binjgb VS espanso

This is using my gameboy emulator, binjgb[0], on the website! (well one of my gameboy emulators, heh [1][2]) It's been used as the emulator for GB Studio for a little while now, but I don't know how often people embed it in their websites, so it's really cool to see.

Nice work, looks great! I wrote a blog post about the way I did mine a few years back: https://binji.github.io/posts/binjgb-rewind/. You can play with the web version at https://binji.github.io/binjgb/. Reading it back, I was pretty concerned about keeping the size down, but also on reducing dependencies, so I spent a lot of time trying to have a fancy circular buffer.

Big fan of this author's work.

They have a Gameboy emulator written in C, which can be compiled to WASM and run in the browser.

I learned a lot from the code.

Also I love this project with a bunch of demos in hand-written WebAssembly Text (WAT) format, which is like low-level Lisp that works only with raw memory, numbers, and minimal syntax.

Then I discovered the same author is quite active in the WebAssembly ecosystem, including specs and tooling. Fascinating stuff!

Recently I fell into a wormhole, or rather time sink, playing with a Gameboy emulator that runs in the browser.

There's something so satisfying about a virtual machine that fits in a ~106K WASM file, that can play hundreds of classic games like Teris and Super Mario Bros (via ROM collections on Internet Archive). I don't usually play games, but this emulator is so cute and fun, I keep coming back to waste time on it.

Actually, PICO-8 was the last time I felt this kind of child-like joy about a computer.

I get a similar feeling from this Infinite Mac project.

It's so pleasing to see a running Macintosh in the browser. That interface feels like an old friend. The underlying VM, BasiliskII, is a little less than 1MB WASM file. Amazing!

From the entertaining article, I learned about "retrocomputing". OK, so that's what I'm into, haha.

Want to create Your own music cartridge (no problem :) You can use our lsdpack-kit constructor. Multiple rom support. But keep in mind that this is still in development.Custom styled HTML emulator based on binjgb could be found here.

If you want a standalone cross platform text expander I currently enjoy using Espanso[1]

This should work for you. Free, cross-platform and works everywhere not just the browser. https://espanso.org/

Huh, didn't know abbrev had that limitation (wonder why?). Gave it a go in espanso (https://espanso.org/), and it does work there.

I use a tool called "Espanso" to accomplish something similar at work. It only runs locally, so no weird data scraping issues to worry about. And it's easy to update as things changes becauase everything lives in a simple yml file.

https://espanso.org/

It can do simple text replacement, so I have words, phrases, and sentences I use frequently compressed into a few keyboard clicks. It can also grab what is in your clipboard, so that can be incorporated into responses, which is simple but very handy.

A simple text replacement looks like this in the yaml file:
