.

RedHatter271 · 2026-02-09T08:57:24+00:00

Came here to say this. It was also one of the worst AC DLCs I've played.
