Re:Show HN: Livetext – stream text to your audience on Friday October 29, 2021 @07:47AM (#29037387)
Hello fellow HN crowd :) As part of my day job, I often do tech workshops & talks. I made livetext to share code and other text snippets with my participants in real time. Code, links, quotes, images - basically anything that can be expressed with Markdown.

During my talks, I often interactively write code snippets, using input from the participants. At the same time, I want to make sure they can always can copy-paste the code and not just look at it all the time.

Of course, I could have used live coding tools like repl.it for the coding part. But I wanted it to look more like a scratchpad with formatting support than an actual coding environment.

Regarding the tech stack: TypeScript (Backend: Express, Frontend: Vanilla JS, bundled with Parcel), MVP.css as lightweight CSS framework, socket.io for client-server communication, Codemirror 6 as code editor, markdown-it for Markdown rendering. The project is hosted on fly.io.

Hope this is useful for other, too! I am looking forward to your thoughts & feedback!

I’ve been working on this Google Slides productivity add-on as a side project: https://powerpack.21solutions.de/

The idea is to spend less time tweaking your Google Slides - PowerPack makes positioning & alignment easier, finding licensed images & icons, and checking the consistency of the presentation. Inspired by similar add-ons for PowerPoint, like think-cell and empower slides.

Quite hard to find the time besides a demanding full-time job, but it’s slowly getting better and better... :)

I wrote a blog post on my most-used shortcuts in JetBrains' IDEs (=> also PHPStorm), maybe this is useful for you as well. It was discussed here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22925484

The Eszett (ß) has been already standardized for several decades (since 1986: with ISO 8859-1 aka latin-1).

The newly added letter is the "capital letter Eszett", which did not exist until recently. One could argue that this new letter is not really needed, as Eszett does not appear in capitalized form except when a word is in all-caps, and was then simply written as "SS".

Hey all! Two of my friends are moving from London to Munich. So I made a small compilation of things that should make the move easier.

Just wanted to share it with you and get some feedback!

GitHub provides a way for more granular third-party access: GitHub Apps. There, access can be set on a repository level [1]. E.g. Netlify can be configured as a GitHub app.

It seems like Docker Hub is implemented as an OAuth app [2], where these granular options are not available and you have to grant access to all your repositories.

Re:GitHub – Open Source Messenger App for Android on Thursday February 07, 2019 @03:00AM (#19103765)
@mods: Please remove "GitHub" from the title (probably replace it by "Mesibo"). The title implies that this is a messenger by GitHub, which is not the case.

After reading the documentation for 15 minutes, I still don’t fully understand what your framework can actually do and why one should use it.

I had a lot of trouble understanding your example code. In your framework, everything is built upon the m$, _$, and $ objects (or is the $ actual jQuery and not part of your library?). Maybe, instead of starting by showing us much code, you should explain what these symbols can do and what the most important methods on them are. Just by looking at your code, I could not create a mental model of what each of these symbols is capable of. Without this explanation, it seems a bit like magic.

Can’t you just activate the iOS system emoji keyboard and use that? Won’t work for custom Discord emojis though.
The distributor will only take the empty ones that resemble the type he delivers => this is a supply chain.

That’s why you can’t just return any type of reusable bottles at a store, but just the ones it is also selling.

When you look at https://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:Z2wGsh... (Google Webcache from 25th March), there was a donation button on the "Why" page, but it seems to have been removed now. Not sure why though...
