I bought one of these last year, specifically looking for a modern take on the netbook form factor. I run PopOS on mine and absolutely love the machine. It’s a perfect travel laptop and it has largely replaced the iPad mini that I previously used as my travel companion. I sometimes use it with XReal glasses, which is great. I’ve found that a 35 watt phone charger is sufficient to charge it over USB C, so I don’t even need to carry a laptop-class charging brick.

I will note that I also had the screen rotation issue described in the post, but it was easy to solve at the desktop environment level in COSMIC. I didn’t bother dealing with it elsewhere because I honestly don’t mind if the grub menu is sideways.

The complaints about the keyboard sound more significant than the screen.

Yes, I’d be wary of going anywhere near this for that reason alone. You can’t just say “the keyboard is terrible” but then that you still like it overall -- more detail needed!

Yeah, in particular it looks like the complaint was about having to hit the center of the keys exactly, which seems quite bad.

I’ll learn a weird layout for a netbook, some compromise is expected to get the small size (side note: I think “unfamiliar layout” issues are over-represented in reviews because they usually describe the reviewer’s experience when they are first getting used to the device, I get used to a layout in the medium term anyway and then it isn’t really a problem anymore (side side note: we should separate out the concepts of unfamiliar and bad layouts, they are different things, the former is overcome over time, the latter gives you repetitive stain injuries over time)).

Having the nail the keys in the middle, though, is just a sign of poor keyboard design. That probably won’t be overcome, if anything it is a sign of bad build quality and will probably get worse over time.

I've wanted to see a good, production-quality open source take on this editing paradigm for a long time and your implementation appears to get a lot of things right. I took a crack at this myself a few years ago but never got around to really getting it over the line: https://github.com/segphault/codemirror-rich-markdoc

Your wysiwyg support for tables is very nice, but I couldn't quite figure out how to delete a row. The checkboxes are also a little fiddly, it would be nice if the checkbox turned into editable text when the cursor moves next to it. Does Atomic Editor work with vim bindings via replit's CM6 vim plugin?

Props for building this and sharing it, I hope you stick with it.

Anthropic uses Stainless Docs for the API reference. It’s a custom integration that embeds the Stainless Docs react components directly in the Claude dashboard application.

(I worked on the Stainless Docs product at Stainless and implemented support for Anthropic’s embedding use case)

It's bad enough that Microsoft doesn't have a satisfying answer to this question, but what makes it worse is that WinUI feels weirdly non-native in ways that sort of uncomfortably result in Electron apps feeling more like real Windows applications.

It's worth noting though that Apple is on a similar trajectory and is now in a very nearly as bad position given all the serious issues with SwiftUI and how badly it has fragmented/degraded Mac desktop application development.

It's almost like the major desktop platform vendors have all given up on supporting high-quality native desktop applications.

> It's worth noting though that Apple is on a similar trajectory and is now in a very nearly as bad position given all the serious issues with SwiftUI and how badly it has fragmented/degraded Mac desktop application development.

Apple (and Next before it) have been iterating on Appkit/UIKit for three and a half decades.

Now they have added SwiftUI as a second option and have been iterating on it for a bit over half a decade.

This is in no way similar to Microsoft creating and abandoning another UI framework every couple of years.

If Microsoft had been steadily improving Win32 all these years, where would it be today?

This was my most-wanted Obsidian feature, so I’m thrilled to see this. It’s going to be great for server-side automation and RAG against Obsidian vaults.

Github does publish their spec: https://github.github.com/gfm/ The CommonMark spec is largely based on it.

What? The window manger and the panel (plasmashell) are separate processes in a Plasma desktop. In Sway, users typically choose from a range of totally separate applications like swaybar or quickshell for the panel. There’s absolutely no reason the panel has to be coupled with the compositor under Wayland and nobody actually does it that way that I’ve seen.

I've attempted to switch to Orion on iOS a few times in the past and could never quite stick with it due to reliability issues. I'm giving it another try now to see if this 1.0 release gets it over that hurdle. Vivaldi is still a lot more polished than Orion on mobile, but Orion's support for Chrome extensions is a pretty compelling feature. I'm a very happy Kagi search user, so I'm rooting for them to succeed here.

We rewrote a large part of the code to make it more reliable and faster. I suggest downloading version 1.4, which just came out, to see for yourself (even if a few fixes related to Liquid Glass still need to be fixed ... by Apple). https://apps.apple.com/us/app/orion-browser-by-kagi/id148449...

I see this sentiment expressed often here, but I have never experienced a single issue using Orion on iOS. I've been using it for 3-4 months now. With uBlock Origin it actually makes it possible to use the web on iOS.

It's the only browser I remember crashing (not a page, the app itself) from time to time and has a few less critical ones. Like the latest version made it impossible to view what you type in a url field untill a few restarts made it just have the wrong position with the keyboard visible

But also, what ublock origin??? It doesn't work on iOS even if you can install it, are you not mixing it up with their internal adblocker or something else? Just checked and disabled all images, works on a desktop, fails in Orion ios, images are still visible

It doesn’t lose the tabs at the end of the tab list, for you? Tabs just disappearing after being opened is a daily issue, for me.

I often see the inverse of this - tabs I've closed spontaneously reappear in later sessions. Wish they would put a little more polish into the iOS version, but for lack of better alternatives, I still use it.

I have nearly 1000 tabs open in Orion on my iPhone and have never had this happen. If they were falling off the front of the list I'd still notice the count going down.

I never have more than a few tabs open, so I don't see that.

this is a macOS release, ios is already past 1, it's 1.4.0 Though I've made the mistake of updating it following this announcement, and now I couldn't even type the url since the url bar didn't jump up to be on top of a keyboard. After a few restarts it does jump up, but it's still positioned incorrectly, either too high or too low depending on the keyboard So yea, unfortunately, not reliable yet...

I switched to Fastmail when I degoogled, and I've been very happy with it. I genuinely feel that its UX and feature set are better than what I was getting from GMail.

Yes, there is a mod for Hollow Knight called Benchwarp that lets you place benches wherever you want and fast travel between them.
