Re:Edit an SQLite database in your browser on Thursday October 29, 2026 @04:30PM (#50295426)
It doesn’t run in the browser.
Thanks - got this part but did you actually design all letters one by one, or did you just feed it with all the fonts you mentioned as inspiration and YOLO? Can’t imagine how to give feedback to the curves when they live in the code and are not visualised…
It is like saying Arial is the same as Verdana. These fonts are at a glance similar but different.
Hey, how did you designed the typeface using Python? Asking ad a designer who thought Python is a programming language…

The fact it takes time is not a trade-off. It is an actual design work.

It is a React-based OSS audio player I developed primarily for museums and tour guides as I am really close to this industry and i was trying to scratch my own itch. In practice, thanks to the flexible design and architecture, it can be used for any use-case where you need to deliver sequential audio. Would like to hear any feedback or connect with someone who would need a solution like this.

Is the state of the webdesign really in a point where people bluntly copy others work for commercial purposes and celebrate these acts on their blogs? I think the line is pretty clear here. I remember the old Dan Mall's article on this topic which is much more inspirational (and "correct"): https://medium.com/@danielmall/stealing-your-way-to-original...
Hey, I am outside of US so I can’t try but I am curious - website says it is offline, how come?
There is one issue: “normal locals” are usually not the best ones to walk you through their city. They never go sightseeing or to attractions meant for tourists. And tourists always want to see this top 10 things from the list. Majority don’t want to risk and go offbeat path when their resources are limited.
