Re:Show HN: Editxr – open-source WYSIWYG Markdown editor for the terminal

Love this. The in-place rendering (instead of a split preview) is exactly the kind of terminal Markdown tool I've been wanting. thanks for sharing!
Show HN: Snapdom V2 Beta – Capture and modify DOM to multiple formats on-the-fly
From frustration to open source adoption: my journey building SnapDOM
I started hacking on what later became SnapDOM in April this year. At first it wasn’t even meant to be a standalone library — it began as an internal tool for a zoomable UI project (Zumly), I was building. To make that project work, I needed a way to capture DOM elements with high speed and fidelity. Existing DOM-to-image libraries like html2canvas often failed in subtle but important ways:...

Thank you! When I made the project public, I posted it here with Show HN tag, and it went pretty well, with many encouraging comments. I especially liked your point about not worrying about things you can't control. But something is difficult to know what you can control and what you can't.

Ask HN: How to deal with the anxiety of promoting your own open-source project?
I've been working on a project for months, and now that it's publicly available, I'm feeling overwhelmed by the thought of self-promotion. I'm worried about being perceived as spammy or that my project won't be well-received. I'm also constantly checking how many visitors I have or how many stars I've received.For this project, I tried to manage my expectations, but anyway, I feel horrible. How...

I was hesitant to develop custom elements at first because I wanted to use just CSS classes and custom variables. However, in certain cases, the developer experience is a mess without using custom elements. About your question, yes, I would make custom element alternatives.

Pretty awesome your pie menu!
I believe that "satellites" have pointer-events set to none by default. I would think in some solution, maybe adding a CSS utility to change that in case is needed
I've just merged your PR thank you!!

I must confess that I don't have any experience in graphic design. I actually used existing examples that I thought were well-designed and tried to recreate them using Orbit to see if it was possible.

Glad you like it! Several years ago, I wrote my first project, Zircle UI, which mixed zoomable navigation with circular UI. It was not flexible at all, but I enjoyed it and learned a lot from this experience. Then, I decided to split Zircle into two independent parts: Orbit for radial UI (I mean, not constrained to circular shapes), and Zumly, a JS zoomable WIP engine (https://github.com/zumerlab/zumly). While you can use both projects together, they can also be used independently

Hello HN,
After a long time working on this project, I'm finally ready to share the first public version of Orbit. Although there's still much to be done, I believe this project is ready to move beyond internal testing.
Orbit is a CSS framework that lets you create simple or complex radial designs and UIs, from pie charts to radial menus, and even fully radial pages.
Orbit is designed to be simple, extensible and compatible with other tools and frameworks, using space-related concepts.
To see Orbit in action, check out the landing page, which is built with Orbit. You can also find additional examples here https://zumerlab.github.io/orbit-docs/examples/.
I hope you like it and I'd love to hear your thoughts and feedback.
Thanks! Martin

I grew tired of constantly configuring development tools like ESLint, Jest, Prettier and others. For my personal projects, I've packaged some of them with preset settings and developed others. Each tool can be used independently based on your workflow, providing a dev workflow for small projects. I’d like to share these resources with others who might find them useful.
