i have an idea i'm slowly working on but i don't want to mention it in case someone beats me to it 😶

the biggest challenge in contributing to the AT ecosystem so far is whatever small project i think of doing, i find out somebody has already done before. this isn’t a complaint though i wish things were more discoverable. but also i just need better ideas

this is such a good idea and looks really well executed (AND OPEN SOURCE 😁)

two replies mention librewolf, which seems neat but is still firefox for better or worse and focuses mainly on privacy over ux, which i think i don't care as much about...

for context you have to click either of these two locations

screenshot of porkbun.com's domain management page with two red arrows and red circles; one highlighting the word "DNS" in small text beneath the domain name in the top left (only appears on hover/active) and the other highlighting a small "edit" icon next to the heading "DNS Records", which is one of 21 other headings on the page

what browsers are people using today?
brave: ew crypto, ew brendan eich
zen: slow, DRM/widevine
firefox: slow, behind on web features
safari: no web extensions
chrome: google tracking
opera: weird
vivaldi: ?

orion maybe? does ungoogled chromium have DRM? helium doesn't have DRM iirc.

from the image nelson uses not "clanker" but "clank", and to refer to what we would now call "slop", while "clanker" nowadays has a different meaning as a supposed slur for robots though

i just want a browser with multiple profiles in one window. i don't even care about vertical tabs, i just need the single window switchable profiles from arc/zen

totallynotseth.dev @totallynotseth.dev · 2d

And also run really slow and not support widevine

I greatly dislike Zen Browser actually

matprotocol @mmatt.net · 2d

it'd probably have like sideways tabs and a really bad browser engine that can't display colors correctly

wait she follows them?? oml 😭 i can't lie that's awful

I know I'm going to catch more blocks for this, but:

I do not take the fact that Jay follows Singal and Yglesias as her endorsing their opinions or even presence on the platform. It's not crazy for CEO of the platform to keep tabs on the boogeymen of the platform.

my worry is i probably shouldn't be staying on cloudflare pages for much longer, they have their own share of problems too 😭

i think the work that remains to be done is asking the neovim folks why they havent adopted xyz from helix and asking the same of the helix folks about neovim. then you get your ideal set.

1

leah @uncenter.dev · 5d

that set is incredibly limited with not nearly enough specificity 😒

leah @uncenter.dev · 5d

another issue with trying to standardize queries is not all editors support the same directives and predicates. it's a hard problem to solve!

1 1

leah @uncenter.dev · 5d

and neovim used whatever but is now much closer to the helix/sublime-inspired style.

1 1

leah @uncenter.dev · 5d

landed on the best approach before trying to get standardization. zed and tree-sitter's "defaults" are far too simple to allow the right kind of theme customization that suits everybody, vscode (which has an engineer adding tree-sitter) is sticking with textmate scopes, helix uses sublime scopes

1 1

leah @uncenter.dev · 5d

they probably shouldn't, a large part of tree-sitter is that the captures can be arbitrary. and it's good that we've had a diversity in approaches, i'm pretty sure tree-sitter core only has those as examples and they aren't any kind of standard. we should do a proper analysis of which editor...

leah @uncenter.dev · 5d

noooo those are the worst queries of any editor 😭

@nytimes.com your app capitalizes Bluesky as BlueSky ☹️

leah @uncenter.dev · 5d

you should document what the standard you are aligning on is. are you aligning on vscode/textmate-style, neovim-style, helix-style, or whatever else-style queries? that's probably the biggest blocker here
