fiveminutebrief

I was listening to a few daily news podcasts every morning to try to keep up with what's going on in the world. I built fiveminutebrief so I can now get my own daily 5-minute podcast episodes for any topic. There are a handful of '5m Topics' that I created public podcast feeds for, so you can listen to those without even signing up in the app. Or if you sign up you can follow any 'Public Topic' for free. Create Custom Topics with a subscription. I would love any feedback!

  • Today, I’m proud to announce Homebrew 6.0.0. The most significant changes since 5.1.0 are a new tap trust security mechanism, the new faster, smaller, default internal Homebrew JSON API, sandboxing on Linux, better defaults informed by our user survey, many brew bundle improvements, improved performance and initial support for macOS 27 (Golden Gate). Happy to discuss any questions here!

  • Hi HN! I was super frustrated at apps like tiktok and wechat preventing me from saving or downloading the animated gifs, so I made a little tool to turn a screen recording into a slack-sized emoji. Hope you get some value from this!
