Does anyone else proudly display the what they self host on their laptop? The hardest part is removing old stickers when you port from one project to another (Trilium and Obsidian for example). People ask me all the time what’s this or that sticker. I’m impressed when they can pick one out on their own.

    I got them from Etsy. They all came with borders so I had to 3D print a jig to get the cuts right with a razor knife. They’re still a little wobbly but they’re good enough.

      Ugh… just say you made them if is your shop… this is leaving a bad taste in my mouth, even if the product looks nice…

          It reeks of “manufactured organic content” if that makes sense. This may not have been OPs intention, but it kinda checks those marks:

          • post content, praise it, don’t mention you make and sell it
          • another user finds out you make and sell it, posts store link
          • post disguised as advert, manufactured organic conversation around the product creates an effective advertisment

          It leaves a bad taste in my mouth because this is what modern advertising is and I prefer to have full transparency. A disclosure in the post would have been nice. Again, I’m not saying this was OP’s intention, it just hits the same points.
