Alternatively I might just migrate to use Next in static mode instead of Vite

Ah I see! I’m considering adopting it now because by the time our next version ships this might be ready 😅

Makes sense! Even if useExtracted just consumed the existing files in Vite rather than generating/watching - that would probably be enough for us!

Thanks I didn’t read thoroughly enough, this is awesome!

Niche question: we use Next for our web app but Vite for our desktop app and share code between them. Will useExtracted work nicely if we call it in common code shared between the two frameworks?

Amazing!

I wonder if it’s possible to a) add string descriptions/context inline to enable better AI translation or b) even integrate directly with LLMs somehow to translate strings in real time as you create them.

I would suggest swapping the backgrounds of the sidebar and content. The convention on Mac is usually for the sidebar to be grey and to keep the content bg white for a paper like feel.

For fonts, if you want the app to feel native SF Pro is the way to go. There are more playful variants of it!

This happens to mine all the time but turning it off and on again fixes it for me

Cantab is the postnominal people from University of Cambridge (UK) can put after their name eg “MSc Hons (Cantab)”. Many universities have them. Oxford is Oxon, mine is Ebor (York). It’s the Latin name of the city.
