Dealing with PUNCT nodes in interlinear glossing.

A CSS-based experiment in displaying words, lemmas, and parts of speech as three-line interlinear text for a language-learning project.

leipzig.js is a library for applying interlinear gloss to texts for linguistic analysis. In this post, I experiment a little with this libary to evaluate whether it would work for a little project of mine.

Starting a new devlog about Hedghog, a new language learning app and some thoughts about the interlinear display of lemmas.

Why variables changed inside a Bash pipeline may remain unchanged outside it, and how the lastpipe option alters that behaviour.

A Hazel workflow that extracts text from financial-statement PDFs, renames them consistently, and imports them into DEVONthink with tags.

Recursively renaming DEVONthink tags with AppleScript to simplify a hierarchical tagging system and change its separators.
