A pen-tablet with a transflective display and a commodity OS is very compelling. I've been working for a few years on a "multimedia sketchpad"[0] application with a primarily grayscale UI that screams for a device like this. I imagine the browser port might already work acceptably, but perhaps I'll revisit a native Android port with the Daylight in mind...

As a young child with only the scarcest grasp of programming, I spent endless hours using ResEdit to crack open and customize every application on my mac. Every game and utility was filled with its own surprises; graphics I could edit, tables of strings to pore over, dialogs to rearrange, menus to customize, and so much more. I never had a manual, but everything was so straightforward and clear I learned... - Source: Hacker News / 5 months ago

If you want something like Shoes, perhaps try PySimpleGUI or Redlang's "view" dialect. If you want a drag-and-drop visual builder like HyperCard, you might like Decker: https://beyondloom.com/decker/. - Source: Hacker News / 7 months ago

> Pretty useful for archiving discussions on Reddit. What I do now is save the comments within the discussions (on HN, Reddit, Twitter etc) as text which is indexable and searchable with additional metadata which helps for filtering (author is the main one I use), while automatically archiving the entire URLs associated with them.[1] For me, this is the best of both worlds - quick access via fault-tolerant search... - Source: Hacker News / 3 days ago

Https://notado.app has had support for Tweets and multiple other types of UGC (like comments! From everywhere!) for a long time now. I am the main developer and you can look at my comment history here for more details on the philosophy behind the project. You can also check out some of my feeds of saved content[1] to get an idea of the breadth of support for UGC. There are some articles available too if you don't... - Source: Hacker News / 8 days ago

Your initial want is pretty close to I ended up creating for myself for all things text-based with https://notado.app. I ended up ditching my old stuff in Instapaper, Readwise and Pinboard back in 2020ish because it didn't really fit the data model[1] (content-first rather than link-first) and since then I'm very happy with how everything is organized and shareable in Notado. I still think it's possible to go... - Source: Hacker News / 3 months ago

Reminds me of my own approach of RINORIN (read it now or read it never) which I've written about on HN before and led me to cancel all my RIL app subscriptions and create https://notado.app instead. - Source: Hacker News / 4 months ago
