Over the weekend, I printed this snap-together case. It holds my HRT, daily meds, and rescue migraine meds.

Yeah! More and more of my friends are not on social media regularly, so I want to send them updates and hopefully have it spark conversations or connection but also texting a ton of people individually is kind of a pain πŸ˜…
Maybe email is better for this, but I hate email.

I had a similar thought but sms instead

I’m also building a task manager, so I’m thinking of having NFCs hook into that. I.e started the dishwasher, fed dogs etc

I got some for Christmas! I have one on my med case that has a shortcut to open up the Apple health app to the medications page. And another one on my phone charger on my desk to put my phone and laptop into focus mode.

Thank you & I hope so too!

Nice! This is my current favorite bin generator tool: gridfinitygenerator.com/en

And this ruler has actually been helpful (even though my spouse thinks it's ridiculous): makerworld.com/en/models/85...

Yeah, and I think he meant the first one to be a joke, potentially, cause I think it also came out on April 1st. But those jokes always go over my AuDHD head πŸ˜‚

The printer is great, right?! I've got the P1S and still love it. Have you looked into/seen Gridfinity at all?

I ran `laravel new` 5 times this weekend, how about you?
November 17, 2025 at 2:13 PM
I’m glad you liked it and were reminded of things! Cause I forget that stuff all the time too πŸ˜…

Wow, Laramap is really taking off. I never expected so many fellow developers to sign up. Thanks to this amazing community. Additionally, the first companies have reached out to support the project. Huge thanks to @ploi.io and Chief Tools.

I’ve used proton for a year, and I really like them. Though one thing that is worth noting that might be a make/break is if you use Apple Calendar or Apple Mail it’s a bit cumbersome to get working, to the point where I gave up and just use the web client on desktop and their apps on my iPhone.
