    This project pretty much pivoted into https://dragonruby.org , a framework for making 2d games in Ruby. It's pretty active and in-development, but has nothing to do with building c…

    I do ask this question in a initial questionnaire. I list bunch of technologies and just require this input. I do agree with all the points in the article, but my goal is to have r…

    If you want to go full circle you can send the ⌘-C and ⌘-V key events before/after they query. This will just send selected text and replace this with answer. I prefer not to do th…
