    This is why I love Notesnook and what they are doing with their app. Focusing on privacy, performance [0] [1] and their users. I am still amazed by the speed with which they work o…

    Most features that appear to only be available in native apps can quite trivially be added using any cross-platform framework like Electron. Multiple windows is not something the i…

    Notesnook ( https://notesnook.com/ ) - it's open source, has its own importer making it super easy to migrate, is fully cross platform, and doesn't force you to learn-and-relearn a…

    I think this is nothing except shitposting. The whole blog reads like an angry rant of someone who didn't get what he wanted. This is not new. Layoffs are not a new thing. New mana…

    Sucrase is faster or really close to SWC (see rhe benchmarks https://github.com/alangpierce/sucrase ). Everyone still uses Babel because of the transforms. And yes, Babel can also …

    Sucrase is proof that JS is not the problem when it comes to slow performance. JS is not slow. NodeJS is not slow. It's the code that is slow. All these people wanting to write it …

    Ask HN: Why does dart –help take 500ms?

    Hi, So I have been playing around with Dart and while it seems cool as a language the tooling performance is absolutely abysmal. As the title says, dart --help takes 500ms just to …

    The audience is hackers as it should be. You can't cater to daily users at this stage. You want people who can potentially fix the bugs they come across or add the features they mi…

    I think people are looking at this the wrong way. It's not so much about the code as it is about establishing an authority. Musk takeover is often regarded as banditry and I wouldn…

    Thank you for sharing Andreas! It's absolutely phenomenal how far along SerenityOS has come and it's also a peek at how FOSS is supposed to be - a way to learn, hack on something f…

    HTML is not for writing but for creating UIs. That was why it was created anyway. Markdown was specifically created for writing. It has no other purpose. Saying that Markdown is ba…

    Looks cool but...why not just send the .ics file directly via your IM of choice? Am I missing something here? I don't see the benefit if you still have to click, open file in your …

    If you are going for human readability then making your code expressive is the only way. Abstract away the code parts under a layer of very simply named functions/classes and boom!…

    Love what you have done with AppSmith. I started with Budibase but their query language didn't allow for cross collection/db queries. Then I learned about AppSmith and it was absol…

    Not even close to AppSmith: - Open source - Self hosted - VCS integration via git - Lots of widgets - Support for custom JS anywhere - UI is okayish (for internal apps) If this was…

    Been using (and following) Notesnook [0] for over a year now. Truly phenomenal what the devs have done in such a short time. But I don't think any one note taking style or software…
