Just wanted to let you know that the qbix.com website navigation doesn't work, at least for me on mobile Firefox. Clicks sometimes open the submenu, but usually not. Clicks on the submenu don't work (they always seem go to the con

The connection to the update server must be secured, but it might not be using SSL the way connections to websites normally do. Perhaps the local install has not been updated in a while, so neither have the details about the server certific

One reason is that someone else's platform means you don't have full control over presentation and discoverability. Also, at some point in their existence each platform start to decline. People move to the next platform and lose s

I see what you mean, but at the same time it worked okay on my "generate markdown toc" script after removing all comments. I'm surprised that it did so well. The initial paragraph is wrong though. It takes markdown headings a

URL navigation has been mentioned before, but I want to go in to a bit more detail. This application needs client-side navigation. That is a two-way system. When a different object has been opened, the URL needs to be changed. For example w
