Yes, very possibly! This app is based on Electron, so its web tech underneath. Its currently very optimized for the desktop (it relies on all sorts of desktop APIs), but I think one day it'll make sense to get it working in a web brows

I worked at Triplebyte several years ago (but way before any of these changes were being discussed - this blog post is the first I'm hearing of them). I'm an engineer, but I spent a lot of time with the account management team tal

Ah yes, I think you're right, I got that backwards! I'll update the post, thank you!

Author of the post here, I'll try to elaborate. My primary association with the word "fantastic" is simply "great" or "very good", as in "you did a fantastic job!". It's this meaning of the

An app I built, Keysmith [1], does something pretty close to what you're describing. It's macros anywhere on your Mac, but instead of using OCR we use accessibility APIs to identify UI elements by name. There's also a browser

This is really interesting, and I appreciate the opposing argument! I wasn't aware that Mozilla checked for stuff like this.

My point with this post isn't that Google is being evil, it's that what they're doing is frustrating . And the most frustrating part isn't even that they rejected our extension on a technicality, but rather that they we

Yeah, this does make the comparison less fair. Mozilla might have been similarly unhelpful about this issue. But some other points still stand, like how Firefox got back to us quickly about the "delay", and how they showed our p

Yep, this is a great point. But as you say, it's hard to know if Chrome is actually doing anything substantively better or not since I don't actually know what they're doing. And from what I've observed through this proc

Thanks so much! My partner both did the design work and came up with the name, so I'm sure that'll go straight to his head! Keysmith comes with a Chrome and Firefox extension that make it better about working with the web. If you&

Thanks! That's a good idea, but I don't have plans to do that right now. The intention of the project is to let you try out icons on an actual device, as opposed to in a simulator.

I think beorg is fantastic and I poked around with it for a while before building org-web. Ultimately I decided to build org-web anyway because I wanted something a bit closer to the metal, in a way. My impression of Beorg was that its bit

Currently its just the visited file, which is mostly a product of how I use org-mode - I've got one monolithic org file instead of multiple files. But adding support for multiple files is something I'd eventually like to tackle.

The short answer is yes it added value, but I wouldn't use it if I started on org-web today. Largely this is because of the new hooks API in React (particularly useReducer). Redux also helped me grow a lot as an engineer. I'm sure

Ah, no there is not. Haven't gotten around to that yet. My primary use case here was editing existing files.

Yeah, the keyboard shortcut system is a bit buggy. I haven't put much work into it since I figure when you're at a desktop you'll be using Emacs anyway. You can, however, change the keyboard shortcuts in settings. Maybe that&

org-mode works well for me because I already use (and live in) Emacs. Since its just plain text, all the ways I'm used to manipulating text work great in org-mode too. I also dabble with elisp a bit and that fits in nicely here too. Fo
