Built a thing: FollowDraw. Enter the domain of a SocialSpec savvy site that has a following.opml file, and it will randomly draw three for you to checkout. Designed for discovering sites that people you follow find interesting, and may be interesting to you.
Made some changes to Dequoter to support analysis plugins. These are plugins which will produce a result that appears in the status bar, as oppose to transform the selected text. Used it to remake my sum plugin:

\n\n\n\nA few short years ago, many programmers who preferred to ājust get stuff doneā eschewed the terminal in favor of VSCode and JetBrains IDEs.
\n\n
Maybe for editing files, but throughout my career, the terminal has always been integral to getting my job done. Personal preferences like using the Git CLI aside, I canāt remember a time when I didnāt need it in some capacity. Thereās always a Linux box to log into.
\nThat said, it is good seeing the terminal getting some broader love. May not be flashy, but with a bit of creativity, it can be an amazing UI canvas.

\n\n\n\nIn the April 2026 survey we received responses from 1,433,742,238 sites across 299,194,059 domains and 14,198,148 web-facing computers. This reflects an increase of 5.9 million sites and 1.6 million domains, and a loss of 26,902 web-facing computers.
\n\n
Huh, so thereās just under 300 million domains serving websites. That seems like a lot, and at the same time, dramatically lower than what I was expecting.
