I want to built a really flexible sewing repair kit for on-the-go and I’d love to know if anyone has anything they’ve found that works outside the obvious

My goal is to be able to fix and modify my clothing on the fly

So far I have:
Seam ripper
Small fabric scissors (would love some brand recs)
Silk thread (black, white)
Thimble
Flexible measuring tape
Bobby pins / fabric pins
A few sizes of needles

Any other ideas, thread types, or things that are indispensable for your kit would be amazing :)

This is a weird question but I’ve been a knot hobbyist for a few months now and I want to try and assemble some special purpose cordage for unique situations.

Are there any types of rope or cord you’ve used that only work for certain situations, or work much better?

Like Kevlar or dyneema or silk thread or cotton rope or anything outside the typical nylon rope and paracord

I made a post a while back after reviewing about 50 non-AI website builders, so I did the same with all the app (web app, mobile app, internal tool) builders.

Context: I'm a solo hyperactive internet maker, and I got pissed trying to find good no-code tools because every damn list on the web is sponsored. App builders less so than other tool types, but very much still the case.

Here are the only builders I really liked:

Sotion - super simple, it turns notion pages into membership sites. The guy that runs it also runs Cloakist, which is also a dope tool. (lets you add a custom domain to anything)

Coda - god, I love coda. It's like Notion + Airtable. It's got a bit of a learning curve, and you don't get total freeform customization, but for internal tools I adore it. Anytime I have a new project and I need to organize or document information --> coda.
I almost always just use the free tier, and you can publish your projects to act as public apps, though it's not optimized for it.
(I have been using it for a few years already tho, so I'm likely a bit biased)

Softr - you've probably seen Softr already, but it's the only app builder that gives you a custom domain on the free plan, and it's a really solid tool imo.

Bubble - obviously. It's complex and more expensive than I'd prefer, but especially since they released mobile apps it's the best on the market for heavier projects. (just my opinion tho, I've also been using bubble for a while)

Glide and Adalo are also great, but they both got greedy with their pricing plans. Adalo keeps jacking up the price, and Glide won't let you publish anything for free anymore.
So I usually don't use them anymore.

LMK if there's anything I missed or should review! I just reviewed like 20 form builders too, I'll post about that soon and if you wanna see my full list lmk.

Howdy miamians :)

I like making stuff, and I wanted to see if any local makers or builders know where I could rent a welder?

I’ve looked at all the Makerspaces in town, none of them seem to have metalworking.

I’m happy to drive to Fort Lauderdale too, I couldn’t find any up there.

If there’s something I’m missing, I’d love any ideas or assistance!

I hope this is the right flair to post, apologies if not.
