   That's an interesting idea. The closest thing I can think of is using an extended box-drawing font: https://hpjansson.org/blag/2024/01/18/chafa-1-14-all-singing... . That doesn't solve the two-c

   I feel exactly the same - I've never been so pleasantly surprised by release notes. Immediate wins for current users. And hopefully these builtin QOL features will make nvim easier for new users.

   I used to want multicursor as well. But I heard a recommendation that multicursor is not "the vim way", and instead to use macros or regex search-and-replace or visual-block mode. That's worked for me. Of course multicursor m

   The fullscreen API might help you rid the address bar. Or as another comment said, implementing as a PWA.

   I like it! The tutorial levels were quick and effective. It's a new game mechanic I haven't seen before. And today's puzzle is a nice intermediate difficulty. Some other thoughts: - I always wish daily puzzle games like this

   Ah yep! I just didn't wait long enough. Very cool. Seems like it took a lot of work. And it seems better than other browser-based video editors I've seen in the past, so kudos. TIL about the webcodecs API to get frames of video an

   Nice, seems like a good learning project. Black screen on mobile was disappointing, but oh well. I've thought about video editing in the browser before. I understand there's a memory limit, something like 5GB iirc. Have you experi

    I agree that looking around multiple panes is slow and arrow keys are slow, and that typical UI ceremony is unnecessary. But there's a benefit to seeing state changes and holding less state in your head. Kinda like `ed` versus `vim`. S

    I can't think of any cli tools with great UX :( usually the important tools have lots of obtuse commands, and the small neat tools only have a couple trivial options. But here's some guidelines as you make your own tool: https:&#

    Three advantages I realized, having done a lot of cd/ls/cp/mv/rm and also having used a file manager: - power user workflows may differ from typical dev workflows. Imagine things that a point-and-click file manager solve

    What else about the Supernote changed the way you interact with PDFs, besides highlighting and handwritten comments? Does the form factor make a big difference? Asking out of curiosity since I've been eyeing eink tablets for a while.

    I love this. Perhaps consider updating the GitHub repo with links, gifs, tags, and a README. It might get some more exposure.

    I'm not an avid reader, but I've rediscovered reading in the past couple years. A few tips that help me: 1) Keep a list of book recommendations mentioned from HN, podcasts, friends, etc. Eventually, some will be recommended twice

    My grandma did the same in the 2000s. It was her first time seeing the family computer, and she picked up the mouse and placed it against the screen, trying to focus the login field for our Windows machine.

    Beware that clip.exe clobbers unicode. For example, `echo caña | clip.exe` sets the clipboard to `ca├a`. And there's no unclip.exe. You'd have to use `powershell.exe get-clipboard`, which is pretty slow. I use this simple alternat
