> Like, you could just pull the latest Firefox dev container and run a single command to have a running debuggable app.

https://janitor.technology/ is attempting to provide a web-based version of this. Haven't yet used it myself, but it sounds promising.

FWIW, there's a `brew` fork for linux: https://github.com/Linuxbrew/brew

It's not especially useful in this case as ffmpeg is available in linux package managers, but it's handy for tools that aren't.

More generally, here's one of the best discussions of distributed issue tracking I've found (dated 2013): http://travisbrown.ca/blog.html#TooMuchAboutDistributedBugTr...

From a "devil's advocate" perspective, it's a relatively simple way to keep people from burning through the rate limit by submitting loads of usernames. Of course, if checking whether a user has starred the repo counts towards the limit, it doesn't solve the problem entirely...

I used it and immediately unstarred.

Judging from the source (viewable with Chrome extension source viewer [1]), it's POSTing the IPA text to https://www.ipaaudio.click/audio as the `ipa` key of a JSON object, the server does the heavy lifting and sends back an audio buffer, which the extension sends to a WebAudio context.

It'd be neat to know what exactly the server is doing, though.

You can use Chrome Store Foxified [1] to install the extension in Firefox. I just tried it, but I'm getting a `TypeError: NetworkError when attempting to fetch resource.`

You can have git diff/blame/etc ignore stylistic changes by configuring prettier as a textconv [1]. I'm building a `git diff` wrapper that does this for you [2].

Unfortunately, it doesn't. From https://github.com/tabulapdf/tabula:

> Caveat: Tabula only works on text-based PDFs, not scanned documents. If you can click-and-drag to select text in your table in a PDF viewer (even if the output is disorganized trash), then your PDF is text-based and Tabula should work.

You can use `npm run env bin-cmd` for that. It's not as convenient as `npm exec bin-cmd` would be, but it might be easier to type than `$(npm bin)/bin-cmd`.
