I tend to prefer editors to IDEs. Lua is a simple enough language and my codebases have been small enough that my usual Vim sufficed at the start for apps like http://akkartik.name/lines.html back in May 2022. Over time I f

Oh interesting. I think I haven't noticed this because I'm trying to disconnect from Google lately. These days I login on an incognito tab and log out when I'm done. But just with a password.

Just turn off MFA for Google. I did this during 2023 and started sleeping so much better at night. (Curious how easy it was for me to forget that it's something I can turn off, once I turned it on.)

We have both kinds of projects, the ones that are free so maintainers leave, and the ones that make money and the money warps incentives over time. Rather than free vs paid, I try these days to get a sense for the motivations of the creator

Please try https://love2d.org/wiki/Getting_Started#iOS . It's a little involved, unfortunately. But we can talk you through it if you run into any roadblocks.

Thanks so much for writing that out! I just uploaded a new version to fix the slider bug. That was particularly embarrassing :D I'll have to rethink the design for the rest. You certainly raise good points. Can I ask what device and An

This is a really good point -- once you import somebody else's code into your head. Which I think imposes hard constraints on the size of code we're taking about..
