Join us May 15–17 for a hands-on Adobe Horno Building workshop with Ben Loescher of @adobeisnotsoftware. Together we’ll build a fully functional earthen oven from the ground up, working with simple, site-based materials and time-tested techniques.
Earthen ovens are inexpensive, durable, and create a kind of heat you just can’t replicate in a conventional kitchen. You’ll leave with the knowledge to build your own, using materials that may already be in your yard.
This workshop is ideal for bakers, builders, DIYers, and anyone curious about working with earth. It also serves as an introduction to adobe construction, cob, and natural plasters.

Instagram Hikaye Görüntüleyici, Instagram hikayelerini, videoları, fotoğrafları veya IGTV'yi gizlice izleyip kaydetmenizi sağlayan basit bir araçtır. Bu hizmetle, içerikleri indirip istediğiniz zaman çevrimdışı olarak keyfini çıkarabilirsiniz. Instagram'da daha sonra görmek istediğiniz bir şey bulduysanız veya anonim kalmak isterseniz, bizim Görüntüleyicimiz sizin için mükemmeldir. Anonstories, kimliğinizi gizli tutmak için mükemmel bir çözüm sunar. Instagram, Hikaye özelliğini Ağustos 2023'te başlatmış ve bu format, etkileşimi yüksek ve zaman sınırlı olduğu için hızla diğer platformlar tarafından benimsenmiştir. Hikayeler, kullanıcıların hızlı güncellemeler paylaşmasını sağlar; fotoğraflar, videolar veya selfie'ler, metin, emojiler veya filtrelerle zenginleştirilmiş ve sadece 24 saat görünür. Bu sınırlı süre, normal gönderilere göre yüksek etkileşim yaratır. Bugünlerde, Hikayeler sosyal medyada bağlantı kurmanın ve iletişim kurmanın en popüler yollarından biridir. Ancak, bir Hikaye görüntülediğinizde, yaratıcısı adınızı görüntüleyici listesinde görebilir ki bu da gizlilik endişesi yaratabilir. Peki ya Hikayeleri fark edilmeden görüntülemek isterseniz? İşte burada Anonstories devreye girer. Kimliğinizi ifşa etmeden, kamuya açık Instagram içeriğini izlemenizi sağlar. Sadece merak ettiğiniz profilin kullanıcı adını girin, araç size en son Hikayelerini gösterecektir. Anonstories Görüntüleyicisinin Özellikleri: - Anonim Tarama: Hikayeleri görüntüleyici listesine düşmeden izleyin. - Hesap Gerekmez: Instagram hesabı oluşturmadan kamuya açık içeriği görüntüleyin. - İçerik İndirme: Hikaye içeriklerini cihazınıza indirip çevrimdışı olarak kullanabilirsiniz. - Öne Çıkanlar Görüntüleme: Instagram Öne Çıkanlarına erişin, 24 saatlik süreyi aşarak da. - Yeniden Paylaşım Takibi: Kişisel profillerin Hikayeleri üzerindeki paylaşımları veya etkileşim seviyelerini takip edin. Kısıtlamalar: - Bu araç yalnızca açık hesaplarla çalışır; özel hesaplar erişilemez. Yararları: - Gizlilik Dostu: Herhangi bir Instagram içeriğini fark edilmeden izleyin. - Basit ve Kolay: Uygulama yükleme veya kayıt gerekmez. - Özel Araçlar: Instagram’ın sunmadığı şekilde içerik indirme ve yönetme.
Instagram güncellemelerini gizlice takip edin, gizliliğinizi koruyun ve anonim kalın.
Özel Profil Görüntüleyicisi ile profilleri ve fotoğrafları anonim olarak kolayca görüntüleyin.
Bu ücretsiz araç, hikaye yükleyicisine görünmeden Instagram Hikayelerini anonim olarak görüntülemenizi sağlar.
Anonstories, kullanıcıların Instagram hikayelerini yaratıcıyı uyarmadan görüntülemelerini sağlar.
iOS, Android, Windows, macOS ve Chrome ile Safari gibi modern tarayıcılarda sorunsuz çalışır.
Giriş bilgisi gerektirmeden güvenli, anonim taramayı ön planda tutar.
Kullanıcılar, sadece bir kullanıcı adı girerek halka açık hikayeleri görüntüleyebilir—hesap gerekmez.
Fotoğrafları (JPEG) ve videoları (MP4) kolayca indirir.
Hizmet ücretsizdir.
Özel hesaplardan içerikler yalnızca takipçiler tarafından erişilebilir.
Dosyalar yalnızca kişisel veya eğitimsel kullanım içindir ve telif hakkı kurallarına uymalıdır.
Bir kamu kullanıcı adı girin, hikayeleri görüntüleyin veya indirin. Hizmet, içeriği yerel olarak kaydetmek için doğrudan bağlantılar oluşturur.
