I’m not 100% confident I’ve understood the assignment, but I’ve been playing with a couple of app frameworks in rust that target the Web that might be of interest to you.

Dioxus - Reactive framework. Document markup is html with its own syntax, styling is CSS but all scripting is rust. Cross platform (web, android, ios [xcode required], linux, mac, windows) but using webviews for all of those, definitely Web first.

slint - Reactive framework again, has its own Domain Specific Language (DSL) for markup that’s not too distant from an html/css hybrid. Simple scripting can be done in the DSL but it also ties trivially into the rust side. This does its own rendering rather than generating html documents or using a webview, I believe even when targeting the web (via wasm).

Tauri - Gets brought up a lot when talking about web apps in rust, but I haven’t dug into it.

If looking into any of these sounds like the sort of thing you might be after, then I suggest having a scroll through AreWeGuiYet for other rust GUI frameworks. If I remember correctly, a significant fraction of those target web technologies, althought the filters on that website have never been all that useful.

This would fit in perfectly in Dr Suess’ Hop on pop

How many children died because Bill Gates lobbied for the Oxford Covid-19 vaccine to be patented?

Some of this is the fault of the design of Word. Even modern versions have direct formatting in the Home tab, to the left (chronologically “before” for people used to left-to-right paradigms) of the styles box. The styles box itself becomes rapidly less accessible if the window is not full sized.

If they moved direct formatting to a formatting tab, had a more focused concept of styles, and possibly repurposed some of the direct formatting buttons for quick style application, people would use them a lot more reliably without any training.

Paru started as a rewrite of Yay by the main developer

Partitioning is something I don’t mess with on the terminal. Last time I set up a new drive I used SystemRescueCD first just to use gParted before installing arch (manually)

What was your experience with Inkscape and Godot? I have those both installed from repo.

I’ve never felt the need to use flatpak at all on arch.

Check ArchLinux.org for news before you kick off an update. It’s got an RSS feed and a mailing list if that helps.

Read the Wiki, and turn to it first for any issues you have.

This one may be a special “me” problem, but if you’re manually interacting with wpa_supplicant, stop and go read the Networking page in the Wiki again.

Learn how to use journalctl (at least superficially) before something goes wrong.

Generally you want to restart after an update to the kernel or graphics drivers or things start degrading strangely.

What is “it”? Webmentions? Webmentions can be sent from anywhere, not just places you’re actively monitoring. They can be used for example to create a comments section on your blog which amalgamates comments from various syndication points.

That is, you post to your blog, you post a link to your blog post to twitter/Facebook/lemmy etc, and comments or replies from any of those can show up on your blog itself if you so choose.

IndieWeb in general and the h-entry and WebMentions specifically.

Collectively they promise a highly personalised web experience that maintains ownership of your own content while encouraging socialisation across platforms, while avoiding the sustainability and scale limitations of activitypub.

I also want to see XMPP/OMEMO have a comeback.

The deal breaker feature I’ve been waiting for is the ability to play daily podcasts first then serialised podcasts in order. I have this with Podcast Addict and it means I virtually never have to touch the app itself.

C99 has a proper boolean (_Bool), C23 makes true and false booleans (and properly gives _Bool the name bool without the macro)

Microsoft Frontpage?

Neat! I look forward to giving it a crack.

Are you aware of Waistline, and are there any points of differentiation you’re after?

There’s always package forwarding. I’m about to find out how bad an idea that is.

It does require a court order, but notably you do not need to be suspected of a crime.

Dont we have a right […] to not self incriminate?

Not that I’m aware of, but if you find otherwise, let me know!

They can compel you to reveal your password without a warrant but can’t touch your phone? Is that a state law?

The “solution” is buy their product.
