Reading the intro, I feel like I got a good hint about what this is. It sounded like "local first git for teams, without the hell of sharing patches via email". I don't know what gitea or forgejo are, so comparisons wouldn&#x

I doubt it's "universal". Do coyotes and orcas follow this rule?

If you expect the browser to help you manage your various workflows beyond generic containers (tabs, tab groups), then you become tied into the browser's way of doing things. Are you sure you want that? I'm not saying your hopes a

Allegedly the next gen MBPs will have a touch screen. I think Apple have pushed a touch-enabled macOS UI out a year ahead of the hardware: maybe to iron out issues; maybe 'cos they could... I worry that we're stuck with this shit

Guessing: it's not Blink, but it's easier to work with than Firefox's engine. I know people fork FF, but I vaguely recall hearing the engine itself was harder to separate and integrate into other systems. I'm sure someon

Sure, but "white" has a pretty similar effect, especially on modern high lumen screens. "Dark mode" is popular for a reason. Personally, anecdotally, I find the black-on-yellow easier to work with than most sites' b

I’m dumb and don’t understand the distinction you’re making. elem.style.setProperty(‘—var-name’, newValue); … will set a new value for the “constant”. The element will rerender with the new value. You can animate/automate the

It’s not obvious to me how black on yellow is a mistake. It’s quite readable, the contrast is broad enough for clarity but not so broad the background overwhelms the foreground. Yellow’s a recommended “light” background for visually impaire

I’m not convinced. Academia should be for exploration, research, or preservation/archival. It’s about knowledge, not profit. Academic attainment should be about the subject. It’s business that should deal with the application, the shor

We get “weather warnings” here in the UK, too. To my ears, they sound “alarmist”, but I’m in London which has a relatively stable and comfortable microclimate. Howvmever: it’s definitely the case that climate patterns have shifted. London

Mediate? By being the medium through which you communicate. At any point they might insert an advert, a bot, change the UI or the share features, some AI slop, etc. you will have no recourse. Just by using their platforms they’re able to up

My current app is a boring SPA. SSR, RSC wouldn’t make sense for it. My previous app was a video player with UI drawn in React: couldn’t SSR that.

That's very neat. You'd probably need two words to represent camelCase. And then that might be hard to disambiguate from your `CaSE`.

Surely it does, if there's no way to point back to the specific user. The best one could say is "someone using this username posted this message at this time, but we can't tell who that was". I accept that if someone dat
