Is there any reason why Github needs 99.99% uptime? You can continue working with your local repo.
As an example, Go build could fail anywhere if a dependency module from Github is not available.

"I would pay close attention to accessibility: forecasts would be in local languages..." There are many situations where somebody is interesting about the local weather but not speaking the local language. Why overwrite the users preferred language from the browser?

Running some of the samples feels like those old SGI Iris GL demos, but implemented with a way nicer and concise language. I'll try to port some of my old code from that era.

Produced a 151 characters long prompt in my current development directory. This is really a starship, but I'm a pedestrian.
Is there a way to override the CSS (on Chromium)? The body font and weight, Source Code Pro is far too thin and far too wide and gives me a headache (and has regularly turned me off AoC). I'd like to change it to `sans-serif`.
There are CLI tools to fetch and submit solutions. At least one of them allows you to download the puzzle description as markup: https://github.com/scarvalhojr/aoc-cli

Sorry for being so negative but why do people keep building these Actor frameworks for Rust? None of them get any usage.
This seems to be used at Meta: "Ractor had a session at RustConf’24 about how it’s used for distributed overload protection in Rust Thrift servers at Meta."

Is desktop on the roadmap? I use HeyNote (desktop) every day and the only feature I _really_ want is multiple notes. You added that, but I need desktop because of corporate rules.
If you have git, golang and bun/nodejs on your machine it works from localhost.
git clone git@github.com:kjk/edna.git
cd edna/server && go get && go build && cd ..
./server/server -build-local-prod
./server/server -run-local-prodKind of concerning this could turn into another toner ink situation
It works happily with a brush head without NFC. That was the first thing I tried with my new toothbrush.
