I definitely agree that we should be improving browsers in that way, though I'm not sure that it's easy and I'm pessimistic it'll ever happen. Mostly because - cynically - I think that the vast majority of users will n

In theory, sort of, but I think that in practice this is not a solid enough solution to make an app and its data future-proof. As I see it, PWAs and browser-based databases are more like an offline cache rather than a permanent way to store

I hate dark patterns like everybody else, but I have to say that - despite those - the Ryanair website still seems to me one of the best ones for booking a flight. It might be because I got accustomed to it, but - while you indeed need to d

Most smartwatches estimate VO2Max using other data (mainly how fast you run/ride, your HR, and your weight). Blood oxygen level is not used for that.

Well done! Looking at the first few PRs in the list, you can see things like: - Adding a word in a comment. - Adding config files to self-promote dev services. - Switching from using var to let. - Changing well-established behaviours of cor

Yes, it's a known bug[1] on all browsers. For the MVP I decided not to fix it, as copying-pasting from Excalidraw works, so there's a workaround for it. [1] https://github.com/excalideck/excalideck/issues

Haven't thought about the self-hosting story yet (or rather, I thought more in the direction of a desktop Electron app), but definitely an option. Added an issue[1]. [1] https://github.com/excalideck/excalideck&#x2

Not yet, but it's planned for the ~future[1]. For the MVP I though it'd be ok for the user to save the pdf file and use their OS viewer to present it. :) [1] https://github.com/excalideck/excalideck/issue

Oh, nice use case actually. Makes me think that a button to hide/collapse the slides miniatures might be useful then, to give more real estate to the drawing board.

Hello HN, here's an open source app I've been working on for the past few weeks. I love Excalidraw[1], the virtual whiteboard (discussed recently here on HN[2]). Its UX is great - simple and intuitive - and really makes it easy fo

I guess https://dapr.io/ could also be considered a contender in that space, though the developer experience is not as polished as next.js (yet?).

Thanks for pointing this out, I admit I did not consider their point of view (the plug was shameless, but in the self-promotion-is-inherently-shameful sense), and I agree it's in bad taste.

Shameless plug, I can suggest StaticDeploy ( https://staticdeploy.io/ ) as an open source, self-hosted alternative to Netlify, which can give you a similar deployment workflow. It's definitely possible to just host direc

I agree in theory, but in practice I've found it very hard to keep Spring (Boot) out of my code. Part of the blame I think falls on Spring's DI container, which is "too good". It makes it easy to pull in any bean, even t

Transfer of ownership can be done "unofficially" in many ways though, for instance adding a contributor to the organization which controls the package. Requiring a major bump could be problematic in many cases (I'm thinking,

I've been on the other side of a similar conversation, that eventually got me the name I wanted after around 30 days. This was around five years ago, when there were still no scoped packages and the ecosystem was surging in popularity.
