How do I install VScodium without flatpak and speed up Guix?
Same problem with VSCodium's AppImage (the error about libz.so.1). And yes, they're both just electron app so the differences haven't mattered yet. Acorn is a project management tool, I also tried Xplorer.

Winning my first Hacktoberfest!
My first PR to count towards the event was : https://github.com/kimlimjustin/xplorer/pull/108 which was on 1st Oct. I was already contributing to the kimlimjustin/xplorer repo(which btw is a well-designed cross-platform file-explorer you might wanna check out!) before the hacktoberfest kicked-off and as this is my first event I didn't know how the PR's were counted and all.

The latest update depreciates some process events, and added new modules, APIs, methods, and more. Read into all the changes in the Electron release notes. This month, Electron also introduced a new formal RFC process.

Design Systems with Web Components
So we talked a lot about the Atomic Design Principle, but you could just use that in any system and start creating. You could have Angular components, React Components, and Vue Components. But if you notice these don't easily work Everwhere. So the solution is to use Web Components because the modern browser can already understand these, and any Front-End framework can then utilize these components. You can use Electron for desktop (Slack, VSCode), PWA for both Android and iOS, and across all browsers Can I Use.

How I got Wayland, Vulkan, and hardware acceleration working with Figma on Fedora 39.
I'm noticing a significant boost in performance, crisper text, and better power savings. The only shortcoming is that the window which Figma will run on will lose its shadow. This is due to a technical limitation with frameless windows on Linux.

Building Apps with Tauri and Elixir
For the longest time, building desktop apps was a daunting task to web developers. That is, until technologies like Electron made creating these apps more approachable to a wider audience. Today, we’ve got a wide array of native applications built with solutions like Electron, Tauri, Capacitor, and many more. While these are great solutions, sometimes configuration can be tricky and the applications we create can become somewhat bloated in terms of memory usage.

Capturing at Speed of Thought
Turns out, there is an issue with the electron window not returning focus correctly on mac - https://github.com/electron/electron/issues/5495. The trick to solving is to treat quick capture as a screensaver. When closing, you hide it by setting the opacity to 0 and sending hide: command to the first responder.
