My primary association with the word "fantastic" is simply "great" or "very good", as in "you did a fantastic job!". It's this meaning of the word that I found oddly disconnected from the word "imaginary". How do you get from something meaning "not real" to something meaning "very good"?
But the word "unreal" helped me make the leap, since that's a word I would use to describe something I thought was "very cool" or "well done".

And you can save macros for later use or just create a one-off "Scratch" macro as described here [2].

But some other points still stand, like how Firefox got back to us quickly about the "delay", and how they showed our position in a queue. Google, on the other hand, was worse than just opaque about the process.
Why were we worried about Mozilla? Because things were so bad with Google that we figured something had to go wrong with Mozilla. So we put our psychological guard up just in case.
For what it's worth, Firefox asks for an unminified source bundle during the submission process (including for all updates), and Chrome does not. This doesn't mean that anyone over at Mozilla is actually looking through that source, but it's an interesting difference.
Keysmith comes with a Chrome and Firefox extension that make it better about working with the web. If you're using that extension, Keysmith will be smart about waiting in a few ways:
First, it'll wait for page loads if you're navigating between pages.
Second, it identifies elements you click on instead of just clicking at coordinates. So if you click on a Submit button, Keysmith won't try to click until it actually sees that Submit button there.
And finally, Keysmith is often able to identify when clicking on some button caused some other view to appear, so it knows to wait for that the next time when you're running the macro. This is just based on some heuristics, so it won't always work, but I'd recommend giving it a shot for your use case!
Would love to hear what you think
Ultimately I decided to build org-web anyway because I wanted something a bit closer to the metal, in a way. My impression of Beorg was that its bit higher level, whereas org-web provides some first class support for org features while still letting you edit the raw text if you'd like to.
To be clear, I think both styles have their advantages. org-web's style isn't better, its better for me.
Redux also helped me grow a lot as an engineer. I'm sure the concepts that it builds on aren't new, but they were new to me when I first started using Redux and I now spend a lot of time thinking the way Redux taught (or forced) me to think.
Thanks so much!
I also dabble with elisp a bit and that fits in nicely here too. For instance, I wrote a really simple command to "mark this todo as done and move it to the bottom of this list".
There’s a sample file you can play around with there if you’re not ready to link to a sync backend yet.
Happy to answer any questions!
