• A feature-rich front-end drag-and-drop component library

  Maybe I'm easy to impress, but I always stop and play around with the nested tree example when I come across Sortable. It works so flawlessly, and feels very tuned to mobile dnd. It even works to arrange (and reflow) inline spans in a paragraph! I have yet to come across this functionality in a text editor..

• Parquet-WASM: Rust-based WebAssembly bindings to read and write Parquet data

  Arrow JS is just ArrayBuffers underneath. You do want to amortize some operations to avoid unnecessary conversions. I.e. Arrow JS stores strings as UTF-8, but native JS strings are UTF-16 I believe. Arrow is especially powerful across the WASM <--> JS boundary! In fact, I wrote a library to interpret Arrow from Wasm memory into JS without any copies [0]. (Motivating blog post [1]) [0]:... - Source: Hacker News / 8 days ago

• A flat map with the least error possible: The Gott-Goldberg-Vanderbei projection

  Here’s the D3 implementation (which is just an interrupted azimuthal equidistant projection): https://observablehq.com/@d3/azimuthal-equidistant-hemispheres. - Source: Hacker News / 9 days ago

• Hardest Problem in Computer Science: Centering Things

  I made a quick tool to apply the trick he suggests at the end of the article: https://observablehq.com/@gampleman/font-centering-tool. - Source: Hacker News / 13 days ago

• Zooming User Interface (ZUI)

  There is maybe some room for design too (Figma), but there are many times I wish it DIDN'T do that and encouraged better frame/file organization instead. ------- It can also be useful for some visualizations, like taxonomy: https://itol.embl.de/itol.cgi or https://www.onezoom.org/life.html "Drill down for details" like in disk space analysis: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BKClylmlv3w&t=1s (or similar one in D3:... - Source: Hacker News / 15 days ago

• Bitwig and Presonus launch open DAWproject format

  One thing I'd like to see is native support for some notion of pitch other than 12-tone equal temperament. Looking at their example, I see this: ...which looks like it's basically just a representation of the underlying midi. One way they could represent other pitches is for "key" to allow a floating point value rather... - Source: Hacker News / 7 months ago

• How to get Index.htm to run?

  If it hasn’t already been said, “.htm” is not correct. For a proper index file to communicate a hyper text transfer protocol, you should be using “.html”. There are a few ways to view your site. One is through GitHub using their .io viewer (https://htmlpreview.github.io) and the other is just to open it from your desktop via your browser of choice. As someone here already stated, you can also use GitHub pages to... Source: about 1 year ago

• Ask HN: Those making $0/month or less on side projects – Show and tell

  PeaceFounder: https://peacefounder.org For the past few years, I have been exploring the idea of building an e-voting system around the anonymisation of voters rather than votes. In contrast to existing systems, the design enables the publication of all election evidence, verifying the legitimacy of the votes without sacrificing either privacy or transparency. It does all complex ElGamal re-encryption mixing... - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

• Show HN: A new way to do footnotes

  I can’t see what this offers over pandoc markdown or it’s successor: https://htmlpreview.github.io/?https://github.com/jgm/djot/blob/master/doc/syntax.html#footnote-reference. - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

• We Should Have Markdown Rendered Websites

  For a static document markup language, Djot does a rather good job: https://github.com/jgm/djot It's similar yet much fuller-featured than commonmark, with support for definition lists, footnotes, tables, several new kinds of inline formatting (insert, delete, highlight, superscript, subscript), math, smart punctuation, attributes that can be applied to any element, and generic containers for block-level,... - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago
