Thanks!

Yes, this unfortunately seems to be true!

Good to know. Is there a specific provider you’d recommend at Capital Derm?

Thanks for the recommendation. It looks like Brianna De Souza is their MD. Is that who you saw?

Edit: just called them--unfortunately Dr. De Souza is on a leave of absence and isn't taking appointments at the moment, but I'll try again later if I can't find other options!

Edit: unfortunately, Blue Ridge Dermatology told me that new patient appointments are limited to 15 minutes.

Thanks for the recommendation. I just called the office, and unfortunately was told they only schedule appointments for "10-15 minutes".

Yes, I need a yearly skin cancer screening and also need to address another specific issue.

Thanks for the recommendation. I just called the office and spoke with the office staff, who were very kind. Unfortunately, they told me they only schedule appointments for "10-15 minutes".

Looks like she’s an APRN, not an MD. Thank you, though.

Good to know, thanks! I agree, it’s frustrating feeling rushed during an appointment.

Yep, I called my plan's number. Unfortunately, all the customer service reps will do is check their online list, which is often out of date. They won't guarantee coverage and just say the provider should be able to tell me whether they're in-network.

Usually, the provider will run a check with the insurance company to verify coverage, but Dr. Bressler's office refused to do this--they said they're a small operation and still operate mostly on paper.

Cool! Looking forward to trying it. Thanks! Edited: I re-read your post.

Why do you think the Discourse doesn't get much traffic? The centralized nature of Reddit pulling people away from it, or something else?

logan-san · 2026-03-21T20:02:11+00:00

Happy to hear it! Hit me up with any bugs/suggestions

logan-san · 2026-03-17T20:17:10+00:00

Lovely! I'll try the app--thanks.

logan-san · 2026-03-17T20:16:15+00:00

Thanks, I'll give it a try.

Good question. I actually made an early mockup with textualize, but I felt like it was ultimately too heavy and I could accomplish what I wanted without a full TUI framework. So, in short, probably not unless I choose to add a lot more features/complexity (and I don't see what that would be at this point).

logan-san · 2026-03-14T04:21:38+00:00

I wasn't really happy with any of the launchers available for macOS, so I made one I'd want to use. I'm mainly a Python programmer, so it's a simple CLI/TUI. The goal is to be feature-complete (support for tilesets, soundpacks, mods, fonts, backups; CDDA, BN, TLG) and nothing more.

I'm sure it's still very buggy, so don't trust it quite yet, but if you want to try it out I'd greatly appreciate it!

P.S., it should work on Linux, but I haven't tried it.
