Easy way to include atproto calls in your Apple Shortcuts. I’ll get some use out of this! h/t Eric Davis

Good info for new owners of old Shopsmith machines. This would have been useful for me six years ago when I got started with my machine.

Lightweight tool for extracting sections from ePubs.

Something to watch from a previous BuddyPress lead and longtime core contributor.
