Fighting racism and fighting for human rights is something that happens to be important when your focus is not only making profit

The only big thing missing now is a three pane view: there is this 17 (!) years bug on the topic, and hopefully somebody will pick it up soon (Before you say it, I know that I could contribute myself but I do not think my skills are up this particular task)
I really like LibreOffice and I try to push its usage where I can, but reading about a potentially risky development strategy in such a messy way makes me wonder if it has been thought out so well or it is a muddy idea reflected in unclear writing.
I use Keepass2Android, which works great with Nextcloud and handles very well offline usage and subsequent merge of the database. On iOS the experience is much worse: I use KeePassium but it does not connect natively to Nextcloud, so I use BoxCryptor for that. The downside is that if Nextcloud is unreachable, I cannot see my saved passwords. Anyone managed to have a good experience on iOS?
Antora is quite nice and writing documentation in AsciiDoc was very enjoyable, but it was very clear how the JS implementation of AsciiDoctor was not on par with the Ruby one. We had multiple cases where the JS version would handle documents differently, or support a different feature set than the asciidoctor-cli. Moreover, the build times for the portal were extremely long (like 20-30 minutes for ~100 pages)
To write documents we all used VS Code + the Firefox/Chrome ASciDoctor preview plugin, and that worked much better than AsciiDocFx.
Going back I would probably suggest to look into other platforms, as the benefits of AsciiDoc are smaller than the amount of tooling frustrations.
PySimpleGUI is indeed simple and quick, not very elegant but useful for small utilities.
Are there similar ideas/libraries implemented in JS/TS as well?
I am quite drawn by these ideas, as they remove some overhead in making a fronted+backed application and somewhat bridge the productivity gap between a SSR solution such as Django or Rails, and a traditional server API + front end by allowing a fully integrated development and automatic but safe API generation
The Dietmar Winkler’s MIT Posters are a nice discovery -> https://artvee.com/collection/dietmar-winklers-mit-posters/
It has type checked queries in plain SQL (based on SQLite syntax), compile time consistency checks, autocomplete, schema migrations, and more. The normal queries have all the guarantees, but in case you might want to use some vendor specific features, it also has the option of vendor queries.
Very very cool library.
No JS would have been nice, but ended up making the content draw and re-flow in JS as I wanted to keep the aspect ratio of the thumbnails instead of showing a bunch of squares, for which a simple flexbox would have been enough.
I still have to write a decent README
I find it much superior wrt Gnome, but that's a matter of preferences of course.
1. Cooking causes awe in Dutch people 2. Eating healthy is cheaper that eating out, and easier that many may think.
BTW, you Dutch guys should stop putting butter on everything, eating hagelslag by the ton, and drinking yogurt instead of water. It might be cheap, but terribly unhealthy :).
Now, I understand how it might be desirable to NOT having to use Babel to run code, especially on Node. On the other hand, some amount of transpilation has become inevitable for js in the browser and I don't see this need going away soon, as JS evolves much quicker than browser adoption.
Is windows a supported platform?
The website is all in Dutch, but you can probably get the gist of it (I live in the NL but don't speak Dutch, but their mission is quite clear).
