## Articles

- [This site now speaks Markdown to agents](https://www.klokie.com/articles/this-site-now-speaks-markdown-to-agents/) — One URL, two representations: browsers get HTML, agents that ask for text/markdown get the prose without the DOM. Here's the whole implementation, and the two things that bit me.
- [Why your Tailscale URL won't open in Chrome](https://www.klokie.com/articles/why-your-tailscale-url-wont-open-in-chrome/) — curl gets a 200, the browser refuses to connect. Two separate browser-level rules break MagicDNS names, and neither one shows up in a network trace.
- [Adding a USB hub fixed my audio dropouts](https://www.klokie.com/articles/usb-audio-dropouts-add-a-hub/) — The dropouts weren't Ableton, the buffer, or the 11-year-old interface. They were the USB controller in my dock.
- [Keeping HTML-to-PDF text editable](https://www.klokie.com/articles/editable-vector-text-from-html-to-pdf/) — Chrome's print-to-PDF can produce a visually perfect file with outlined text, fragile masks, or an unreadable QR code. Four quiet failure modes from making a print flyer.
- [Kindle's API Has a Reading-Progress Field. Mine Was Zero for Every Book.](https://www.klokie.com/articles/kindle-reading-progress-is-always-zero/) — Building one reading list out of Audible, Kindle, Amazon wishlists, and order history. Each gives up its data differently, and the field that looks most useful is the one nothing writes to.
- [Spotify's API Has No Play-Count Endpoint — Here's What You Get Instead](https://www.klokie.com/articles/spotify-api-has-no-play-counts/) — I wanted my followed artists ranked by how much I actually listen to them. Spotify's API can't tell you that — not to anyone, not even Spotify's own official apps — and the reason took three wrong turns to find.
- [Nobody Was Blocking My Pull Requests](https://www.klokie.com/articles/nobody-was-blocking-my-pull-requests/) — I'd assumed GitHub required a review I couldn't give myself. It didn't — and automating the merges surfaced four gotchas worth knowing before you write a workflow.
- [From a Two-Year-Old Todo to a Live Product in One Day](https://www.klokie.com/articles/guitar-tuner-idea-to-live-in-a-day/) — How an AI-assisted pipeline — hard product questions, adversarial design reviews, then code — took a guitar tuner from a 2024 Todoist note to tuner.klokie.com in a single day.
- [Moveable: the back catalog, finally on Bandcamp](https://www.klokie.com/articles/moveable-now-on-bandcamp/) — Twenty-six years of tapes, CDs and rough mixes from the loud rock trio Moveable — now streaming and downloadable on Bandcamp.
- [Music Theory Learning Resources](https://www.klokie.com/articles/music-theory-learning-resources/) — Lessons, drills, ear training, and sight-singing resources — from musictheory.net to Berklee's free course.
- [VPN price differences explained](https://www.klokie.com/articles/vpn-price-differences-explained/) — Geo-pricing: why the same flight or subscription can cost less when a site thinks you're somewhere else — and where the trick breaks.
- [Happy Birthday, with classic Swedish irony (“Ja, må han leva”)](https://www.klokie.com/articles/ja-ma-han-leva/) — Sweden's most-sung song starts sweet and swerves into gleefully macabre slapstick — verses 0–4 with translations.
