⭐️ I'm releasing Screenotate 2.0, my Mac/Windows screenshot+OCR+context app: screenotate.com
When you take a screenshot, it recognizes text inside + the originating URL, then saves it as a self-contained HTML file for later search
inventing a new lossless compression algorithm for screenshots that identifies all fonts and GUI elements in the screenshot, checks that it can now reproduce the screenshot in a pixel-perfect way, then just stores that semantic data
i want 'programmers looking down on spreadsheets' discourse but like the opposite, like spreadsheet people looking down on programmers
'how can programmers stand not seeing the concrete data they're operating on' 'how can programmers tolerate not being able to live edit code'
website-making class where you have to recapitulate the history of the web -- week 1 you can only use the very first HTML tags from HTML 1.0 or whatever, then over time you get to use <img>, then CSS, JavaScript 1.0, XMLHttpRequest, etc
i always assumed the Bézier of Bézier curves was some 19th-century French mathematician, but it turns out he was a CAD and automotive engineer in the 60s
