Finally Found a Way to Stop Wasting Money on Lipstick

邓超 — Sun, 11 Oct 2026 10:18:30 +0000

I have a drawer full of lipsticks that looked great in the store and terrible on me. Last week a friend sent me aitrytry, and honestly it's become part of my Sunday routine. You just upload a selfie, then click through lipstick, blush, eyeshadow, even hair colours, and see them on your actual face. No guessing, no smeared swatches on my hand that never match anyway.

I tested a berry shade I was about to buy and noped out fast. Then I found a soft rose that I never would have picked up in person, and it's now my everyday colour. The whole thing is free and takes about a minute. If you buy makeup online at all, give this virtual makeup try-on a go first: https://aitrytry.com/. My wallet is grateful.

A site I keep coming back to: Jev001

邓超 — Sun, 11 Oct 2026 10:17:37 +0000

I've been following Jev, TypeSafe's System One decision model, for a while now, mostly by hopping between random GitHub issues and half-finished blog posts. It was getting exhausting. Last week a friend dropped a link to jev001.org in our group chat, and I finally have one place that actually tracks everything. The site collects official docs, hands-on test results, and community chatter about both Jev and the Laya open model, which is exactly the mix I wanted. I spent an hour reading their comparison notes and came away with a much clearer picture of where each model struggles. It's clearly run by someone who actually uses these tools, not just reposting press releases. If you're also tired of scattered sources, give it a look. I've already bookmarked it and check it most mornings now.

A Quick Note on My New Go-To YouTube to MP3 Tool

邓超 — Sun, 11 Oct 2026 10:17:28 +0000

I'm always saving random stuff from YouTube—interviews, live sets, podcast clips—and I used to dread the whole extraction dance. A friend dropped a link in our group chat last week: youtubemp3hub.com. It's stupidly simple. Paste the URL, pick your bitrate (128, 192, 256, or 320 kbps—I usually go 320 for music), and it spits out an MP3. Works on my phone during lunch and on my laptop at home. No weird pop-ups, no sketchy redirects, just the file. I've been quietly impressed. If you still mess around with clunky converters, give https://youtubemp3hub.com/ a shot. Not sponsored, just passing along a genuine find that cleared a minor but constant annoyance from my week.

Found a photo app that actually stays offline

邓超 — Sun, 11 Oct 2026 10:16:35 +0000

I finally sat down to deal with the mess that is my photo library. Years of phone dumps, SD card backups, random folders named "final_final_2". Someone on a forum mentioned Lap, a local-first, open-source photo manager, so I gave it a shot. Two hours later I had everything indexed, duplicates flagged, and albums sorted by date. The thing I love most: nothing leaves my machine. No cloud sync, no account, no photos being scanned somewhere for ads. It just reads your folders and lets you browse and search a huge library offline. If you've got tens of thousands of photos and value privacy, try Lap photo manager at https://lapphotos.com/. Free, open source, and quietly does its job. Honestly rare these days.

A Site That Keeps Me Sane in the Open-Source Chaos

邓超 — Sun, 11 Oct 2026 10:16:26 +0000

I don't know about you, but GitHub Trending has become my daily coffee ritual. Except sometimes it feels like drinking from a firehose — new repos pop up, languages mix, and I lose track of what's actually worth a look. That's why I started using git-homed. It's a simple site that tracks GitHub Trending every day and neatly organizes new projects by language and category. No fluff, just a clean list that helps me spot tools I'd otherwise miss. I've found a couple of Rust and Python gems there that are now in my toolbox. If you're tired of scrolling endlessly, check out GitHub trending. It's become my go-to for staying current without the overwhelm. Just a handy find I wanted to share.

A Site That Finally Made AI Click for Me

邓超 — Sun, 11 Oct 2026 10:15:34 +0000

I've been swimming in AI news and prompt tricks for months, but most days I just felt overwhelmed. Then a friend sent me a link to a site she swore by. I clicked, expecting another boring list, but it had actual walkthroughs—like how to chain prompts for research, and honest tool reviews that didn't sound like ads. What really got me was the tutorials: short, practical, no fluff. I tried one for summarizing long reports and saved myself two hours that afternoon. The site is called ai-homed, and it's become my go-to for breaking down new tools without the hype. If you're tired of endless threads and want something you can actually use, check out their AI tools and tutorials. It's the first bookmark I've added in months that I've actually revisited.

