Yeah, so far this behavior is inherited from Heynote. I've been thinking about making math an option within markdown. The type of the block is shown at the bottom, in the status bar.

I'm confused because economically it doesn't add up. Shortages of labor should lead to higher wages. Supply and demand. So it would make sense to relax laws prohibiting working more than 40hrs in order to unleash additional econom

The ruling was mostly not about board's competence but based on judge's opinion that during original vote the shareholders weren't properly informed about things. Given that re-approval happened at similar levels of sharehold

It was re-approved by a shareholder vote, just like it was approved by a shareholder vote the first time. At the same time a move to Texas was approved by shareholder vote, but it had nothing to do with approval of pay package. Plus, moving

This is not the news that informs. I can't tell from the article if they count Tesla's Berlin factory as "German assembly line". If not, the article should say that. If yes, to say that "Germany’s automakers manufac

Counterpoint: this kind of fiddling is what makes C++ unpleasant and unproductive language. You spend so much time finding solutions to problems that don't exist in other languages and contribute nothing to actually shipping the softwa

I like the UI optimized for power users (keyboard shortcuts). But good lord, it's 130 MB of dlls on Windows. A much svelter alternative (on Windows) is CactusViewer ( https://github.com/Wassimulator/CactusViewer ),

Your body starts producing ketons when you stop eating. Typically it starts 12 to 24 hrs. It'll start faster if you don't eat carbs / sugar and instead use protein because the body start producing ketons when it runs out of g

It's not nonsense and you're not addressing the main point: overuse. A glass of wine is harmless. A bottle of hard spirit will poison and potentially kill you. Your body can nullify small amounts of alcohol. But if you drink more

I like the speed and compactness of the UI. Hopefully constructive feedback. 1. That message about upcoming feature obscures the code and is actually a big div taking the whole right side, from top to bottom, which blocks events like scroll

In case you're not just riffing: no, it's not statically linked. The WebViewLoader.dll is embedded in the source code and then loaded into memory as if it was loaded via LoadLibrary() or by Windows .exe loader which loads referenc

To save on disk you must use Chrome or Edge because only they support necessary APIs. Initial note storage is in localStorage. To switch to disk: right-click for context menu, `Notes storage` / `Move notes from browser to directory`. T

Probably not to Edna. It's focused on being fast and lightweight. I've been thinking about more featureful markdown note taker that would support images and more. I've started on such a thing but stalled. It's way more w

Yeah, I loved the simplicity and speed of Heynote and math mode. I wanted multiple notes and I didn't get why it was made as a desktop app first given that all functionality to implement it is available in a browser (well, Chrome). So

by kjksf 2y ago
Not at the moment. I was thinking about making math more like a mode i.e. make it available in every block type, as opposed to it's own block type. Then it would be active in plain text, markdown and even code blocks. As to data fetchi

Edna is a fork of Heynote with a bunch of changes. Mostly it supports multiple notes and it's a web app, not a desktop app. I could build a desktop app but it would not offer almost any advantages given that Edna can also save notes on

Chrome implements APIs that allow accessing files on the disk. So Edna either stores notes in localStorage or in a directory of your choosing on disk. In Edna you can right-click for context menu to switch between localStorage and disk. If

I've built a web-based tool for myself that has similar philosophy: https://edna.arslexis.io/ It does support multiple pages but you can use just one. It has a nifty feature in that you can divide the single file into
