• Claude Desktop spins up a VM without no way of stopping it

  MapBox[0] does a good job. I don’t think it has a public interface, though. It’s really a developer resource. [0] https://mapbox.com. - Source: Hacker News / 26 days ago

• Ask HN: Side project of more that $2k monthly revenue what's your project?

  Yeah domain knowledge/network is definitely needed, I am working with a friend who has that, it's a must in this field because it's almost set in the stone age. Google maps was crazy expensive I went with Mapbox[1] for now which seems to have enough features and is less expensive. [1] https://mapbox.com/. - Source: Hacker News / about 3 years ago

• NEXT VALLEY - A single-screen Windows theme for KLWP [Sharing the whole damn thing]

  The location and weather panel has a live map displayed. Well, it won't for you, unless you grab a free API key from mapbox.com and paste it in the 1st global. Source: over 3 years ago

• QGIS in PowerBI

  If you want to show polygons it is a bit more difficult. With the above map functions you can create a Choropleth map by using predefined regions (like countries, states etc.). But for custom polygons it won't work. You can either use ArcGIS Online in combination with the ArcGIS Maps for Power BI viz or use the Mapbox Visual function (you need to install this one first by pressing "Get more visuals"). You can...

• Breaking the WASM/JS communication performance barrier

  > I see. It's a new rendering engine, not "Blink/WebKit/etc." Correct > Am I right that WebKit does not support what you and I are discussing equivalent wise? Passing structs or "binary" events? I'm not sure. If I wanted to do this I'd probably look into https://ultralig.ht/ which is a commercial fork of webkit.

• Lightpanda: The headless browser designed for AI and automation

  Another browser in this space is https://ultralig.ht/, it's geared for in-game UI but I wonder how easy it would be to retool it for a similar use case. - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

• Verso – web browser built on top of the Servo web engine

  All mainstream web browsers are bloated and use a lot of resources. I am looking for a tiny lightweight web browser with good HTML5 support but without bloat for older computers. Servo, Ladybird and Ultralight (https://ultralig.ht) are promising. I even started developing Qt Ultralight Browser. - Source: Hacker News / almost 2 years ago

• Ode to the M1

  What I'd really like to see with CEF et al, is JS being dropped, in favor of directly controlling the DOM from the host language. Then we could, for example, write a Rust (or Kotlin, Zig, Haskell, etc) desktop application that simply directly manipulated the DOM, and had it rendered by a HTML+CSS layout engine. Folks could then write a React-like framework for that language (to help render & re-render the DOM in... - Source: Hacker News / almost 3 years ago

• Ode to the M1

  > I hope Electron/CEF die soon, and people get back to building applications that don't consume hundreds of megabytes of RAM to render a hello world. Web technologies are fine, but what we really need is some kind of lightweight browser which allows you to use HTML/CSS/JS, but with far lower memory usage. I found https://ultralig.ht/ which seems to be exactly what I am looking... - Source: Hacker News / almost 3 years ago