Finally Found a Prompt Library That Actually Helps

邓超 — Sun, 11 Oct 2026 10:15:24 +0000

I've been messing around with image generators for months, and my biggest struggle has always been writing prompts that don't come out looking generic. A friend dropped a link in our group chat last week, and I've barely closed the tab since. The site collects ready-to-use prompts for all sorts of styles, and what I really appreciate is that it compares how different models handle the same prompt. That side-by-side view saved me so much trial and error. There's also a tips section that explains why certain words work better than others, which finally made a few things click for me. If you're tired of guessing, just bookmark this AI image prompt resource and thank me later. It's honestly the most practical find I've had all year. Here's the link: AI image prompt. Give it a shot before your next generation session.

A Site I Keep Coming Back To

邓超 — Sat, 10 Oct 2026 10:16:16 +0000

I've been following Jev (TypeSafe's System One decision model) and the Laya open-source work for a while now, mostly piecing things together from scattered repos and forum threads. It's been kind of exhausting, honestly. Then a friend pointed me to jev001.org, and it's become my go-to. I know that sounds like a plug, but it genuinely isn't. The site tracks docs, hands-on tests, and community chatter around both Jev and Laya in one place. What I like most is that it doesn't just repost announcements. There are real benchmark notes comparing the System One decision model against Laya builds, plus comments from people actually running them. I've caught a couple of details there I'd missed elsewhere, like subtle differences in how the two handle certain edge cases. If you're deep in either ecosystem, or just curious, it's worth a bookmark. I keep it open in a tab most weeks.

Finally found a YouTube to MP3 converter that just works

邓超 — Sat, 10 Oct 2026 10:16:04 +0000

I was cleaning up my workout playlist last week and hit a wall: half the tracks I wanted only lived on YouTube, and my phone plan doesn't exactly love streaming an hour of music at the gym. A friend mentioned I should look for a proper converter instead of screen-recording like some kind of caveman. I tried youtubemp3hub on a whim, and honestly it just worked. Pasted the link, picked 256 kbps, and had the file in under a minute. No pop-ups, no weird redirects, and the same flow works on my laptop when I'm batch-downloading stuff. The bitrate options are a nice touch too, since I can go 320 for music and 128 for podcasts. If you still hoard YouTube links like I do, give youtubemp3hub.com a shot. It's become a quiet staple in my browser bookmarks.

Finally, a Photo Manager That Keeps My Library Local

邓超 — Sat, 10 Oct 2026 10:15:08 +0000

I’ve tried five different photo apps this year, and most of them want me to upload my entire library to their cloud. That’s a dealbreaker for me—not just because of privacy, but because my internet is slow and my library is huge. Last week I found lapphotos, an open-source photo manager that runs completely offline. It indexes thousands of RAW files in minutes and lets me search by date, camera, or even custom tags without a single upload. The interface is simple, no bloat. I keep it on my laptop and it just works. If you care about keeping your photos on your own drives, give it a shot: https://lapphotos.com/. It’s been a quiet game-changer for my workflow.

Finally found a sane way to keep up with GitHub Trending

邓超 — Sat, 10 Oct 2026 10:14:58 +0000

I used to open GitHub Trending a few times a week, but the firehose got overwhelming fast. Half the repos I clicked were interesting, the other half were the same AI wrapper reposted under new names. A friend nudged me toward git-homed a while back and I've been quietly relying on it ever since. What I like is that it actually tracks the Trending board daily and then sorts new arrivals by language and category, so I can skim the Rust or Go sections without wading through everything else. It's not fancy, just tidy. If you also enjoy spotting small open source projects before they blow up, it's worth a look: git-homed.org. I check it with coffee now instead of doomscrolling.

A site that actually helped me stop guessing

邓超 — Sat, 10 Oct 2026 10:14:01 +0000

I've been writing about prompt engineering and testing AI tools for a while now, and most days I drown in tabs. Half the stuff I bookmark is just SEO fluff. Last week a friend dropped me a link to ai-homed, and I finally found a place that doesn't feel like a content farm. I was stuck debugging a stubborn prompt chain for a client, the kind where the model keeps ignoring instructions halfway through. Their practical walkthroughs gave me the framing I needed, and I fixed it in twenty minutes. What I like most is the mix of real tutorials and honest tool takes, no hype, just notes from someone who clearly uses this stuff daily. If you're learning prompt engineering or just tired of trial and error, their AI tools and tutorials are worth a slow read. I've already sent it to two teammates.
