is it ordinal summer? i’ve put together the ordinals gem – a light-weight (free, no api key required) ordinal api wrapper / client for inscriptions (letting you fetch metadata and content) and bonus the new version 1.1.0 now includes recursive image helpers (that let you generate .SVGs) … see diypunks.svg on the ordtest(net) with 9 recursions as an example.

I’ve been going through my collection of PDAs over the last few weeks for, among other OSNews things, my Pixelfed account, and while playing around with various old applications, I came across the Google Maps application for Palm OS. As it turns out – this official Google application, last updated in 2008, still fully and completely works today, in 2023! I shot a quick video using the application, and uploaded it to the new (and not fully set-up yet, so forgive the lack of avatars, descriptions, banner images, and so on – it’s late in my time zone) OSNews PeerTube account, embedded below for your convenience. Navigation still works. You can pan around in both map and satellite view. And, as the video shows, you can zoom in quite far and get some incredible detail on that old Palm TX display (you can zoom in further). That’s some impressive API backwards compatibility.
