Rx has a bit of a "namespace collision" with the functional reactive programming library ReactiveX, which has implementations in many different languages. Often these libraries are called Rx(Java|Swift|Ruby|PHP|js|$LANG).
Paradigm: http://reactivex.io/ http://reactivex.io/
Implementations: http://reactivex.io/languages.html http://reactivex.io/languages.html
That being said the editor looks very cool! Congrats on shipping!
- mlevental 7y agopeople bring this kind of thing up in every thread as if it's a useful comment for either the reader or the poster (presumably project author). it's almost as common as "this page sucks on mobile". who cares? we all know how to use Google by now to narrow results by adding qualifying keywords to the query; it's not like I'm just going to search "rx" or even "rx rust" when I'm looking for this project (probably "rx rust pixel"). it's a complete non-issue.
- njharman 7y agoWhy would you image an author would not care that their page "suck on mobile". If they are posting/sharing their stuff, they more than likely want people to consume (and spread/reshare it). Both being poor experience on mobile and non-discoverably, hard to search for impact that.
- mlevental 7y agoi'm sure the author cares. what i'm not sure about is that the author isn't aware and that "hey your site fails on mobile" is of much use to them.
- PhasmaFelis 7y agoI can easily imagine an author who rarely uses their own mobile page except to make sure that it works at all; or who knows it's not great, but doesn't realize just how annoying it is; or even who has never looked at their site on mobile, ever.
- nonconvergent 7y agoI care. Also it's a potential legal issue for any given project if there's a registered trademark involved. Plus first result for "rx rust" lead me to https://github.com/ReactiveX/RxRust https://github.com/ReactiveX/RxRust
- mlevental 7y ago>probably "rx rust pixel" https://www.google.com/search?q=rx+rust+pixel&oq=rx+rust https://www.google.com/search?q=rx+rust+pixel&oq=rx+rust
- nonconvergent 7y agoLet's keep in mind that this is an end user application for pixel artwork. You and I might care that it's Rust. End Users will not. It could be written in Malbolge or BF for all an end user cares about. Namespace collision is gonna be a pain for end users and newcomers, possibly depressing discovery, which is our point.
- johnisgood 7y ago> Also it's a potential legal issue for any given project if there's a registered trademark involved. At some point we will have to generate random strings for the name of our projects because all the "good" (or even "bad") ones are taken. :P
- nonconvergent 7y agoAlready a thing: https://namelix.com/app/?keywords=poop+scoop https://namelix.com/app/?keywords=poop+scoop Highlights for a "poop+scoop" related startup include: Flingo, Trash.ly, Fastpoop, Stinkere, Guunk, and Spoop
- Waterluvian 7y agoI'm surprised it didn't come up with Scoopr.
- nonconvergent 7y agoApparently there is already one for Rust too. https://github.com/ReactiveX/RxRust https://github.com/ReactiveX/RxRust
- thsowers 7y agoYou say "already", but the repo you link to hasn't been updated in nearly five years
- nonconvergent 7y agoYes. That's how time and tense works.
- vips7L 7y agoThey're decent libraries, but I don't really enjoy working with the java version. The RX types pollute the entire code base and it feels like functional programming is forced into the imperative style.
- atoav 7y agoAnother Namespace collision with iZotope RX (a audio retouche tool).
- nwareing 7y agoAnd an even bigger "namespace collision" with it being the common shorthand for medical prescriptions
- tln 7y agoThe editor does look cool. Maybe it should be called rxl rhymes with pixel.
