Instead of remembering IP addresses and ports, what if you could use simple, memorable URLs that trigger workflows, redirect to services, or even search your notes? That’s exactly what dy.lan does.

I’ve updated my Markdown to Sendy script with the ability to use “sliced” images with separate links, the ability to upload assets to a CDN automatically, and a “test email” mode that will actually send a test email to you without going through Sendy.

I built a new little API for you. It generates Markdown Lorem Ipsum. First, a little background. Why? As I’ve mentioned elsewhere, I’ve been playing with Text Blaze, a cool new app that might eventually replace TextExpander for me. One of the major things missing from Text Blaze, though, is script snippets, which I make…
