Show HN: A note-keeping system on top of Fossil SCM
I used a note system built on top of Fossil as my primary system for quite a while. Here are the details in case anyone is interested.
Fossil allows CGI extensions[1]. There's a database for tickets, but that's just a regular SQLite table that you can use to store anything you want, and it's version controlled and queryable. I stored the notes plus metadata in the tickets database. The CGI returned HTML with the Ace editor for creating/editing notes.[2] Notes were stored using the command line.[3] I needed to add the web server user to the sudoers file to access the Fossil binary.
There were two reasons to use Fossil for this. The biggest was that it handled authentication. The second is that I had a version controlled database to do all the work for me.
I think I eventually moved away from it because I prefer working locally. The "transition" was dumping the data out of the database and into markdown files.

Writing a (simple) code editor for the web?
Hey there! Thanks for reaching out. Writing a code editor with syntax highlighting in a browser can be a little tricky, but it's definitely doable. One resource that might be helpful is the Ace Editor library (https://ace.c9.io/). It's a lightweight but powerful editor that includes syntax highlighting for a huge range of languages. You could also check out CodeMirror (https://codemirror.net/), which is another popular library for building web-based code editors. Good luck, and let us know how it goes!

The ShnooTalk programming language
The frontend uses the ace editor for syntax highlighting and then sends all the "text" you have typed to a python backend. The backend then writes all the text to a temporary directory and calls the compiler using subprocess (something similar to os.system).

MDSlides - Simple markdown presentation tool
It is built using Reveal.js and Ace, and is a simple markdown presentation tool right in the browser.
-
Frontend library for syntax highlighting / validation of uBlock rules
Thanks for the suggestion! Although Ace is not the most popular kid in the block, it is still maintained. It does support tmLanguage and could be used for a proof-of-concept editor!

Edit code from browser
For the code editing you can use Ace.

Running Vim Text Editor in the Browser with WebAssembly
This would cool to use as an embedded editor browser plugin. Surfingkeys' quirky vim emualation editor, Ace, could be replaced. for example. I think there are other plugins that emulate vim or remotely use neovim, but this approach would be so much better.

I created a chrome extension for enabling relative line numbering in Overleaf
It turns out that Overleaf uses the open-source Ace editor, which actually has an option for relative line numbering, but toggling it is not possible in the Overleaf UI. However, it can be enabled from the browser console by running these lines of code.

Vimium – The Hacker's Browser
For the privacy-conscious interested in SK, it may be worth a read of this GH issue: https://github.com/brookhong/Surfingkeys/issues/1796
I empathise with the author wanting to make a buck but it's hard to reconcile the approach he took with the level of trust granted to this extension.
Hope this helps someone looking for a better option migrating from Vimium.

I just found out you can navigate through reddit posts using J and K
Was this issue about the bundled search hijacker resolved in some sort of positive way? I abandoned SurfingKeys as soon as I heard about that and haven't looked at it again. It'd be nice if that was all rolled back, but I switched to Vimium and haven't found it to be particularly worse, at least not for the way that I browse the web. The only thing that I've been missing is the vim-like text editor but, for me, that's a relatively minor feature; I don't write giant comments that often.

Leap.nvim for the browser
Look into surfingkeys
Moved from it in favor of more features that surfingkeys provide. If you know a little bit of javascript you can conquer your browser!
-
Wasavi – VI editor for any webpage
Tridactyl's key feature is "native messaging".
A further alternative is https://github.com/brookhong/Surfingkeys. Its key feature is a javascript configuration - allowing you to bind arbitrary javascript to a key.

My RSI recovery setup
I can highly recommend this extension. It looks similar to the one you use.

Proxy chrome extensions are not going to be usable in MV3
Manifest V2 deprecation is likely going to break extensions that inject userscripts, like Tampermonkey [0] and SurfingKeys [1]. The Chrome team has been rather unhelpful. They've promised to add support for power-user tools like these in MV3:
dotproto from the Chrome team commented on May 27 [2]:
> @mon-jai, the short answer is no, I don't have any updates to share. That said, I'll reaffirm that we plan to support userscript managers in Maniest V3 before the Manifest V2 deprecation.
But the deprecation is approaching and the Chrome team hasn't released any more information about this AFAIK. These extensions are going to require large refactors to support MV3 and they can't meaningfully start until the Chrome team elucidates how script injection will work. With MV2 deprecation coming so soon, I worry there won't be enough time.
