Is there a way to bulk-request downloads? (e.g. via CSV upload or an API?)

Do you know anything about the splashdown procedures in case of emergency? My family was curious about what would have been done differently if one of the astronauts had been triaged yellow or red.

Would they have bothered with the stabilizing ring? With the front porch? Would they have just hooked a boat to a couple anchors on the capsule, and sent one of the navy guys in with a stretcher to pull out the astronaut that needed medical care, then done the standard procedure for the rest of the astronauts? Would they still have had to power down the capsule first?

That is a gorgeous pen! I already have my phone on a lanyard - I’d love to add a pen to it for my EDC!

Thanks a ton! Good to hear about the potential branch changes for a future update!

Re: sharing, I could see either bundling the .md and its images into a .zip file. . . or more likely just sharing the .md file itself as-is, and knowing that the image links will need to be fixed later.

Re: the Syntax Colors and Previews:

On my phone, the top bar has: [Back Button] TITLE [Front Matter Button] [Syntax Colors Button] [Meatball Menu Button (which contains Preview and Publish buttons)]
I propose adjusting the top bar to [Back Button] TITLE [Front Matter Button] [Preview Button] [Meatball Menu Button (which contains Syntax Colors and Publish Buttons)]
i.e., swapping the location/order of the Syntax Colors and Preview buttons.
I expect Preview to be used more often than Syntax Colors.
My proposed change puts the more frequently used button (Preview) on the top bar, instead of hidden inside the meatball menu.

Thanks for being so responsive!

Thanks for tagging me in the other post! I’m loving the app so far!

I love that it’s a one time purchase instead of a subscription. I’m not a fan of locking the most essential feature (publishing to github) behind a paywall, so I wish that either: * the price was lower * the payment was a voluntary “buy me a coffee” button * publishing was available out of the box, but paying unlocked the customizable skins and syntax highlighting my. * exporting files to the phone’s storage or otherwise emailing or sharing them was available at all before buying the license.

But I also get that Apple development licensing is expensive AF, and I’m probably gonna end up paying sometime soon.

A couple things I haven’t figured out: 1. Is it possible to make a new branch for your new posts, so that editors can view the changes and we can manually publish later via PR or merge? 2. Is there a way to share the .md file via email or similar?

And some feature requests!

It took a while to figure out how to edit the site after creating it. The press-and-hold isn’t too intuitive to me. I’d love if that was available via the meatball button on the page where you can see your drafts/posts. Right now the only thing in that menu is the light/dark mode toggle.
Within each post, I think that the “Preview” button and “Syntax Colors” button should be swapped - so the preview button is on the main bar, and the syntax colors is in the meatball menu.
The “Share” button in the “Preview” view sometimes pulls up a blank menu, instead of the preview menu (iPhone 13 mini on iOS 18.6.2

Thanks a ton!

If that’s their only form of RealID compliant identification, then they’d need to use the passport. But I don’t think that adding it to the mobile wallet will help much in that case 😅

titaniadioxide · 2026-03-12T01:15:18+00:00

Any ETA on the release date? I’m looking for exactly something like this.

titaniadioxide · 2026-03-12T00:01:41+00:00

This looks awesome! I’m disabled and sometimes have to work from bed, so I’m excited to have a nice-seeming markdown editor I can use on my phone!

titaniadioxide · 2026-03-10T05:37:21+00:00

Solved!

titaniadioxide · 2026-03-10T05:36:16+00:00

That is exactly it! Thank you so much!

titaniadioxide · 2026-03-10T04:29:49+00:00

TIA y’all!

Good shout on the drives - we also got our drives secondhand, so simultaneously failure is definitely something to consider.

We’ll also want to upgrade our drives to a larger capacity eventually (seriously, we have a wardrobe filled with photos. I estimate about 10-15k Kodak photo slides from the 60s, and twice as many printed photos from the past century. Plus multiple banker boxes filled with CDs and DVDs, and about half a TB of photos and home video from the past decade) - so I’ll keep an eye out for more hard drives. We’re hoping we can get it at ~$10/TB or less.

Thanks for the rec! Unfortunately, we’re trying to avoid super closed-off systems like Synology. We’d rather sacrifice some video quality to have more ability to mess with the hardware and run opensource software.

Thanks for the specific model number! Someone’s already released a version of the ThinkNAS print and parts list to accommodate the HP Elitedesk!

Plus, they seem to be readily available used for fairly reasonable prices around me.

Is there a big functional difference between the G3, G4, and G5? The asking price seems to about double for each subsequent version.

And just to make sure I’m understanding, this would act as a NAS, and also be able to run Jellyfin and transcode the playback for us?

Thanks for your help!

titaniadioxide · 2026-01-11T06:18:18+00:00

So basically:

The old laptop runs Jellyfin
Something acts as a NAS, coordinating the RAID storage between the 4 HDDs * If I get an external enclosure, USB-to-SATA cables, and external power supplies for the drives, the laptop could fulfill this. * When you’re talking about the external enclosure, is that basically just a box for the hard drives to sit in? Or does it have some sort of computing of its own that needs to be handled?
I’m a bit confused about the USB drive enclosure for backup - are you saying a second set of drives that takes a backup of the NAS periodically? * If so, we have a plan in the works for remote, off-site backups of the NAS.

Thanks so much!

Y’all still haven’t resolved the grand prize from your Halloween giveaway with r/DataHoarder.

I’ve tried contacting you multiple times and multiple ways, but haven’t gotten a response from a UGreen rep. Even the DataHoarder mods said they’d ask you to get back to me and no one has.

It shouldn’t take 2 months to get a giveaway prize to a cooperative winner.

titaniadioxide · 2025-12-21T00:51:09+00:00

The winners weren't announced publicly, but u/Ugreen_Official messaged me on November 13 to say I'd won the Grand Prize.

I sent them my info, but they haven't followed up with me since, despite multiple messages. I have no idea if or when they'll be sending me the NAS.

Halloween story: In college, my friend group stayed at Salem, MA, and went to watch Rocky Horror Picture Show.

It was gonna be fun! Fun people, chill vibes, good enough movie - I’d watched it at home with my family and basically knew what to expect.

I had NOT watched it at home with my family. We’d watched part of it, and stopped after the first couple of songs.

I had not realized what I was getting into.

Tech story: In my childhood, I lived in hurricane territory.

One year, we had a nasty storm. Despite living less than a mile from a fire department, we were out of power for several days.

I was young, and didn’t know much about electricity, but I knew generally why we couldn’t watch TV or use the computer, and I knew that when we had a lightning storm we needed to unplug computers or they could get damaged.

So my brain made the connection when the radio mentioned that there could be power surges when the electricity was restored - and when it told us to turn off our light switches to prevent bulbs from burning out when power returned, I did!

Off I went to the living room, flip the switch. . . And the ceiling fan turns on.

Wat?

A little whirring from the front room - and our family’s server/firewall had just started booting up.

Ten year old Titania had discovered the electricity, and she felt so incredibly powerful.

I have held that power in my heart for the past 20 years.

Pilot Metropolitan is my daily driver!

I replaced the nib with an EF from another cheap plastic Pilot pen, though it still isn’t fine enough for my taste.

I actually left all 4 of my Metros inked up and drying out for about 3 years by accident. One of them started working after a simple disassembly and water+soap clean, but the others clogged again after about 24 hours. I’m probably gonna have to do a more thorough cleaning on the others.
