@Aiswarya_Sankar Can you do the same for human written code/PR on similar lines to see whether this is relatively 'better' or 'worse'?

[Narayan Babu @nyn]

@Shpigford Damn! In the ender world, which is also good because its DIY mods and fittings. But bamboo is just breeze. No hassle, no setup, no head aches. It's like the Android vs Apple.

[Narayan Babu @nyn]

@joelbqz Just one small quirk. When I click on markdown 'tables'. It just collapses the entire formatting. maybe you can retain the rendering shape while editing ?

[Narayan Babu @nyn]

@joelbqz Been using for a while now. Love it! I also like the 'live editing' approach like obsidian, where I don't have to switch between edit/previww.

@ZaydenSaaSgtfs this is the most beautiful thing I have seen on the internet this month

[Narayan Babu @nyn]

@adjohu My eyes are burning.

[Narayan Babu @nyn]

@ZorrinVolodymyr Try it and share your thoughts :-)

I have always scrambled for a quick scratchpad for Mac, so I built this for myself. It is an 'always on', offline note/dicta pad which is non-intrusive and skips the entire window hierarchy. (Sort of like Spotlight).

@Shpigford oh god . You're moving fast!

[Narayan Babu @nyn]

@Shpigford Here is a PR for a WYSIWYG live editor for clearly, take a look at it when you get time.

@Shpigford Finally got some time to explore adding Live Preview (WYSIWYG) support for clearly. Need a bunch more work to make it 'delightful' and fast.

[Narayan Babu @nyn]

@signulll @Skye This looks super sick!! Can I get an invite

[Narayan Babu @nyn]

@PeterJThomson @linuz90 this is really good! Not the the WYSIYWG part, but the overall finesse and finish. I think I had stumbled on this repo when searching for a solution, I guess didn't explore further as I was looking for something which was Swift native.
I just tried it and amazing experience.

[Narayan Babu @nyn]

@Jakubantalik This is so lovely. What was this made in ?

[Narayan Babu @nyn]

@Shpigford I see that the preview is webview powered. I went down the same path and ended up in a diverging renders for editing and viewing.
We need a prosemirror/tiptap equivalent implementation where we don't need the 'split view' at all.

[Narayan Babu @nyn]

pretty cool take. try it out!

[rohildev @rohildev]

Dump - - - - - - - -> from anywhere, privately. You can now Dump from screenshots or any other app. Super simple.

[Narayan Babu @nyn]

@Shpigford Its a messy one. And with swift giving almost no out of the box components for markdown, this does take a lot work . is there an issue or note in the repo where i can take a look at and contribute?

[rohildev @rohildev]

Introducing Tap to Paste : a faster way to copy and paste text, links, images, and files into Dump.

Clicky from @FarzaTV is awesome, so I Dumped it into my memory.

[Narayan Babu @nyn]

@antoniolupetti This philosophy is also very close to my heart.

I always believe when you're able to build a product with a singular goal of user delight and not needing 'growth hacks' to increase some 'business metrics', we get the purest and most hearty outcomes.
Of course, it also requires the builder to have deep skill. This is one such example, I suppose.
