The clear page functionality has been asked before, but I'm not sure I want to implement it. It seems useful when you are alone on your board, but when there are dozens of participants, you don't want a single one to be able to cl

Could you also give feedback on https://wbo.ophir.dev ? Contrarily to the other mentioned before, it is opensource [1], and you can easily host your own instance if you don't like the idea of sharing your whiteboards on a r

Well, the scam doesn't scale well. You need to make a new child each time.

Yes, as I wrote, the final size of the image is limited by the browser. See [1] for more details. The highest resolution version can only be downloaded by dezoomify-rs [2], not dezoomify. [1] https://github.com/lovasoa/

I don't know a lot about google maps, but I worked on the zoomable image formats used in Google Arts and Culture. It's quite interesting, because they tried to prevent the image tiles from being downloaded by signing tile URLs and

I maintain a suite of opensource tools that do exactly that: download zoomable image tiles and stitch them together. - dezoomify ( https://dezoomify.ophir.dev ) is a web application. It is super easy to use, but the final size of

Yes they can. But threads are a pain to work with in python, as compared to async.

Yes it does.

Excalidraw is pretty cool, but its main drawback is that is has no backend. The drawings cannot be persisted to the server, and you cannot collaborate with someone on a drawing unless you are both connected at the same time. I maintain anot

Async python is faster when you use it for running parallel tasks. In this benchmark, you are running a single database request per query, so there is no advantage to being asynchronous: a pool of processes will scale just as well (but it w

Being able to deny a victim access to their phone just by having them set a given wallpaper definitely IS already a security issue.

You're welcome. Yes, scroll amounts are not consistent between browsers, and we haven't implemented anything yet to work around that. I've opened a github issue to track the problem.

I like this idea. Did you also archive the operating system the build was running on ? If not, this should be trivial to replicate today using docker containers.

It is relative to the current working directory, which is not necessarily the same as the directory the binary is in. We could display the full path, though. Interested in making a PR ?

Oh yes, I see. The path is shown relative to the current working directory.

In dezoomify-rs, the place where the file is saved is displayed when the file is downloaded. In dezoomify, the application cannot know where you saved the picture, since the browser does not share the location of the download folder with we

For those who would be interested in downloading the picture, or other images using the same technology, I maintain a set of opensource zoomable image downloaders : - dezoomify : https://github.com/lovasoa/dezoomify

Nowadays, the javascript files often come minified, as the result of a build process. I think only the original files used for compilation can be considered as the "source" of the extension.
