Ask HN: What was the best software that you used during 2022?
nvi2 [0]: I got to like the simplicity of nvi when installing Void Linux on my laptop, but it had some annoying bugs that made me switch to nvi2. In general, it feels like `good' software; powerful enough by virtue of being a 1:1 vi clone with a few crucial improvements (multibyte, multi-undo, etc.), but simple enough to hack on if I miss some feature. Though no autocomplete means it's not suitable for more verbose languages, like Java.
QuickJS [1]: qjscalc is my go-to scientific calculator, and qjs my go-to JavaScript implementation for simple programs. The C interface is very nice to use, too. All in all, it feels very much like a "complete" engine, even if not quite as fast as one with JIT.
w3m [2]: Somewhat lacking as a web browser, but a very good pager. Would take it over less any day. Also has the best table display of any text-mode browser, supports inline images, and is rather extensible.
Wine [3]: It's gotten so good that I no longer have to dual boot Windows. Still not perfect, but definitely on my list of "good software".

w3m rocks
> I've been noodling about the implementation of adding functionality to w3m and lynx so there is a separate fetch-page func but report a different User-Agent header (eg, "Mozilla"). I've encountered many pages that don't allow access until I change the "lynx-*" header (bastards).
Wouldn't this feature suffice? https://github.com/tats/w3m/blob/master/doc/README.siteconf

Effectively reading and studying an open source project before using it in my project.
But the problem is that a lot of the code isn't commented to explain what they're doing and there isn't a lot of documentation online to use the software effectively. (In order to not make my question vague, I'm trying to build a front end Gtk GUI to w3m. But I don't need explanation to the code or steps to do this. even though I didn't understand it and I don't know the steps I need. What I'm looking for is a method to effectively study the code of an open source project that didn't take into consideration that you'll study it, therefor they didn't document well the structure of their codebase and how the project was build and the different parts of making it).

Is there a way to get the current data folder?
If you know the names of the folders in advance it's possible to make a different mapping in each of the folders to load a different file per datafolder but with the same keys. There is no variable system in Vieb, and as such there are no commands that will need or use the datafolder as an argument. This specific question would best be solved by a proper bookmark system which would load a file from the datafolder anyway, without having to build this in manually. Work on this has started some time ago, but has recently stalled: https://github.com/Jelmerro/Vieb/pull/391 If you or anyone else is up to the task feel free to pick this up again, as I don't use bookmarks at all so it's of little use to me personally, and as such have bigger priority tickets to work on in Vieb most of the time.

A way to hide the scrollbar completely + darkreader takes a sec to apply darkmode..
For the time being you can keep using the extension, but once 9.0.0 is released extension support will indeed be removed. To modify the styling, you can use the new "userstyle" setting to inject custom styling into any page, the relevant commit is here. Once that version is released you can find the help for it with :help userstyle, though that isn't in any released version yet (You can always build it yourself to get it early).

Will Vieb support extensions in future?
In the current releases there is experimental support for it, but this will be dropped soon due to the lack of compatibility. Instead I will focus my efforts towards integrating commonly requested features, which has started with the integration of sponsorblock and darkreader. So unless by a miracle somebody will contribute a working extension integration, full extension support is not something Vieb will have. You can find more info on Github, and also suggest extensions you want to be in Vieb: https://github.com/Jelmerro/Vieb/issues/385

Vieb 8.0.0: chromium 102, performance and security improvements, add source viewer, add readerview, better adblocking, support prompts (and block dialogs), custom useragents, bugfixes for: follow labels, composing keyboards, url encoding and much more
Extensions are hard, and the current implementation is as far as I can personally make them work, which is sadly not good enough. I'm considering dropping support altogether and implementing major ones into Vieb (such as some sort of darkreader). Extensions are such a daunting task that even implementing multiple extensions from scratch seems easier than trying to make all of them work as proper extensions, this is also the approach used for the new sourceviewer and reader view (both of which use package to render the views, but are still integrated into Vieb as if a native part of it). The current progress of making extensions work is tracked in this ticket: https://github.com/Jelmerro/Vieb/issues/130, but it's been stuck at basic extensions (such as dark reader) without GUI for a while, and even those fail to install occasionally for the most obscure and random reasons, it's just not very stable at all.
