bartekpaciaon Zed, a collaborative code editor, is now open source

+1, I don’t think such stuff should be ever enabled by default.

This is awesome news. Thank you very much! I looked at Zed some time ago and even though I liked it, it being closed source and not very popular didn’t make me “trust” that it was gonna last.

It is, Flutter (which also draws all the UI on a canvas) already does that - it’s called AccessibilityBridge. The way it works is they hook into the native accessibility system and create virtual accessibility nodes with the same size and coordinates where the “widgets” are drawn. I think it’d be useful to create some common AccessibilityBridge-like library since more and more UI frameworks are taking the same approach as Flutter and GPUI.

Ah, so that’s what those issues and PRs of yours at flutter/flutter were about! This all sounds super cool - I’m a fan of zulip but the mobile app never felt native enough to me. Excited for the new Flutter version of it:) Good luck!

bartekpaciaon Programming isn’t coding (2020)

Not sure how that’s relevant to the article.

But since you’ve started this topic, I gotta say I love Gradle and I think it’s the best build system out there (until you reach a certain (huge) scale - then look at Bazel). I learned it by reading the docs a few times and contributing to OSS projects, improving their build scripts and plugins. Feeling pretty confident with it now. I don’t get why it gets so much hate - as if people didn’t want to spend time to actually learn it. If Gradle gets this much hate, then CMake should get 100x more.
