I have, it's called Visual Studio Code and I ditched my old native editor(s) for it.
I'd even suggest that the fact that it's JS based has significantly changed the tech world because the editor itself will run in a browser so it's here https://godbolt.org/ , and here https://codesandbox.io, and here https://www.postman.com/, and here https://aws.amazon.com/pm/cloud9/ and 100s or 1000s of other sites.

openobserve
π 10x easier, π 140x lower storage cost, π high performance, π petabyte scale - Elasticsearch/Splunk/Datadog alternative for π (logs, metrics, traces, RUM, Error tracking, Session replay).
Project mention: I got OpenTelemetry to work. But why was it so complicated? | news.ycombinator.com | 2025-01-10You are generally correct but I've used https://github.com/openobserve/openobserve for several projects for dev-only complete OTel stack (dashboards included) and I liked it. There are better dashboards out there for sure, but for what I needed locally it did the job fantastically well. Zero complaints.
It's extremely easy to self-host, either on a dev machine, a VPS, or in any Docker-based PaaS.

Project mention: Rust Implementation Guide - from efficient learning to implementation | dev.to | 2025-01-19
In other words, because there is not as much "Effective" intermediate and above information as in other languages, you need to struggle with the Rust compiler and establish (pioneer) the following design patterns (experiences) [16] must be established (pioneered) by yourself while struggling with the Rust compiler.

> Is this something Flutter doesn't do?
Flutter does do this (at least to some extent) on Desktop/Mobile. It attempts to create a hidden DOM tree for accessibility on web. Which generally doesn't seem to be thought to work very well.
> One of the most jarring experiences I have with Flutter Desktop was it lacked MacOS Emacs-style key bindings for text editing (ctrl-a, ctrl-e, etc.). Not sure if Dioxus solved this?
Ah, we're nearly there on that one. We have a PR [0] accepted into Winit (the underlying windowing library we use) which will allow us to access those events. We're just waiting on Winit to do a new release and then we can integrate it into Dioxus.

readyset
Readyset is a MySQL and Postgres wire-compatible caching layer that sits in front of existing databases to speed up queries and horizontally scale read throughput. Under the hood, ReadySet caches the results of cached select statements and incrementally updates these results over time as the underlying data changes.
Project mention: Ask HN: How Can I Make My Front End React to Database Changes in Real-Time? | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-04-17- Some platforms like Supabase Realtime [3] and Firebase offer subscription models to database changes, but these solutions fall short when dealing with complex queries involving joins or group-bys.
My vision is that the modern frontend to behave like a series of materialized views that dynamically update as the underlying data changes. Current state management libraries handle state trees well but don't seamlessly integrate with relational or graph-like database structures.
The only thing I can think of is to implement it by myself, which sounds like a big PITA.
Anything goes, Brainstorm with me. Is it causing you headaches as well? Are you familiar with an efficient solution? how are you all tackling it?
