As always, the best solution is probably in-between the two extremes, i.e. keep issues open because they are useful for discussions and non-technical people bug reports, but don't be afraid to close PR and issues [1] to avoid the probl

Yes, it is why I said "Maybe" :-) I'm actually working in research and I'm going to conferences, but the limit of ~4 hours kind of forces me to focus on talks instead of coding all day long. I mean, during the conference

I got mine for the equivalent of 1028 USD: SP4 i5, 256G, 8GO pen and type cover (this was a special offer though). This was one month ago. So when the new model will go out, the prices of SP4 will probably drop. So far the only drawback of

Let us know the project URL if you start it, so we can follow your work! If I would be doing it, I would probably go with python because of the existing ecosystem: NLP, readability, beautifying, image processing or deep learning, … Probably

The system I propose would be for sure space-consuming. Removing the ads and other unneeded contents would probably help to shrink down the page size though. This is the price to pay to keep the bookmarked content available in the long-term

Oh, I'm not bookmarking such kind of content usually. I guess in any case a system that check the type of content (html/image/sound/video) will be needed to select the storage format, so the annotation may then also be a

I'm not sur at which level you ask this. For storing the images, Base64 encoded in the HTML files. For making them useful, I don't think it's the most important feature, but if need be it is possible to think about using OCR

Ads removal and "git/simple file structure" are mandatory features for me (PDF export is optional though). But first and foremost, it should be an open-source tool, I forgot to mention it. I don't want to be stuck becaus

Sooner this evening I had to open a 144'000 lines CSV file, 3.5MB. This is not big, but it is the kind of file I have to open from time to time for my work. No noticeable delay to open the file in VSCode, the cursor moves smoothly, and

Indeed, this bug is pretty nasty for the battery. I don't have it though, so my remark was about non-buggy battery usage. Web-based text editors consumes more battery, but the difference is not significant from my point of view.

> Actually, it would take one hour because you would use Poppler, and it would be cross-platform. It would also be faster than pdf.js. I don't really know poppler. If there are Poppler bindings for the language you are developing in

By making a text editor out of web technologies, you can reuse all the web ecosystem the web has, and enjoy also its customizability. For instance I wanted to be able to display PDFs directly in VSCode. I went to look for a plugin, and ther

Exactly this. I tried a lot of text editors, and I ended up with Spacemacs. The "everything is text" concept of emacs in conjunction with vim's modal editing is the most powerful interface that I've used. But after a whi

For me it is possible that a big breakthrough would be changing our society in a close future, in even less than 200 years. I wouldn't know if 2 events may be happening, but at least one seems really probable. In ~20 years, we went fro

Glad to hear my comment inspired you :-) Good luck with this! PS: Another idea: Instead of selecting manually what extensions should be used or not, you may want to try being more general, like enabling by default all text-like files, and d

It would be so much nicer to define better defaults. Like what… 99.99% of the users are never, ever, wanting to see notes that are in the `.git` repository, nor in PNG or any other images. Even hidden dirs and files should not be searched b

I'm in the same boat as you, maybe a little bit less categorical about whether to contribute to projects with CoC. I'm thinking twice before contributing to them, especially for the ones that use it as a showcase, but for sure if
