Hey there,

A few months ago we open sourced Voiden, an offline API client we originally built to replace Postman internally.

Voiden now has around 11k installs and growing every day. ❤️

Core principles we built it on:

• free and local-first
• file-based, all plain executable markdown
• composable through blocks
• collaboration in Git, where devs are working already

The main thing is that in Voiden, API requests are not (static) forms. They are built from blocks (endpoint, auth, params, body) that can be used, reused, replaced and version in Git, just like code. And all that in plain executable text.

Our inspiration:

Our inspiration was curl, and how simple it is, and obsidian, because of how powerful it can be.

Who this is for:

Developers, QA, Technical Writers working and collaborating on APIs.

Progress:

Since open sourcing, almost everything that we shipped came from actual users, feedback and contributions that pushed the tool in a few interesting directions. You can check our change-log here: https://voiden.md/changelog

A few highlights:

• Composable API workflows: Voiden lets you build reusable .void files that can be combined into flows, run multiple requests in sequence, and use real scripting (JS/Python/Shell) before and after requests.
• Added a “skills” layer so tools like Claude/Codex can operate directly on .void files and request blocks.
• We added an SDK for community plugins.
• & more...

Feedback:

This project is now mostly shaped and driven by community ideas and contributions. Welcome to join and help us make this even more awesome.

There is no account setup, its free and totally offline.

From Parklane Landscapes

Shifting Baseline Syndrome (SBS) is what happens when we forget how vibrant the natural world used to be. Each generation grows up with a more depleted environment and calls it "normal," simply because it's all they've ever known.

Think about walking through a park and thinking, "This seems healthy." But maybe 30 years ago that same park had twice as many birds, wildflowers, or insects. If you never saw that version, you don't feel the loss - and that quiet forgetting becomes the new baseline. Over time, we start accepting degraded ecosystems as normal.

Researchers warn that this shift lowers our expectations, increases our tolerance for decline, and reduces our urgency to protect what's left.

What helps:

Intergenerational conversations that reconnect us with what nature used to be.

Direct experiences with nature that sharpen our awareness of change.

Remembering (knowing) the past is the first step to restoring the future.

Not a sponsor, I don't think it's an AI graphic, and I think it has something important to say. Plus it does have an owl. We can't save our animals if we don't save them the spaces they need to thrive.

Die Deutsche Bahn will neue Kundengruppen gewinnen und bietet in Zukunft im Fernverkehr Last-Minute-Tickets an. Ab dem 9. Mai gibt es immer an Wochenenden Fahrkarten für Reisen in den darauffolgenden Tagen.

"Ab dem 9. Mai können unsere Kunden erstmals Last-Minute-Preise buchen", sagte Fernverkehrsvorstand Michael Peterson den Zeitungen der Funke Mediengruppe.

Immer samstags und sonntags können dann Tickets für Reisen in der darauffolgenden Woche gekauft werden. Die günstigsten sollen demnach 6,99 Euro kosten. Obendrauf kommt gegebenenfalls der BahnCard-Rabatt, so Peterson. Kinder fahren kostenlos mit.

Die Bahn will die Last-Minute-Tickets nur für Züge verkaufen, in denen es noch freie Plätze gibt. Die Wahrscheinlichkeit, ein Schnäppchen zu ergattern, sei daher abseits der Hauptreisezeiten besonders hoch, sagte der Fernverkehrsvorstand. Das Angebot gilt demnach zunächst für ein halbes Jahr mit der Option auf Verlängerung.

Tired of HuffPost as it has become enshittified with listicles and bullshit. Makes my shit blocker extension light up like a christmas tree. And the articles have become all clickbait "so and so said this one thing that made so and so mad..." What's are some good progressive website news sourcees where I can get a good daily dose of news, that hasn't gone down the toilet?
