> HTML to awkward so you have to switch to webgl which is too low level or you might switch to svg

HTML is replaceable by WebGL which is replaceable by SVG?

> JavaScript that compiles down into typescript

JS compiles down to TS?

I am not sure if anything in this comment indicates you have any experience with developing for the web but that is not my primary issue with this comment. My gripe is claiming that things are "awkward" or can't be done without even looking around. None of the examples below use WebGL

Here's a WinXP UI clone that runs in your browser with floating, resizable windows. - https://winxp.vercel.app/

Here's one that mocks macOS - https://macos-web.app/

Google did make something like this: https://www.google.com/advanced_search

It has a lot of options, even allows you to search ONLY the Text/Title/URL and you can filter by usage right (free for personal/commercial use etc)

Interestingly it was last updated before material design was a thing. Maybe it's nostalgia but I love the design language of Google had before material injected padding everywhere.

This is likely very paranoid behaviour but I recommend downloading all your Google data from time to time: takeout.google.com

The devs behind tldraw also played with this to create something cool - https://twitter.com/steveruizok/status/1727625036159234555

As you mentioned you like Alfred, why did you choose to build a standalone app as opposed to an Alfred extension? Since you use Electron: spinning up a browser every time I need a quick-launch bar seems a little overkill.

Anyway, the UI looks very neat! Starred the repo and will try playing with it.

throwaway914, would you be willing to send over your drivers license for verification to participate on HN?

The very obvious loophole is that a teen could upload a picture of someone else to get an account made.

...and everyone uploading pictures of their kids would have to keep their drivers license handy.

Thank you!

All of OP's three posts point to the same developer. Just saying.

Fetches (and parses) a ~93kB JSON file every 3 seconds along with the threejs stuff. No wonder it refuses to load on my mid-range android phone.

Doesn't work on macOS for me. Huh.

Unable to reproduce this on Chrome 118. I just ended up with an untitled bookmark.

Still interesting to look at Chromium's source to see that they have unit tests for bookmarklets [1]. Also looks like people "frequently" report running JS from bookmarks as an XSS vulnerability [2]

For anyone wondering if there is any subgenre that he seems to not vehemently dislike, French House seems to have a surprisingly charitable description.

It's there if you punch in "Electronica" in the searchbox.

> 'Electronica' does not exist. Not as a genre or a description. It was coined by the North American music press to refer to the second wave of electronic music's explosion in the late 90s.

Nearly every popular act of the period -- Daft Punk, Moby, Fatboy Slim, Prodigy, Chemical Brothers, Basement Jaxx, Tricky -- were marketed as 'Electronica' at one time or another, but the person who really popularized it was Madonna and her shallow William Orbit-produced piss-poor attempt at appropriating trance music as something she invented (Ray of Light). But there really isn't any actual thing called Electronica. It's just a corporate buzzword.

This is a PSA from the official Electronic Music Genre Standards and Classifications Consortium.

Had no idea this existed and I'm grateful I came across this today. Clicked around a bit to see which Aphex Twin tracks were chosen — Xtal is there! Funny how typing "deadmau5" in the searchbar just returns "Who?". Reading the Info Panel for 8th Note Prog explains why that might be the case.

Loved reading through the Info Panels and the FAQs but the UI is a bit clunky to work with. Is there an official dataset? Would love to try my hand at building a different UI around it.
