• Ask HN: Why did Visual Basic die?

  For anyone looking for a modern alternative to Visual Basic, you might want to take a look at Xojo. Xojo's a rapid application development platform (both a language and an IDE) that you can use to develop desktop apps (for macOS, Windows, Linux), Web apps, mobile apps (for iOS and Android), as well as console apps. It's been around for more than 20 years, and some of you might remember it from back when it was... - Source: Hacker News / 9 months ago

• Small Visual Basic

  I really recommend Xojo[1] (formally RealBasic). It’s like a modern VB6 but runs on macOS, Windows and many flavours of Linux. It has very polished drag and drop UI editor. I’ve been developing with it for over 20 years and my 10 year old daughter is now learning programming with it. You can create and debug apps for free and only need a license to deploy an app as a binary so it’s ideal to learn with. Heck, it... - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

• Do any of you code with/on steno?

  I have yet to get into actual programming, but when I do, it will probably be with the multi-platform programming environment called XoJo. Source: over 1 year ago

• Performance Improvements in .NET 6

  I've been using Xojo (https://xojo.com) for about 15 years now to make cross-platform GUI apps. The language is similar to VB6 but it's been constantly updated. No affiliation, just a happy customer. - Source: Hacker News / almost 3 years ago

• Anki – Powerful, intelligent flash cards

  Check out Mochi if you’re looking for an alternative. It probably ticks most of your boxes already. https://mochi.cards/. - Source: Hacker News / 4 months ago

• Anki – Powerful, intelligent flash cards

  No one has mentioned it yet, so I'll drop this alternative: https://mochi.cards/ Much prettier than Anki, has a simpler algorithm that doesn't require rating difficulty, and has lots of the same features. I'm a subscriber just because of the cloud sync - wish I could self-host but I'm happy to support the developer. - Source: Hacker News / 4 months ago

• WhisperSpeech – An Open Source text-to-speech system built by inverting Whisper

  Not OP, but I develop Mochi [0] which is a spaced repetition flash card app that has text-to-speech and a bunch of other stuff built in (transcription, dictionaries, etc.) that you might be interested in. [0] https://mochi.cards. - Source: Hacker News / 5 months ago

• How to Learn Fast

  You can try Mochi (not my site) if you don't like Anki. Source: 9 months ago

• Some notes on local-first development

  I built Mochi [0] from the ground up to be local first. The architecture is built around pouchdb for the local database which syncs to and from a remote couchdb database. It's been a challenge to implement and in hindsight I wonder if it was even worth it. Unfortunately neither of these technologies are very widely used any more (if they ever were). I am glad there is a lot of development and research in this area... - Source: Hacker News / 9 months ago
