not sure anyone has attempted to use gh stacks yet but i'm far from delighted to report they haven't worked for three weeks and still don't work github.com/github/gh-st...

I made a website that lets you cut out old magazines from the internet archive (or any PDFs you own) and make collage art out of them: ✂️ clipart.studio
