Yeah, large file sizes and some RAM overhead is a drawback that comes with Electron apps. However, it would never have been possible for me to make Heynote for all of Mac, Windows and Linux, on my spare time and within a reasonable timefram

"napkin math" - I'll steal that for the website. Thanks :)!

Yes, I'd like to add more languages. It's currently limited to what Lezer ( https://lezer.codemirror.net/ ) supports . However I just found this repo ( https://github.com/withfig/lezer-bash ) whi

The buffer file has a syntax for the block separators, but it's human readable. Here's what it looks like: ∞∞∞text content of note 1 ∞∞∞text-a note 2 -a denotes that the block language is in autodetect mode and might

Yeah, at the moment I'm hesitant to add tab support (for the reasons that you stated), though I've definitely thought about it.

Thanks :)! Do you mean that the blocks should be collapsable? If so, blocks should be collapsable by clicking the small arrow to the right of the first line number. For some reason it seems that Markdown blocks aren't collapsable thoug

Interesting! Do you know of any other Electron apps that can be installed via Brew?

The link has been fixed. Thanks! And thanks for the grammar correction - I always keep doing that error (it's instead of its).

In many western countries, e.g. the US, iPhones do make up the majority of the phone market.

Why would Google need a reload to keep tracking (they already control the browser)? That this feature/implementation was driven by desire for more tracking sounds far fetched to me.

Thankfully (IMO), you can't patent game ideas. There's no legal action NYT can take (and expect to win) to shut down any games that build on the same game rules. However, even if you disagree with me, and think that there should b

OP here. Fun to talk about something technical :). I didn't make a curated list of words (also, my app supports 4-7 letter words). Instead, I use word frequency data to exclude 80% of the least used Swedish words. The frequency data is

As the writer of the post, I would love to hear Apple's side of the story. The reason I didn't include more quotes from Apple was that they never cited anything other than "resembles Wordle" and "leverages Wordle&

I'd argue that the language of the dictionary is far more critical for a word game than just the UI language of a random app.

The main drive for me (OP) was that I loved the game idea. Also, when I first decided to build the app, there were no Wordle-style games in the store (that I could find). > And if you're going to essentially give it away, just make

What's your opinion on the Minesweeper clones? Shouldn't they be allowed on the App Store? What about Scrabble? Or Tetris? Also - like the post says - the app is in Swedish with a Swedish dictionary. Wordle is unplayable for anyon

Bad behaviour by some other third party does not justify bad acts by Apple.
