I want something like this in a keyboard: a completely hidden drive that the OS cannot see until I type in a certain string of characters (password) to activate it with a separate string of characters to deactivate it.

I just want icons that I can click from my home screen (eg PWA).

Title should read "Web Browsers on PDAs", in case you're confused like I was.

I'm a fan of Manuskript on Linux. It's similar but has more features and, IMO, looks better: https://www.theologeek.ch/manuskript/

My personal tagline, "I came here to kick ass, build web applications, and chew bubble gum. And I'm all out of gum." came from this movie.

I hate how these tools ask me to type in some long prompt and then once I finish they tell me that I need to make an account.

I actually found the LLM-generated image more annoying than the LLM-generated prose.

No print publication on the planet does this. The print editions of the very same publications — The New York Times, The Guardian, The Wall Street Journal, The Atlantic, The New Yorker — don’t do anything like this.

Ehh... I cancelled my SF Chronicle subscription a year ago. Since then I've received a dozen predatory phone calls and just add many letters. Plus when you do have the subscription they alter prices on you like a cable TV provider. So in some ways print is better than web but in other ways it's worse.

Article?

Mine is pretty cool looking: https://thomashunter.name/posts/2026-02-26-alpaka-elements-t...

Jack couldn't be bothered to use capital letters in his last layoff email either.

Hopefully this will get momentum scrolling working.

It's definitely neither sensible nor convenient. I expect it to trigger the scrollbar, not move the whole window. The only way one should be able to move the window is to drag the title bar. There's no reason clicking and dragging the 1px window border should ever move the whole window. Every Linux window manager, Windows, and IIRC Mac System <= 9 behaves this way.

What drives me nuts is if I slam my cursor against the right side of the window with the intent to click and drag the scroll bar of a maximized window up and down then the 1px wide window border gets selected and the whole window moves up and down. This has been a bug for several years.

About time. It's absolutely ridiculous that this hasn't existed for the past 10 years.

It's likely LLM generated

The homescreen may one day contain ads.

Sadly momentum scrolling doesn't work on Zed for Linux. This is a big reason I haven't jumped ship.

It's also a reason I still use Firefox based browsers instead of chromium based browsers.

The human verification script used on this site caused my phone's speakers to wig out.

This reminds me of https://radiant.computer/

Just dropping in to say how lovely the Gerrit experience is when compared to GitHub: https://www.gerritcodereview.com/

Each proposal has a revision history that can be viewed so that all comments have context at that point in time:

https://rfchub.app/rfchub/rfc1-org-batch-markdown-exporter-j...

Unfortunately it means there's no fancy CRDT system: no multiplayer edits for example.

I haven't looked into webhooks yet or browser notifications. That's all stuff that I would build when left to my own devices but I want more user feedback on basic functionality.

Great ideas!

You convinced me tonight to implement a feature: pasting content from Google Docs now gets converted into markdown. For example bold becomes *bold*, heading 1 becomes # Heading. It'll even find monospace fonts in a paragraph and add `code` ticks or monospace on dedicated lines and convert into ```code blocks```.

Faster automation would of course be nicer, e.g. providing a Google Drive directory and slurping all of the docs up, but that'll take a bit more time.

There are zero IETF RFCs on it.

I agree that adoption will likely be difficult. Basically the larger the engineering org the greater the benefit. If a company only has a few proposals a year then RFC Hub is mostly just friction.

I've worked at a few companies with thousands of engineers and where I've had to review hundreds of proposals. That's where the product really shines. Of course I do want it to be useful to smaller orgs as well. Adding Google auth should help reduce signup friction.

As another person on here put it, RFC Hub will benefit from automated importing of proposals. To be maximally beneficial all engineers at a company need to have an account and all RFCs need to be in RFC Hub. It almost requires a top down mandate which is bad. I do hope to make it incrementally beneficial for smaller teams.

Thanks for the feedback!

I agree that the UI is dated and can be a little overwhelming. The sample RFC (https://rfchub.app/rfchub/rfc1-org-batch-markdown-exporter-j...) shows what a proposal looks like with every single feature being used. Most of the time they'll look a bit simpler. I have a big UI overhaul planned but I'm hoping to get more real usage feedback on the core functionality first.

FWIW the editing process does use markdown, and the "download" link in the sidebar downloads a markdown file with YAML frontmatter to avoid vendor lock-in. RFC Hub has so much functionality that it's difficult to explain it all on the homepage. There is this overview document but it's honestly just overwhelming:

I'm glad to hear you would have found it beneficial!

I've definitely seen the same patterns at companies (and even introduced similar patterns).

The proposal linking was inspired both by IETF RFCs and by Jira issues. I love how both systems provide semantic meanings to such links (X obsoletes Y).

I do hope to marry the engineering love of markdown with management's love of WYSIWYG. Currently the proposal editing process is done via a syntax-highlighted markdown editor but in the future I'll add a WYSIWYG editor, then let users select a default mode.

I suppose this is the kind of thing that would be handled by a separate RFC but I hope that browsers will be allowed to send QUERY requests via HTML <form> elements since traditionally they can only send GET and POST.

I did originally plan for every company to be able to configure their own XYZ prefix (there's a vestibule of this that you can see here by replacing `rfc` with any arbitrary acronym like `XYZ`):

https://rfchub.app/rfchub/XYZ1-org-batch-markdown-exporter-j...

The overall namespace is the org slug (`rfchub` in this case) so I was going to allow different orgs to choose the same prefix (defaulting to `RFC`). In that respect the actual globally unique identifier for this proposal is `rfchub/rfc1`. But I need to figure out some bigger features first before I add that.
