This sounds very close to my dream IDE, I've always wanted to build a smalltalk + emacs like editor/ide in Clojure but never got around to it. I wanted to try Easel but there were no instructions how. This is how I got it running:

At work we've started switching to codeberg (which uses forgejo) and honestly it's a breath of fresh air compared to GitHub. It's blazing fast compared to GitHub and has feature parity with our needs.

I have clicked about ~20,000 photographs on a Sony camera in the last year and a half. And I have published exactly 0 of those photos on social media. Whenever I meet my friends and family, I show them the pictures myself and the story behi

Seeing lots of emacs praise on HN since the last 2 days. In this blog post I walk through the process of how I go about extending emacs (specifically a 3rd party plugin) and tailoring it to my specific problems. I'm definitely not an e

Creating signal backups for iPhone users is _really_ hard. The only way to do it is to get a backup from the Signal Desktop app, which is also non-trivial because in recent versions of the desktop the decrypt key is also encrypted and store

Sorry but this is anything but simple to me. I consider my own static site generator [1] much simpler than this. Around 250 SLOC with 4 dependencies (markdown2, pyyaml, jinja2, Pygments) [1]: https://github.com/oxalorg/

Exactly this. My entire website is handcrafted, and not once but over the last decade almost ~10 times. It's fun and I almost end up revamping something every year. Everything handcrafted: - the matrix js code on home page. https:&#x2

Curious to learn more about your switch from Emacs to VSCode? I'm a super confused soul, and currently I use all of them: - Emacs (for clojure / lisps / big projects). - NeoVim (for when I want to work in the shell, smaller s

1. re: the first part, many people want something plug and play. and even if they were plug and play, the problem is that the user experience (on windows at least) with online drives generally sucks. windows for sure doesn't hide laten

This is quite nice! Shameless plug for my version of this (sakura.css [1]) which is - much smaller (3.9kb / 1.9kb gzipped) - looks more in-line with the default browser styles (demo [2]) - but does not use css variables yet, instead di

by oxalorg 5y ago
I agree. That is why I actually just decided to use different css files for different themes in sakura.css (it comes in at 3.8k / ~1.8k gzipped ) This also means that they can easily be used by others as well [1]. Have gotten some fol

Shameless plug, but do check out [sakura.css]( https://github.com/oxalorg/sakura ). I've tried to keep it really simple so that folks without css knowledge are also able to hack on it while building their sites. Wou

These were some refreshing ideas to solve UX problems in the clojure REPL driven development flow (especially the REPL panel which I always keep hidden). I've been frustrated a bit with the general UX of using emacs, clojure, and REPL

In windows I usually use enter to enter a folder and backspace to back out. It’s not exactly up/down semantic as backspace will go back to the place you entered from (eg. search) rather than the logical parent directory. But this still

Thank you I needed to read this, very well put and wonderful advice! Regarding your first point: I am still not sure if I'm cut out for startups / the hustle. But I've made some of these mistakes and I'm glad I did. Beca

Thank you for using sakura.css, really appreciate it and glad you enjoyed using it! ^_^ On the other hand, I really enjoy working with tailwind. Having html and css "together" works really well with my mental model, and I can iter

Hey are you talking about the footnote link [0] on the demo page? If so thanks for pointing it out, looks like I forgot to add the `fn1` footnote id on the element. Fixed it. [0]: https://oxal.org/projects/sakura/d

I solve this problem using a bookmarklet [0] which automagically applies sane css to websites like these. It’s insane that it’s 2020 and some people still refuse to use CSS haha [0]: https://oxal.org/projects/sakura&#x2

I've been a happy user of WSL2 since 2 months, and I absolutely love it. After switching to it, I completely stopped using Mac Mini and Linux. It has made my life so easier. All the Linux stuff + development work gets done inside Windo
