Hi,

I'm Edwin Yip. I mainly develop in Delphi. My newest and key project is (https://docxmanager.com). Basically it helps authors who uses Microsoft Word organize and plan their writings, and optionally generate modern-looking websites out of their documents.

> A similar tool got shown here on HN...a visual tool to edit CSS is a) so handy but b) really hard to build because it's not programmatically obvious which file to make updates too...

Can you point me to the post so that I can study more details? As mentioned about, the idea of my http://liveditor.com is not to edit the css for you but points you to the line of the css file so that you can edit the styles in the code editor and see the result instantly.

First, congrats to your new project! Secondly, although it's not for react, but that's exactly the same reason why I have developed http://liveditor.com some years ago! The idea was that the css inspector/tweaker and the code editor should be combined together and working together seamlessly.

PS, I know the software might have some little issues but I'm going to update it soon ;)

Lazarus is great! While FPC and Lazarus make it very easy and productive to make cross-platform GUI software, people should know that mORMot (https://github.com/synopse/mORMot2) makes it very easy to develop cross-platform web apps.

mORMot has been around for over a decade, the feature-set is very rich and mature, and the development and user forums are also very active - you can easily confirm that by checking the github repo's commit logs and visiting their forum.

mORMot's ORM is quite interesting - it's based on SQLite and supports all other mainstream databases through SQLite's virtual table mechanism.

I don't remember the details, but the framework I use uses some custom collation when creating tables in a sqlite db, and when tools like SQLite Studio is performing some kind of actions it complains something like "collation not recognized/supported"...

Very coo! I think the most useful use case would be managing remote SQLite dbs using existing database GUI tools. One question - does it support custom collations? That might prevent us from using it if it doesn't...

KeePassXC 2.7.0 4 years ago

Does KeePassXC has triggers like KeePass? I use triggers to auto-mount TrueCrypt drives after opened the password database, does KeepPassCX allow me to do the same thing? Thanks.

I just tried and found a show-stopper that you might want to solve - it slows down my TortoiseSVN Log Messages view which connects to a local SVN server from 0.1 milliseconds to 20+ seconds.

New iPhone SE 4 years ago

Here in China you can replace a new battery for about 16USD. I've done that 3 times, each of which lasts about 1 year.

Consider SQLite 5 years ago

we were able to have the local database file be encrypted protecting the data at rest. How do you store the password locally? Or do you requesting the passwords from a remote server?
