There is a difference between a product that a company pushes out as part of its business roadmap with a commercial strategy around it vs. an experimental research project that a single developer takes up on their own initiative.

It is great that they were allowed to open source it.

XMLUI 1 year ago

I understand the motivation for this, but don't understand why this can't just be a collection of web components.

This looks fantastic. Thanks for open-sourcing this. For a passion project this looks really polished and well done.

I know a lot of people have crazy expectations from open-source projects these days - and many of the comments here echo those, but you can gradually evolve it at your own pace. You don't owe folks anything.

Edge TTS 1 year ago

The ReadEra app for android supports this, and I use it for reading/listening to ebooks during commute. It works well.

It is quite beneficial for people who aren't writing python. And for them managing jupyterlab installations is a bit of pain.

I would like to use this with xeus kernel for sql (which is also native) and if this reduces the resource consumption of that setup significantly, its a big plus for me.

Just because some edge cases aren't supported, doesn't mean you can't take advantage of the type-safety in the rest of the application.

This particular feature seems to have nothing to do with the query builder even, just the migration system. You can always write just those specific migrations manually.

Does using template strings not compromise with type-safety? The drizzle example will be a compile time error for example if id wasn't a numeric column.

Seems a strange design choice for a library that claims to offer a type-safe sql builder.

Typst is great, but really doesn't really serve the primary use case of mdbook which is building documentation websites or digital knowledge gardens that are accessible as a website.

If you are typesetting a research paper or writing a technical book for print publication typst is a great solution, but for a lot folks not having web support is an absolute dealbreaker.

This is a great concept. I'd love for this to be a part of a notetaking solution that I can run locally.

Curious what your long term plans are.

I am also curious if it supports taking (entire) tables as inputs and creating derived tables from them which can then be presented as chart etc. That would be really powerful.

Foliate's core function is an ebook reader and not library management. Once installed you can double click your epubs to open them on foliate - it will not move around your stuff.

There is a library view in the app but it is mostly a history of recently accessed files.

I started using this a few hours ago and so far am really pleased with the experience. Vim keybindings mostly work as expected and TS integration works great oob. I can totally see this becoming my primary editor going forward.

If you want to avoid Adobe software, but are familiar with photoshop, Photopea [1] is a great choice.

It supports psd files (natively, without any export/import), has similar shortcuts, can import photoshop brushes and overall comes across as a well designed software. Their subreddit has a great helpful community too.

I am not a professional photo editor or graphic designer, but I have been using it a few times every week for last year or so and have yet to come across any bugs.
