Tauri is fun, albeit the last time I used it was where the business logic was in Python, and that created so many sub issues with IPC...

Actually, now that I've thought more about it this does sound pretty fun. If it's what I'm thinking of, management and juggling priorities and infrastructure that sounds like a fun strategy.

Just reading the description, I'm not too sure if it sounds fun...

Vivaldi works really nicely, but I find it has too many features to work well with my use cases. You can turn them off, but I found that it took a lot of time to make it look how I wanted it to look.

My default browser zoom is 120%. Tried running it at 200% actually, but too many websites were unusable.

Light work on theming some Google Account/One Google components with @catppuccin.com... needs a lot of work to get into a usable state for a port, though.

Catppuccin themed Microsoft 365 Web. This is an update to the already existing microsoft-word userstyle, just with support for Word, Excel, and PowerPoint. OneDrive is also partially coloured, but more work needs to be done on that front.

Microsoft Word on the web. The ribbon area, footer and icons are themed using the Catppuccin colour palette, with a purple accent. The body area is partially themed, with some elements using the default colour palette.

Microsoft Excel on the web. The ribbon area and icons are themed with Catppuccin colours, with a purple accent. The body area, including columns and rows is unthemed, using a white and green colour palette. The footer area is not themed properly, having poor contrast between the background and text.

Microsoft PowerPoint on the web. The ribbon area, footer and icons are themed with Catppuccin colours, with a purple accent. The body area, including the slide list, editor are unthemed, using a white and red colour palette.

There's the option of copying someone else's UX patterns, making some changes (spacing, colour, font, shape) and using that. Most of the time results in a good to use app with okay UX patterns from my app cloning experience.

This extension looks awesome, will try to find some time to check it out sometime! There's just so many little QOL things I wish GitHub did, and this looks like it covers a lot of the things might not even have noticed.

What I did a few times was just copy the base computed styles and manually setup the state styles. It results in all the variables being lost though which might not be ideal.

I really like the Google Pixel's keyboard sounds... They sound so nice.

Even worse when it's in a 600 page textbook... and the library staff don't let you stick your fingers in it because it wrecks the binding.

Happens in nature as well, a lot of the time gender dimorphism is very subtle.

I quite like Google's class name naming schema, despite the verbosity. It's broken down into a few segments, <library><parent component>-<sub component>__<primitive><state>. As an example, javascriptMaterialdesignGm3WizButtonOutlined-button__label:hover. You can cut the library part as well.

It's the same roughly the same schema as <label>, as an example. That's how I visualize it.

<label for="foo">MFA verification code</button>
<input id="foo" type="number" />

I would assume they would apply it for you... considering the cost of the device
