The big utility of WASM for me, like OP hints at, is bringing things that would be infeasible to port to the web to it, like, say https://pgaskin.net/kepubify/ and other conversion tools (eg ffmpeg-wasm). Much preferable to downloading something or uploading a file to some random person’s server

kobowriter

Yes, this is a problem for books with long titles and subtitles. I use kobopatch to increase the width available for book titles in the booklist https://www.mobileread.com/forums/showpost.php?p=4239375&postcount=844. Here are pics of some patches that I use.

Project mention: Show HN: WarpBuild – x86-64 and arm GitHub Action runners for 30% faster builds | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-12-08

Oh neat, I came across BuildJet the other day.
I was trying to cross-compile a side project (https://github.com/marcus-crane/october) for Linux arm64 but trying to do so would throw up some instruction set errors.
I had parted the idea of supporting Linux arm since Github has no runners but I threw in BuildJet and it spat out a working build with no problems!
Given it only needs to run on release, for a small open source project, being charged something like 1 cent per build is surprisingly reasonable compared to having no runner at all / having to spin up a self-hosted runner :)
