insect VS jspaint

Apparently this replaces https://github.com/sharkdp/insect

You might like https://insect.sh/ ;)

For the record I use insect.

I'm in the same boat and will pay for Kagi, though I have a different interaction with a search engine and thought you might like the counterpoint. Notably, I don't use Google for most of what you described:

Translation: I use DeepL instead (google is doing poorly on Asian languages)

Conversion: not having much need for imperial but I use this for all unit conversion (though usually directly in my terminal): https://insect.sh/

Wikipedia: if I type Wikipedia+something my browser automatically use the wiki engine (chrome can do that too)

Word definition: on OSX I long press on the trackpad and the definition pops up (across languages, translation too for single words)

Lyrics: Spotify show them now! (admittedly that's a recent feature)

the urls this generates don't seem to work: 2 min + 30 s creates https://insect.sh/?q=2+min+%2B+30+s which turns into 2 min × 30 × s

I recommend https://insect.sh (you can install it through NPM to use it locally). Does simple maths well, does functions, does units, does conversions... pretty cool shell calculator.

For terminal calculations I have been using insect: it's awesome.

This is by the same person who made jspaint. https://github.com/1j01/jspaint Some of the other projects by the author are also very interesting https://github.com/1j01?tab=repositories&q=&type=&language=&...

There is this pipes screen saver for example https://1j01.github.io/pipes/

I found a browser-based clone https://jspaint.app/ that I use probably every day to whiteboard with my coworkers over zoom. It's probably become a meme at this point.

Search for these in the Software app—they are way simpler than GIMP: Drawing, MyPaint, Pinta. There's also https://jspaint.app/ - Paint that runs in the web browser.

i usually use https://jspaint.app/, which isnt exactly a linux alternative, since its web based but it gets the job done just fine
