malloc-0x90on Email client TUI with messenger-like layout UI

What if DeltaChat and mutt had a child? It's a single executable TUI without NodeJS, JavaScript, nor Docker. No installation required.

I made it for myself, i thought some of you may like it

malloc-0x90on Build an iOS app on Linux or Windows

Never built on Apple, last time I tried:

it asked me to update Xcode;

Xcode asked me to update the OS first;

and the OS asked me to buy a new 1300$€ MacBook hardware (with similar specs, the one I was using wasn't even that old/slow).

So to quote Rick and Morty i though: "That's just subscription with extra steps!" - and made a windows program and an Android app.

malloc-0x90on An unordered list of things I miss in Go

I am noob with Go, trying to learn it lately for more rapid development, and I'm coming from C.

I'm currently using LiteIDE, any good soul could suggest how what plugin to install in Zed, or Lapce, or Pulsar ?

(Unfortunately I refuse to use VS Codium because microsoft, and NeoVim because IBM CUA keybindings)

malloc-0x90on U++ – Cross-Platform App Development Framework

CodeTyphoon and U++ are 2 valid alternatives to LiteCode+wxWidgets.

You can cross-compile with all 3 of them, but most importantly, you will only see the advantages of using them in the long run (rather than Visual Studio)

It's hard to explain until you try yourself doing a big C# project, in the short term it seems so convenient and such a good idea (same as with Unity, or Embarcadero)

malloc-0x90on Fast and secure translation on your local machine with a GUI

I was looking for something like this since I found the awesome Firefox plugin, thank you!

malloc-0x90on Pandoc

I tried to use it to make an invoice system: wanted to convert plain-text CSV (description,amount,cost) --> to Markdown tables --> to PDF.

But I was unable to align the following 2nd table with taxes: cells are all over the place and it does whatever it wants. And there is no information online to be found about it.

(I eventually gave up long time ago and still to this day manually do them in LibreOffice Writer adding taxes with a calculator)

Except this, it's a really neat piece of FOSS software!

malloc-0x90on Guide to Adopting AV1 Encoding

malloc-0x90on Casio fx-CG50 calculator comes with Python built-in

User maven29 already mentioned the NumWorks open source calculator, and the new OS fork, but here is a video to better appreciate some of the features:

malloc-0x90on Harlequin: DuckDB IDE for the terminal

Same. Thousands text editors, but not a single IDE.

And they all get SO close, just give a look to SetEdit screenshots: https://setedit.sourceforge.net/

I don't know if it can be of any help for you, but at the moment on the terminal I mostly use:

- Tilde: https://github.com/gphalkes/tilde

- Textadept: https://github.com/orbitalquark/textadept

Or "Geany IDE" on desktop environment (while waiting for lapce.dev to get better), I tend to stay away as much as possible from VS Codium, but everyone else seems to love it and already forgot about Atom, few seems to realise how Microsoft really is.

Maybe the plot twist is that you have to accept in your heart that "writing text on anything, is the real IDE", and transcend to writing on nano!

malloc-0x90on micro – A Modern Alternative to nano

Tilde is faster for bigger files, and it runs and compile everywhere; TextAdept even has code folding.
