Yeah, I also notice that a lot in vibe coded apps. Tbf it's what a mid level dev would write as copy if they were given no product requirements. Kinda hard to shift from engineer b…

I would have loved to try locally, but the installer asks me to create an account and I don't want to do that yet.

The main site mentions being able to "mount" a branch, vs. cloning a new repo or using git worktrees. And messageless commits for intermediate work. Besides that tho I don't see a …

Same thing happened to me. Except I created a new Facebook account using my work email. I had to use my personal Facebook account. Meta has become so awful.

I work on a small team. I talk to coding agents a lot. I also talk to my human team members a lot. So I have decent experience with interacting with both LLMs and humans. My two ¢:…

This new product might be better, but Shimmer was publicly criticized exploitative when it launched. I saw those criticisms at the time, gave the product a fair chance anyway, and …

Yeah true, I'm starting to remember the headaches with yaml when I was using kubernetes or cloudformation....

Yep, I think the compelling reason of humans writing code is key here. SQLite would make it less accessible for people to write external tooling to integrate with an obsidian vault…

I haven’t had any issues with yaml in markdown frontmatter or openapi specs. What kind of issues do you see with list and maps that make you against yaml? I agree that for computer…

I completely agree. Even if they completely tank I can open my obsidian directory in a text editor or command line and still use it. I would still have access to features that are …

Any reference for obsidian's specs? The closest thing I could find is this: https://docs.excalidraw.com/docs/codebase/json-schema but it seems to be really minimal and doesn't go i…

Sometimes you have nodes that overlap each other, so you want to control whether or not a node is in front of or behind another node. Though yes, they could have explicitly defined…

I think you're talking about the trade offs between supporting features like "DOM manipulation, state management, animation, etc." and "shipping updates" out of the box, versus onl…

An object in JSON is meant to be unordered [1], so arrays are better if you want order to be preserved. [1] https://www.json.org/json-en.html

I agree with a lot of comments that it's minimal, but in my opinion that is a good thing. I'm a big fan of Obsidian, and of the things I like about it is the data source is all mar…

Looking at this with an open mind, I'm curious what benefits running SQLite in WebAssembly with a proxied web worker API layer gives compared to using localStorage or something sim…

I somewhat agree, because as an end user all I had to do is disable the bundled apps (teams, etc) and switch the default browser to firefox. I agree with the criticism though, it r…

Did your entire Google account get deactivated? My Google account is linked to Gmail, GCP/Firebase, Youtube, Drive, and a ton of SSO apps. Used it for the past decade, but I know n…

Agreed, I have a small 3 node cluster at home and I use all of those things you listed. I had to dive very deep in the details and learn a ton of new things to get it right, and I …

Agreed, I used lastpass in 2016 and tried to switch to keepass. I'm more than technical enough to use keypass and sync a vault across all my devices, but I needed this to be as eas…

I got pretty proficient at using vim in vscode, and personally for me the investment was worth it. It's great for working in HTML with chords like `va"p` (replace selection around …

I understand where you're coming from, but I'm going to play devil's advocate and think through everything that needs to be considered for a simple, "back in the day" solution that…

Brain dump: Looks very cool. From what I can tell... pros: * No tooling to set up, don't have to think about project structure or computation (VMs or cloud functions) * Don't have …

Are there any plans to make this support Typescript in the future? :)
