This is like saying that LLMs are better at knowing the name of that one obscure API. It's not wrong, but it's also not the hard part about CSS

Wait until they hear how good dictionaries are at spelling.

I thought i was the only one! I did realize at some point that you can avoid it if you hover on the left or right of the main grid. Still very annoying though


If you follow the link on the sentence you quoted, the reason why is explained there


Open source presenter software. If you ever need to show something on screen, this will handle it for you. Useful for any events like concert, conference, camps, etc. You can also use it for things like digital signage.

Still a lot of features to be added, but it's already useful for simple use-cases.

I believe there's an art in choosing the right tools and frameworks. A big one i think is whether it solves a problem that no other tools have solved - rather than just an improvement.

React had that which I believe is the reason why they won. There are other "better" iteration after that but they don't inherently solve a big problem.


Thanks for this. Seems really useful since I'm building using Yjs + Postgres myself. Might save the day one of these days!


PowerSync has an article on using Postgres with Yjs (and perhaps look into Yrs, the Rust implementation, as well as other Rust crates like Loro and Automerge that are much faster) and they use a table in the database that stores the changes, is that what you are doing too [0]?

TheOpenPresenter - https://github.com/Vija02/TheOpenPresenter

A presentation software useful for Event Presenting, Digital Signage, Dashboards and more. Basically if you ever need to control a screen, we want to make that process easy. The core system handles all the boring detail like real time communication and media handling. Meanwhile, you can install plugins to handle specific things like playing video, displaying powerpoint, dashboards, etc.

Tech stack: Typescript, Node.js, React, PostgreSQL, GraphQL.

Need help: Code - The project is just a few months old. There's still a lot of grounds to cover. Main priority is to get one specific use-case to work really well. Then, to get the plugin API robust so that we can start developing more plugins without refactoring repeatedly.

Level: Intermediate - Advanced

I kept reading it as time travel for some reason


I'm developing something so that everyone can do this easily[0]. It's a plugin based presentation software. Real time connection through websocket.

So all you need to do is create a project and use a plugin(existing or your own) to generate your view. The plugin is flexible, so it could be a custom UI or uploading a HTML file for example.

Then, you can open a link on any machine like the e-ink display.

Open-source and self-hostable. But you can also use the online version I'm hosting.

It's still very new so things will break but I'm already using it in church and other meetings.

Every so often, I'd get a random bill from AWS totaling to a few cents. No idea where it comes from and it's not worth the non trivial effort to find out about it. Just another reason I avoid AWS unless necessary.


Same here. And I'm worried that one month that bill will suddenly be $20k because whatever was costing a few cents suddenly gets hit by some DDoS attack.

Or that my card will expire and AWS will send that $0.03 bill to collections and slap court fees on and send a bailiff.

Their whole setup seems intended to cause expensive mistakes.
