2009 indeed. Their app store was an absolute cesspit even in the early, pre-WebOS days and it hasn't changed much since, like, who would install any of this and why? Even the "official" app selection isn't the best. OS a

Not exactly full "IP KVM" and missing the VM part, BUT for basic screen access to say a server or scope or whatever with a VGA output, those dirt cheap "VGA to USB" converters found all over Amazon etc., can do a semi de

There is also the name of the site / product that is reminiscent of a Russian placename or surname, say Voloshov (which happens to be both). It's the first thing that came to my mind when I saw the URL. Take that as you will.

To me, Pandoc is "never have to touch Word again", in other _words_, salvation. Sadly, the .docx templates aren't enough - they have the styling, but for those forced to produce a .docx output as a necessity for "corpora

Makes me wonder if a similar level of analysis was done in reverse to conceive these, hopefully not word yahtzee. At least they don't end with "ly" - the horror.

For the "pretty" argument - sure, why not, but as to changing keybinds... Well, it's like this: ^a is for screen, ^b is for tmux. You can remap everything to your taste, but you're not going to build tmux muscle memory.
