Whoever is in charge of Google's UX standards should feel ashamed of themselves for how they constantly spit in the face of user choice ans consent. Truly a disgusting soul to perpetuate this shit.

I wanna see the "infrequently asked questions" that have high impact.

@lutindiscret @adele It's been here for a few years actually! I just don't think any other clients support the p2p :P

@alex Oh cool! Is your patch published somewhere I may read?

Attempt number 1 of auto-converting my markdown based website to

Currently only available via HTTPs and various protocols but eventually I'll add a proper gemini server to my main distributed press instance for it. 🤪 Might end up coding one since it's easier than searching through all the options for something that will fit my needs.

@metasyn @makeworld I think the main thing is deciding which parts of markdown you will throw out and how you'll "gracefully" downgrade. e.g. flattening nested lists.

This is what I came up with for anyone curious.

@makeworld Yeah, I've had decent luck with Marked for MD-to-HTML and some basic extraction.

@spanin Cool! Looks like it does gemtext already. I don't think it'd make sense to include it in my node.js project directly but I can at least use their tests as inspo, ty!

@makeworld Fair! I was just about to make an equivalent in JS so gonna have a gander at your tests for inspo 😸 I think I'm gonna say "Anything but this subset of markdown is unsupported" since it's mostly for personal use.

@makeworld Is this md2gemini lib archived cause you don't want to update it or was it not working like you'd hoped? :o

Thinking of crossposting my blog to gemini.

New release! This time we have some small quality of life improvements like enabling sites to prompt for user input which enables stuff like search engines!

It'd be nice if GitHub had a non-JS web interface with just static rendering and minimal CSS.

For real I think my ratio of "need to read source" to "docs tell me what I needed" is like 10 to 1.

Then again a lot of the stuff I need to do / work with is pretty obscure.

@nopatience I think "small bespoke apps" is where the biggest impact is. Shitty lil apps that people make mostly for themselves that they just couldn't have otherwise because they can't justify paying a programmer to make them.

Anyone here has a cross-platform GUI toolkit they love?

I'm kinda sad that there is nothing really easy out there. I remember how easy it was to just launch LiveCode (aka Runtime Revolution) create a stack and just create standalones for macOS, Windows, and Linux.

I just want to cook up some tiny GUI tools here and it seems like Tk still the easiest option.

Maybe the *real* documentation is the code we wrote along the way 🥰

The hard part of this is going to be figuring out how the heck Chromiums google build tools handle extracting assets from AARs and adding them to the build config 😱
