This will never take off with that awful logo and mascot, and general silliness. With the "developed by Framasoft", like who the f* cares. It's noise, it looks awful, it repels potential users. Get some serious marketing person in.

The whole business model of living off of App stores, controlled by tech giants, is flawed, and no sane person should ever make this their sole source of income. It's like being held hostage.

Re:Reflex – Web apps in pure Python on Wednesday August 02, 2023 @02:28PM (#36974902)
Why wouldn't it say nowhere (README, the website) what does it actually do and how? It's all marketing bullshit such as: Get up and running in seconds! Build web apps in minutes. Deploy with a single command. Build anything, faster. Create your whole app in a single language. Don't worry about writing APIs to connect your frontend and backend.

This kind of shit might catch a manager's eye, not a developer's one.

Re:It's React, but in Python on Tuesday June 06, 2023 @07:07PM (#36220342)
This is cute, but it would be more helpful to have react-style GUI programming in python, with Qt (Quick or widgets) as the backend (instead of DOM).

It's not true that Python doesn't have anything akin to package.json scripts. Bonus points: all is executed within project's virtualenv.

Government and legislative failure. Just protect the seeds by disallowing any protection/patenting, for the public good, that's why we pay taxes.

Sure, but how will the MacBook hold when it's as old as your Dell?

bullshit ...

I recently tried Natron. I work on Linux/wayland. It was constantly crashing on me, I rebooted to Windows and tried the Windows version, it was crashing, and it was getting stuck a lot.

IMO Blender can do the same job and do it better.

What's with the obsession with S3 API? Why not FUSE and just use any programming language without libraries to access the files? (Obviously without some S3/FUSE layer, without HTTP, just direct access to garage with the fastest protocol possible)

Re:European alternatives for digital products on Monday December 20, 2021 @02:46PM (#29629239)
> So why does Europe have such hard time popping new software ventures

So what makes you think that "popping new software ventures" is a good thing for society? Isn't there enough software already? The problem is the mediocre quality of it, and decline (hello Adobe). Popping new software ventures is hardly a solution.

Absolutely NOT! It's waaay better to have huge multinational corporation dictate what's right and what's wrong and what's good and what's bad! And they do it for you my friend! For FREE!

Re:Collaborative Editing Options for Emacs on Monday August 23, 2021 @08:17PM (#28283719)
Yeah I just tried crdt.el and it works great, out of the box. I presume some issues would pop up with more intensive usage. It's a bit odd to host it wherever it is hosted now. Also, if qhong would solve the discovery problem, then this could be The Package for collaborative editing. I can imagine something along the lines of how magic wormhole works, or some publicly hosted DHT.
