I blogged about the shift to 'local only' web apps that seem to be proliferating: http://www.undr.com/understatement/2026/feb13_web_apps_work_...

With a future of ChromeOS Flex running on millions of older hardware, the browser is the new 'App Store'.

...and congrats on reducing your dependency on third party tools!


Exactly this — the browser is the most universal runtime we have. No install, no update prompts, just open and use. The ChromeOS Flex angle is interesting too, hadn't thought about that audience

Bad actors are relentless and never ending.


What surprised me is that the disputes were limited to the first month where stripe support agent recommended not to refund them because they might be legitimate.. The past 7 months have been clean after I fully optimized Radar rules.


Cute! I like it. Snazzy design and looks good. I appreciate the design choices you made.

My only disappointment is the dreaded LocalStorage, and now your Kanban is limited to one machine/browser. Yes, backup often; Won't, human forgetful.


Appreciate your feedback. I will try and add sync option.I made this for personal use and thought of sharing since it turned out well.


No need to appease me. I am on the lookout for a Trello replacement, but may end up self-hosting or vibe coding my own. I have a dream of marrying plain HTML _details elements with _textareas where the _summary is an editable _input.


Bookmarked and added to my arsenal of browser-based tools: http://www.undr.com/understatement/2026/feb13_web_apps_work_...


Worked for Bansky, to great success, I might add.


Everyone's a critic.


What AI did you use to write that?


Quite informative, and a laundry list of flavor names/chemicals that sound far more dangerous than they taste. Interesting find is vinegar, which might have offered a small germ-fighting benefit and given Coca Cola the 'medical' qualities it initially sold for...


The ingredients he uses are not necessarily what CC uses, but they're just a way to replicate the flavor profile. Notably he lacks the coca extract so he has to make up for it.


I think that the cocaine was the origin of its medical debut.


It was a reformulation from a popular drink where wine was infused with coca leaves and kola nuts, popular with Pope Leo XIII who appeared on poster advertisements for it. (and many others)

Georgia passed prohibition and coca-cola was an invention to replace the now banned beverages.


Is that tonic wine? Like buckfast?


Same kind of thing as Buckfast, long out of production but somebody tried to revive it a decade ago.

Cola nut also contains caffeine, so quite an energy drink between the two.


I was surprised to see nausea meds for kids that's phosphoric acid and sugar...

I thought it was well known that Coca Cola contained phosphoric acid. It's one of the reasons why it's so bad for your teeth.


Indeed, I think it is and I was given coke for my tummy as a kid so I was making the connection between coke's medicinal properties to on-the-market nausea meds.


It's explicitly listed as an ingredient, even.


I mean, uh, we used to not have any laws about this stuff:

Forgive my ignorance, but how many times a day does the news come on in Germany? In the US it's nearly constant...


With "german 8 pm news" they mean the main edition of the television news on the first channel which exists since 1952. there can be 20 editions per day.

the main edition is so influencial, the evening programm (prime time) on many other german television channels starts at 8:15 pm. in the 90s they tried to start the main program at 8 pm, but the people only switched to the channels at 8:15 pm, when the main edition was finished. so they reverted their schedule after a month.

> At 20:00 each evening, Das Erste (The First), Germany's oldest public television network, airs the country's most-watched news broadcast, the main edition of the Tagesschau, which is also simulcast on most of its other specialist and regional channels (The Third). The conclusion of the bulletin 15 minutes later marks the beginning of prime time, as it has since the 1950s. In consequence, most other channels—public and private alike—also choose to start their prime time at 20:15. In the 1990s, the commercial channel Sat.1 suffered a significant loss of audience share when it tried moving the start of its prime time to 20:00.

Very! I saw the distant galaxies spin.
