So we take a web browser and trim it down to only ever show a single <textarea> element you say? That's what I'm taking away from this. All the hard work for accessibility is already done then right?

I was saying if the goal is "text editor," the web platform is the wrong foundation entirely


There is absolutely such a thing as a web app. What else would you call Google Docs, MS Word and the like?


Google Docs is a program for Android written in java and compiled into dalvik/art byte code. MS Word is just a program for Windows, written C/C++.


Sometimes I wonder how people like this navigate real life with such strong opinions and trying to redefine common definitions.



I've used Claude with Ghidra MCP and had good success. It correctly identified and named MD5 functions, file IO functions, and the whole chain from a UI dialogue function. And when prompted it named all the interesting variables too.


I'm not sure you even need the MCP tbh, I just have Claude use pyghidra scripting.


I was working on adding better WASM support to ghidra, but now I can just point Claude to binaryen


Well, that's too bad; as the main developer of https://github.com/nneonneo/ghidra-wasm-plugin it would have been really nice to get better support for all the new features that have been added into the spec over the last few years.

I also think that, for larger projects, it's still useful to have real decompilation support; for example, Il2CppDumper works in tandem with ghidra-wasm-plugin to enable decompilation of Unity Il2Cpp projects, which are often enormous (100MB wasm files are not uncommon) and for which the symbols + types are invaluable.


I wonder, how many such interesting and universally beneficial developments did emergence of tools like Claude Code kill?


Oh they're a super weird unit for sure. But I do kinda like that it allows expressing both 100ths of an inch and 10ths of a millimetre as an integer. I wonder if they're a carryover from early versions of MS Word when CPU power was more limited?


You can do this now directly in the Google environment. Should be trivial to vibe code Google Apps Script to hit a Slack endpoint. You'd probably use an 'on edit' trigger to run the code.


I'm not sure I see why this needs to be a paid service. Unless I understand incorrectly, you can get the same result for free, self contained, with freely available code like this: https://gist.github.com/richardblondet/ce87a397ef669d4d25dd2...


Even an AppImage would be great.


I tried the colour game but found it terribly confusing.


I like GNOME for the most part. But I really dislike needing an extension to change the date away from US format. Extensions in general seem unstable. Every now and then GNOME just locks up and I have to kill it from a terminal session to avoid losing my work.


It could be "old person smell"? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Old_person_smell
