I've wanted exactly-this for years. I've sketched a few versions but it stayed on the back-burner for me, partly because friends/etc didn't see the appeal.
> The library bundles WordNet (using Oliver Steele's PyWordNet), NLTK, Damian Conway's pluralisation rules, Bermi Ferrer's singularization rules, Jason Wiener's Brill tagger, several algorithms adopted from Michael Granger's Ruby Linguistics module, John Wiseman's implementation of the Regressive Imagery Dictionary, Charles K. Ogden's list of basic English words, and Peter Norvig's spelling corrector.
It was in college and I was learning to code as I went (I was a humanities/lit major). I was using NLTK and some other libraries, piece-wise, but NodeBox Linguistics bundled libraries I couldn't get working/installing right at the time. (I could not afford a Mac so I was working in a Linux VM. Although its GUI is Mac-only, the NodeBox libraries aren't Mac-only. Just noting that for passers-by.)
NodeBox Linguistics proved to be critical-path to the project. And that project was formative for me, so it gives me the warm-fuzzies to encounter NodeBox again. Thank you for sharing it! I should join the forum...

In a Chrome browser on desktop, you can right click and "Copy Link to Highlighted Text". That's the context (hah, pun) where I know it from. It's really useful!
Thank you for posting those two, I wanted to post them but I don't comment often. Wanted to chip in another contemporary: edelvalle/reactor, which is inspired by LiveView[0].
I am using Hotwire for a project, and I'm learning Elixir and Phoenix on the side. Finding edelvalle/reactor was immediately helpful to me though, because I cut my teeth on Python/Django, so reading a Python reference implementation helps me learn nuts and bolts of libraries, faster. (so, I figure that this might help someone else grok how these approaches work.)
GitSense seems very useful. Constructive feedback about the UI: replace the (straggler?) serif font with the sans serif font you're using elsewhere on the page
Agreed. I really detest how the word "democratize" got buzzed to death. It's become a zombie marketing term, and it wraps familiar ideology with vague associations of a rallying cry. Better phrasing maybe: it's a zombie marketing term that became a persistent and damaging bit of propaganda/ ideological meme.
Anybody here remember Beyond the Mind's Eye etc? (Some of the same clips were used in Lawnmower Man). I found a VHS of it at a Good Will. Made a music video chopping it up (2011):

Other retro nostalgia things: I did a lil track w/ Julian Wass where we sampled MIDI and speech from Dark Seed (old point and click DOS game that oddly had art direction by H.R. Geiger). We had more planned but I'm glad we made this one. https://cyberdreams.bandcamp.com/
Also, the last track on that Tunnel Visions album is based on a sample from Star Tropics, if anyone remembers that game :)
I've been stealthy since ~2015. I'm still making stuff, so I have a big backlog. Which is a fun problem to have. Once I get a business off the ground... then I'm gonna start releasing stuff again. (New project(s).)
I got into beatmaking in 7th grade with FL Studio FKA Fruity Loops. In college, it was actually a Max/MSP class that motivated me to learn code. </waxing-nostalgic>
p.s. I've always wanted to make soundtracks for indie games. If anybody's looking, LMK. I have a lot of stuff in the backlog that I could take in that direction.
Thank you for sharing this stack! I'm a Pythonista at heart, recently was trying RxDB + TypeScript, and I was thinking hmm I'll bet I could do something with postgres and Pydantic.
And I am very, very pissed off at the neglect of Google Classroom's UI. I wish they had (and would still) stay out of education, it's so irresponsible to half-ass it like they have.
Google Classroom's UI problems have got to be negatively impacting kids' schooling. It's unethical.
Comparing to a $GOOG tablet would raise privacy questions pretty quickly, I think
This isn't an A vs B thing to me, it's just that comparing to an ipad says something to a lot of users, and quickly. If this project succeeds, it will give some alternatives to closed-ecosystem things, to new/other people (with a cheaper cost to them). So the reservations about Apple are actually reasons to support this project, in that way. Thoughts?
It's great to give feedback, it's also good to remember: not every distro (or project, in general) is trying to court every user or every audience. To me that's the beauty of FOSS, it's open ended.
- On a large file, or in a slow project, put the Inspection Level down a notch. (You can get to it from the Actions keyboard shortcut.) You can nudge it back up, including for whatever big file -- when needed.
- Install the plug-in "Automatic Power Saver," which does that automatically upon loss of focus. (Well, maybe down two notches?) I do notice the switch/transition sometimes but it makes my overall session so much smoother (mainly because browser and IDE aren't being slower than their combined slowness)
p.s. I've been dealing with JetBrains IDEs' slowness for 5+ years, have done the same workarounds you mentioned etc. I always have another fast editor set up, lately VS Code. For quick edits etc. I had a coworker who would use their JetBrains IDE only for the last stretch of their branch or ticket -- to get the inspections and other tools. I supposed I picked this up from them.
I've wanted exactly-this for years. I've sketched a few versions but it stayed on the back-burner for me, partly because friends/etc didn't see the appeal.
I'm really excited to try it out.
