dteiml··on Nyxt: The Hacker's Browser
Looking forward to the MacOs version! I'm currently using Vivaldi and it frustrates me on a daily basis how unfeatureful, unextendable and buggy it is.

My ideal browser would be

- chromium-based [optional] - willing to forgo this if (1) it has a lot of features built-in, or (2) it is extendable in a language like `lua`.

- tree view of tabs

- vim keybindings

- splits, moving windows to new tabs and back

- file-based configuration

- [optional] history sync (i'm fine with using my own cloud provider like icloud/dropbox)

- renaming tabs and windows

- remote control server (so i can interact with it from hammerspoon/alfred, eg: open the tab that is a local file with .pdf extension and refresh it (for asciidoctor/latex development))

- pdf preview

- adblocker

- redirecting urls, eg reddit.com -> old.reddit.com

- automatic dark mode

- modifying js and css of websites (eg removing toolbar on SO)

- command line

- smooth scrolling

- [optional] chromium print preview

- [optional] reader mode

- [optional] vim mode for text input

- [optional] easy integration with text-to-speech that is keyboard controlled

Cool app! Are you planning a CLI? I particularly like so (https://github.com/samtay/so)
dteiml··on Show HN: A new search engine UX I've been working on in my free time
It would be great to add Udemy and Coursera (and other edtech platforms). I had an idea about a search engine that would open Youtube, Udemy, ... and that way allow you to find learning resources really simply a few years ago :-)
dteiml··on Facebook account now required to login to Oculus devices
The problem with block chain is it requires the whole stack be on chain (at least if it is to be referenced in a contract). If that's the case, then you can definitely do this. E.g. a smart contract that represents the login functionality and you can hard-code it has to be some other immutable contract, and can't be changed to FB login.

On second thought, the whole issue is weird because blockchain doesn't have a login concept.

dteiml··on Apple’s Covid-19 Response
Wouldn't it be more like $15? Apple's operating income in 2019 was 63k M, so if you remove the M's you get $15.
dteiml··on Show HN: TeXMe Demo – Self-Rendering Markdown and LaTeX Documents
This looks cool, even cooler than TexMe! Was going to start writing a Project brief today, looks like I'm using Markdeep!
dteiml··on Active Oberon Language Report Update 2019
I was taught this language in 1st year of Oxford CS course. While I thought it's a dead language at the time, I'm glad to hear I was wrong ;)
dteiml··on Show HN: I categorized 13000 books and built a recommendation engine for them
Hi, this is Dom, the starter of Amos.

The plan is definitely more than just books. We want to be the best recommendation engine for online learning resources - podcasts, videos, courses, stack overflow questions... Check out https://github.com/amosapp/amos/issues/2 for the current roadmap

When I say we - I'm actually working on the project alone. And I'm looking for cofounders! Lemme know if you'd like to work on this project too!

I'm organizing a launch party this evening. All you need is a Zoom client. Come join us at this link https://zoom.us/j/381352856! (BYOB ;)

Finally, let me say the whole project (code & content) is in the public domain. Check out www.solvio.org for the grander vision. Sorry for all the links and let's change the world!

dteiml··on Talent is everywhere, opportunity is not
Isn't Peter Thiel doing that with the Thiel Grants? Pretty successful so far (projects Ethereum, Aragorn... founded by grantees).
dteiml··on Ask HN: What is your money-making side project outside programming?
Tutoring. Not anymore but back in the day. It also inspired me to kick off the project www.solvio.org
dteiml··on Show HN: WriteFreely – minimalist, federated blogging platform
Is there an easy way to write Latex (e.g. with MathJax or Katex)? That is for me the most wanted feature of Medium (my intuition is they won't be adding it any time soon).
