    Big plus for html/css/js, mostly Pixi 8 or around (I also have a couple threejs). Vanilla JS. I did this by hand before, but having the LLM tweak around the code and styling while …

    I wrote a (not published to the store, it's kind of just for me) Chrome extension (together with Gemini, pretty early in the days of it) that attaches an expiration date to tabs. W…

    I would think this is not true

    I also wrote a minimal version for me, https://mostlymaths.net/nb/ Only works well on mobile portrait though, I designed it especifically for my phone. Don't use it much though.

    I've been writing something similar that keeps evolving, although computable code blocks and markdown have been in there since v1. Runs locally, saves to LocalStorage and is always…

    Weave: https://github.com/rberenguel/weave It's hard to explain what it is. Think personal knowledge manager text editor inspired by Acme. The readme and video there are very outda…

    Edit and format? I don't remember getting any formatting or editing help from any research journal ever, aside from getting some LaTeX style file.

    A web-based "note taking app with weird functionality I want, with a bit of an Acme feel" is the latest one (README severely outdated, but I post screenshots and screen captures of…

    This video constructs a GoL in APL (not one liner). It is quite understandable even if you don’t know APL (I had just started tinkering with APL when I first found it I think): htt…

    I should probably brush it up and just upload it to Arxiv. But then I need ok from my advisor, and maybe she’d rather not (since she’d be a coauthor of that..). I’ll try again, tha…

    I did some research on this on the side for my dissertation, but never published it. The fact centers approximate the boundary generalises to almost any point in the plane as a con…

    It’s definitely not ergonomic, but very portable. I have it as a backup pointer just in case.

    The Wedge Touch Mouse, which has a weird wedge shape and runs out of a single AA battery also has touch sensitive (vertical only IIRC? haven’t used it in a while) scroll as far as …

    I guess I could make the on-screen keyboard work with a text area instead of needing an external one, but I never planned on using that, I find “glass keyboards” annoying to use. I…

    Shilling (or not, it’s open source, who cares). I made this: https://github.com/rberenguel/PiWrite It is not iA Writer in eink, but I got distant inspiration (I used it a lot back …

    Comment #38521950

    I kind of wrote something for this a few years ago: https://github.com/rberenguel/glancer [edited a fat-fingered copy-paste] The use-case is technical videos (like from conferences…

    That certainly looks great, and has an excellent form factor too

    Not exactly what you want (I want the same) but I wrote this to scratch that itch: https://github.com/rberenguel/PiWrite

    Writing latency on the RM is good: for typing is very likely to be well above OK… as long as you don't have to scroll the text/screen. Because page turning latency/refresh speed is…

    The Kindle can’t handle USB networking, so it wouldn’t be a viable option. The private network is only needed if you are not in a WiFi capable area: at home I use it without AP

    It’s not as bad as I expected before trying the project. You can try with SolarWriter (which is easier to set up than this weird thing I did) to get an idea. I consider it “mechani…

    I don’t have the Folio case, but I have a Remarkable 2 and the screen refresh time is not as nice as the Paperwhite by quite a margin. I had actually managed to plug a USB keyboard…

    I have always eyed similar solutions, but getting root access to the Kindle has been getting more convoluted each time: I always chose to not try to avoid being a few days without …
