I hope someone will make a similarly fun open source reincarnation of Rocket League one day...

This is awesome, thanks for sharing - I have one of these snakes at home and only knew how to make the ball - now I can impress my kids with other shapes!

Do unto others as you would have them do unto you

I used to like, "if at first you don't succeed, don't tell anyone you tried!"

"if I can't fix it, it ain't broke" - I first came across this in a DOS game called God of Thunder.

Nice, I have been looking for an easier way to make mind maps that is also easy to diff and edit without special software, thanks for this!

Not only more efficient but easily repeatable and tweakable too ;)

Looks great - how does it work? Or, what is needed to add new language support like C#? Pricing seems very reasonable.

Any chance of open sourcing it so we can contribute some regex features to your awesome project? :)

I think it would be better for the health of the population if split keyboards were less exclusive, along with different keyboard layouts like Colemak instead of most people being stuck on Qwerty which was designed to be awkward to slow down the typist to prevent typewriter jams.

Sure, it would be harder to tell who the early adopters are, in case it is any measure of skill or determination, but that's a trade-off I would be happy with - instead of being the odd ones out, we'd be pioneers setting the trend ;)

I like the idea of it, it's different enough from the standard design that it seems well thought out - but it's one of those keyboards/products I would love to be able to try for a while before committing myself to a purchase, to ensure I can get used to it and would enjoy typing on it. It'd be great to see some kinda local computer hardware/keyboard store open up for this purpose, but I guess it'd be too niche really to be profitable/popular...

I'm also skeptical, but found it interesting enough / was intrigued enough to share it here. As it also doesn't seem like it will be open source (or, more usefully: cross platform) it seems like just trading one proprietary implementation for another albeit supported one

Nice description of what you're trying to solve - it certainly resonates with me so I plan to try it out!

I've recently started trying Shiori[1] to manage my "bookmarks" and preserving offline copies locally without relying on The Internet Archive, however it still doesn't really help with private content (i.e. Pages only accessible as an authenticated and authorized user) so it'd be great if Promnesia caters for that. Plus the whole data silo thing...

I was a little surprised to see no mention of the "tree style tabs" extension which can help with "where did I get to this link from?" style questions

Reminds me of Pragli [1] but without the animated avatars.

How sustainable is this project? I see it's not open sourced, but there is no pricing page either?

Also, how are the connections made, P2P or through a central intermediate server?

I've never even considered before that some people might pronounce it "zee index" - do they really, or is that also part of the joke?

yeah I was excited til I saw that - the "native" in the title should specify the platform too, really.

Could that not be easily done as an add on that utilizes the callback approach? The parser library could offer both APIs and the caller could decide which to use and what to do when running out of memory etc.

I upvote minor Rust releases when I like something in the blog post/release notes, certainly not just because it is Rust. Maybe other people do the same.

Pretty sure screen sizes are still universally measured in inches for some reason - maybe because it is what people are used to, or maybe for the American market as it is one of the biggest?

The lack of consideration for how ssh will work (authenticating with ssh keys etc.) is a bit worrying, I hope they come up with a good solution.

the disclaimer about backups is a bit scary... makes me want to use something a bit more reliable/recoverable/version controllable...

> Backups of Wekan database with mongodump once a day miminum required. Bugs, updates, users deleting list or card, harddrive full, harddrive crash etc can eat your data. There is no undo yet.

That doesn't mesh with my experience. When I moved from the UK - where windows open outwards and its not really possible to have screens - to the countryside in mainland Europe where mosquitoes and flies are much more common, one can buy mosquito nets for windows from the supermarkets. I don't regret that purchasing decision at all - being able to have the window open at night in summer means I can actually get some sleep :)

A Lego-CAD tool for touchscreens i.e. Android tablets. I've used LeoCAD on Linux, which isn't bad but finding parts is a nightmare. And the existing non-OSS alternative on Android, Draw Bricks, doesn't support many special bricks like those from Simple Machines.

ManyCam - software that creates a virtual webcam on Windows and thus allows one to:

- use one physical webcam in multiple apps simultaneously

- switch which physical webcam software is using seamlessly

- add live video effects

- use a static image or video file as the webcam source

(If there is something like this already, then I have missed it!)

> For example, if it runs on the latest version of Python, tell them to install Python.

The example given here assumes that the latest version (of Python) at the time the readme was written is the same as when it is being read - I think it's far better to be explicit about what version it was developed for/with.

wow, that's awesome - thanks for sharing! :)

I'm surprised it's not more popular though, but I guess it has remained undiscovered like it was for me until now, or it's simply not as useful to others as I would think. Maybe because not all apps are GTK3 apps, or people don't want pdf's because they can't be inlined on a issue ticket like plain old images can, for example?

I see a lot of cropped screenshots on support forums, when really it would be better if the poster took the screenshot of the whole window, and then just highlighted the area they are worried about with a red square (or if you are a StackOverflow user, a freehand red circle ;)). Often the answer lies outside the area the poster thinks is relevant and if one could see it immediately, it would save lots of questions and back and forth.

That said, automatically annotated screenshots would be useful, or even better: if someone invents a screengrab tool that would semantically tag all parts of the image based on the data available so its not just a plain image. I.e. screengrab a GUI window and all the text displayed in that window could be added as metadata like titlebar/button/label text and then it becomes searchable. I guess it would need an API that the developer of the app would have to explicitly implement though for most useful results like debug state information...

This is the first time I've ever seen it explained how input methods allow users to write in languages like Chinese using the Latin letters A-Z: phonetics. I had always wondered about this, it seemed like some arcane magic to me lol, how people knew what to type.

It's now clear that for someone like me - whom only understands a few Latin based languages - a super comprehensive tutorial would be required if one wanted to understand enough about other languages to be able to work on a text editor etc. I guess ideally all teams working on such projects would have an experienced team member whose native language isn't Latin based.

One of the things I hate most about HTML 5 is that documents don't need to be well-formed XML, and are even encouraged not to be - `<hr>` instead of `<hr/>` etc, thus excluding XML processing tools from being able to work with HTML documents. Then one needs to support tag-soup / follow the HTML5 parsing guidelines to the letter when the whole mess could have easily been avoided. This affects text editor plugins etc. where one might want to utilise a single plugin/codebase and use XPath to traverse both XML and HTML documents easily

Thanks for this, it helps tremendously to have this advice when I can't decide if the hassle of sharing a side project as open source is worth the benefits, and how to ensure I can be a good leader to help my contributors and myself ensure the project is a success
