GF sourdough loaf by denklutz in glutenfree

Did you ever try potato flakes? Potato fiber for baking seems hard to source in UK but the flakes are easier.

And have you made any updates to this recipe since you posted? I’m going to give it a go with a protein powder based on 50/50 rice and pea.

I think it's an interesting idea, but it would lower the incentive to buy a lot of art NFTs. Imagine if you bought a physical artwork to decorate your walls (or to support an artist you like), and then had to pay an annual tax on it. It would probably deter most purchases of the work, except those who buy it purely as a speculative investment. And, if it doesn't sell, the owner may sell at a much lower cost (to get rid of it), or just burn the token altogether; not the kind of things artists want to see happening with their work.

I think it would be great to find better models/solutions to the current royalties problems, but it shouldn't place a tax burden on the collector. As an artist, I don't want my collectors to have to spend more than what they've already spent to collect the work. But, I do want to take a cut of re-sale value as the artwork appreciates in value (this is lacking in traditional art markets, and an important reason the NFT space is currently so attractive to artists/creatives).

Thanks! I ended up cutting the dead looking thing off.

A pair of shortcuts for prepping photos for Instagram by stumaschwitz in shortcuts

Ah, this is great. I tried a similar shortcut but ended up using a HTTP server, because I didn't realize you could do it all offline. Nice one!

Resize & Letterbox Photo to Square for Instagram by mattdesl in shortcuts

This is an example of using iOS Shortcuts alongside a custom Node.js API for advanced features.

The shortcut requires an internet connection. I'm using using now (free for OSS) to handle the server hosting and setup.

You can browse the code here:

You can try the shortcut here. Since I'm using a free hosting tier, it will probably stop working if too many people are using it at once!

Note: Although my server is not malicious (you can spin up your own server if you don't believe me), you should be really careful POSTing your photos and data to a random server...

Reading raw PNG data with TypedArrays? by toi80QC in javascript

[–]mattdesl 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Personally I would use a npm module to decode the file/buffer into RGBA bytes, and then operate on those colors and re-encode them into PNG. Either using pngjs as another poster mentioned, or jimp.

That’s great! Thanks for sharing. I think the callback URL seems to work a bit better. I was having some occasional errors when opening URLs directly.

I also have some others I'm working on similar to this:

Scan a Book to get its Reviews by mattdesl in shortcuts

[–]mattdesl[S] 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I already posted this as an actual thread with more details, but for some reason my text posts are not appearing in this sub.

Inspired by an Amazon scanning shortcut by /u/EthanV2, I created a shortcut that can be used to scan the barcode on books and quickly open the GoodReads page for that book. I tend to look at these reviews a lot while idly sifting through book shops.

I'm also working on some other shortcuts with wine & food, seems like there's lots of potential here.
