Hm, I haven't tried it, but from the docs it targets Elmish and React, both of which use a VDOM, which sadly eliminates it as a possibility.

I want my offline client to have a plugin system like Anki. Powerful plugins will want to manipulate the DOM directly. They can't do this if I'm using a virtual DOM, which is what Blazor uses. (VDOM updates will overwrite any plug

I'm building an opensource GitHub for Flashcards. Basically Anki Online (though there's an offline first client). The idea is that it should be easier to collaboratively build flash cards. The project started out with F#/Blaz

Off topic: Is there a document/blog/article somewhere about the plugin architecture of VS Code? I'm less interested in developing a plugin (which google results usually yield) and more interested in, say, how VS Code determin

I have this out-of-sync issue as well. I was previously blaming it on a Clojure plugin (Calva), but I'm guessing you don't have that. Wish I could reliably recreate - it happens once or twice a day.

Yeah - I was limiting my post to explicit async/await. Don Syme, creator of F#, had a nice thread on the roots of async/await, though it doesn't mention do-notation: https://mobile.twitter.com/dsymetweets&#x2F

A laptop with an ortholinear+QMK option would probably be an instabuy from me. Hell... native QMK (or ZMK) alone would get my attention.

Yep, I was originally intending for this to be a PWA. I'm now planning on Electron (or Tauri, if stars align). There may eventually be a PWA down the line, but I think most students will be okay with installing a program. Electron and

A person should be able to study their flashcards/notes in an offline environment. E.g. on a plane, on a train in a tunnel, where-ever. Also, flash cards are quite personal, and many people have hesitations about trusting them to some

Great question. I've thought hard about this. I originally built it to be online-first, thinking "you can add offline support later". This is the version that's demoed in the video on the Github - and is over a year ol

Fair point. In my defense, people say you should pick the tech-stack you're most familiar with: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29626371 Perhaps I'm misusing the word architecture - I guess I really mean tech

No users - no launch. I have many conversations with potential users though... I'm 100% positive this is something that people want. E.g. right now the way they solve the problem of collaborating on flashcards is by using _google she

No, but that's primarily due to a lack of interest/manpower. They (probably) reserve the right to ensure that you aren't doing things that are against their TOS. There's (probably) no right to privacy.
