I’ve been seeing some people in my circle doing link roundups, and I thought it’d be nice to join in. I have such a huge backlog of links to work through and maybe this could be a good way to get through all of them. I’m thinking of only doing five links per roundup, but let me know if you think that’s too many or too few. That’s enough waffling for now, here’s the links:

Austin Walker: i have been trying to find some words for cohost's final days for about a week now

I don’t have much to say here besides wow Austin is really good with words in a way that I am as impressed by as I am envious of.

Indie Hell Zone: Tangle Tower

This is just as much a recommendation for Tangle Tower as it is a recommendation for the review talking about it. Tangle Tower is a complete delight, and feels like the closest you can get to a modern Professor Layton. I thoroughly recommend it. Oh and also this review talking about it too, of course.

iA: Our Android App is Frozen in Carbonite

I’m as much of an Android hater as the next apple fangirl (they just don’t have the same rich indie scene as apple does, and every android-native app I’ve seen feels like it hates itself),…

This whole time I’ve imagined him looking like a weird bald sweaty white guy with a face that’s too red for his own good.

This is right on the heels of me being completely mistaken with how I imagined Tim Walz looking. I basically just imagined Tim Walz as looking like Matt Mullenwag and Matt Mullenwag as looking like Tim Walz.

she’s so scrunkly in this one

Good morning y’all. Cohost has now shut down and so here’s my inaugural “I am now posting here and only here” post.

I’m from the future and I don’t know what cohost is. What happened?

Cohost was a website that ran from 2022 to 2024. It was probably the best social media site ever made, and now it’s gone. Unfortunately, that’s the world we live in now, and so I have to do something new. That something new will be this site! Welcome to Evie On→Line. It’s by me, evie! I live in your computer.

What’s the plans for the future of this site?

Hoo boy do I have a lot planned. First off, the technical stuff:

• Fix comments
• Add a like button. Don’t worry, it won’t have numbers
• Make sure the styles are functional. Everything is currently held together with duct tape and a dream and I have enough CSS knowledge to do better than that.
• Improve the markup.

Now, the actual content stuff. There’s a lot in the works:

• Link roundups! I have literally thousands of links saved on different bookmarking services. My goal is to unify them and read them and send the best to all y’all. What’s the point in hoarding links…

also for all yall wondering. comments will come soon dw 💗 i’m working on it. prolly gotta also make a better system for avoiding name conflicts than just naming every file myself

maybe i should start sharing more links. i have like a million links stored across different services that id love to aggregate and go like “here’s some truly great stuff”. just a random thought

This is a mini app review, in case you couldn’t tell from the tag that says “app review”.

Flyleaf is a “read it later” app whose main inspiration is Instapaper, an old read later app from 2008 (and probably the first one ever made). But it’s not just based on Instapaper, it’s based on the Instapaper from 2008. With pagination. The dev has stated that his main reason for making it is just that there’s nothing else out there that has Instapaper’s pagination feature, and Instapaper itself doesn’t even support it that well.

I quite like pagination (scrolling hurts my wrist and feels worse to read), so it was a no brainer for me to use. It also doesn’t hurt that it’s cheaper than the read later app I was using before (also, matter is integrating a bunch of ai features that get in the way of the reading part of a read later app. Really sucks but that’s what vc money gets you). I’m still using the old one too for the remaining length of the subscription, but I’m hoping that I won’t have to r…
