Long, interesting and thoughtful comment chain created by posting an, effectively, empty link on HN. (reached the first page too!)

I see a possible solution. Have a tool which posts to your blog _and_ to twitter. You get the engagement on twitter and also have the information in the open for other people to read too (you can link the blog post at the end of the inlined

Thank you so much for doing this (or, at least, intending to) and apologies for calling you "not tech-aware" :) Also thanks to our anonymous benefactor who actually uploaded the books to archive.org.

This looks really interesting. Can some kind soul please upload (at least one) of these books to archive.org? That seems a much better place for Public Domain works than google drive. I understand that the people releasing the books may not

While I understand the point about displaying a time in a given timezone (output/strftime) I don't see how specifying a timezone on a epoch count makes any sense (input/strptime). A 'number of seconds since epoch' (

This! I too, have resorted to the same techniques, making me feel like a "master forger" at his painstaking art. I was imagining a tool which would just let me create an interactive overlay on a PDF. It sounds like Xournal might b

The de-anonymizing attack is very interesting. Thank you for highlighting it. The creator name is 'feature creep' about a future use scenario. People were trying to add uniqueness by changing the creator name, so I added it to the

My first paying customer! Happy Day! Srsly tho. at the moment I don't have those features, but neither did the PDF form experience I'm trying to beat. It's a low bar, but we are still expected to fill out PDF forms today, in

(just between you and me, I was planning on ignoring the suggestions for extra libraries and "modernisation"; also it's a feature that it doesn't use a gui form designer. ssshh don't tell anyone...)

Thanks for the Milligram suggestion. I will look into it. It may even fix your mobile experience. Also thanks for for the mobile test feedback. Can I ask what mobile device you tested on? Such data points would be really useful to me. I act

Editing in PDF sounds like a good idea. I just tried it in Firefox (latest/postmodern, Linux) and none (not a single one) of the form's fields are editable. It's an even worse experience than Libreoffice.

> Is no code a marketing term for code Yes. I could have said "low-code" and probably have been able to look at myself in the mirror. Now I am thoroughly ashamed of myself.

Thanks. I did a re-release and deleted the database of forms. Link is now updated. (creating the identical form twice is not allowed; not really a problem in real world scenarios)

Yes. Certainly interesting ideas I will look into.

Does this mean I can now develop iOS (iphone/ipad) apps, start to finish, without asking Apple's permission _at any stage_, and then sideload these apps onto my personal iphone/ipad? (assuming as mentioned elsewhere that I ca

Thanks for [ncdu]. I like it and had not heard of it. I see no mention of [KDirStat] http://kdirstat.sourceforge.net/ of which, the much more famous, but later, [WinDirStat], is a clone.

I love the core (almost forth-like) idea of spawn'ing sections of the argv[] to 'interpret' sub-blocks rather than having a central interpreter. (very suckless)
