GitSync works fine, you can find my previous comment about it (I don't want to spam the whole thread over and over with the same message)

GitSync works for me both on Android and iOS. I'm not using it that frequently tho, and you have make it a habit to open GitSync first, sync the changes (pull) and then open Obsidian. Also, after changing the notes you should again open GitSync and do a sync (commit + push).

I think he meant the only option as a web developer. Maybe he doesn't know C++ and C#, and it's not that easy with a web-oriented mindset to start writing desktop apps in C++ (it's not easy the other way either, I had a friend who after years of programming in Delphi started with the web by absolutely positioning every single HTML element).

When someone asks in which lang should he implement a webapp/SaaS/whatever, the first comment is to use the tech he knows the most. Why so much hate when the same principle is used for desktop app development?

Anything you could either do manually or write a bash/python/javascript/php/whatever script for, or use a SaaS.

It can be anything, like scraping some site and exporting the data as csv, getting raw text from pdf, doc files etc.

Do you use something like this, or do something that can be automated this way? Just give some examples that first come to mind.

Then it's not just me...

You get the "Service Unavailable" message, too?

To be honest, it's pretty bad, you can't imagine. Everything is in one single C++ file (+ the main.cpp), the chat is a webkit widget (it was the easiest and fastest solution), there is no error checking or anything so it can crash any time, etc etc...

Actually, this is my first C++ project, I don't even know C++ (only a bit C from high school).

Show HN: Kolor Game 11 years ago

It would be better if I can choose the color with keyboard buttons, like with

    Q W E R T
    A S D F G
Moving the cursor is really slow and is a disadvantage, especially with a touchpad, however I haven't tried on touchscreen.

Btw,

    setInterval(function() {
     var color = document.querySelector("#kolor-kolor").style.backgroundColor;
     var links = document.querySelectorAll("#kolor-options a");
     for(i in links) {
      if(links[i].style.backgroundColor == color) {
       links[i].click();
       return;
      }
     }
    }, 10);

I myself don't have experience with this, but a friend of mine tried to revive a ZX Spectrum with a RasPi 1. As far as I remember he had trouble connecting te ZX keyboard to the Raspi.

I'm creating something like this, but as a desktop app in java using VLC api.

There is a screenshot[1] of the current state, but it's a bit ugly since I had to stop working on it because of my exams. The idea is to replace the VLC+Skype combo for watching movies together with automatically syncing the play/pause.

But there is another problem I haven't decided yet, and it's the communication channel for chat and syncing. I'm torn between creating a server on an own VPS or adding an IRC client to the app (since you can always find a free irc server and create a room).

1) Thanks, I will definitely read this. I didn't mentioned but I also tried Wordoid and some other similar services. My problem with these is that I need a word as the starting point, but I can't find one for which wordoid can generate words that sounds good and is easy to pronounce (the generated word is either crap or the com domain is not available).

2) I tried jamming words, but nothing... I even tried finding keywords for this on BetaLis and YCList.
