One of the advantages of Overleaf is that I can share a link with a collaborator and they only need a browser to participate. I assume with this, everyone will need to download the editor?

Ah, right, this article reminded me of the fact, that ARM was bought by SoftBank back in 2016. Seems they actually picked some winners, not just WeWork and Wag.

Pink sauce?!

Wait, hold up: "She makes it in a commercial facility that is certified by the Food and Drug Administration", and she's been "serving it to my clients for a year", but also "This is a small business that is moving really, really fast".

A small business using a commercial FDA-certified facility to make a pink sauce and the recipe has apparently been used for a year is moving really, really fast? Really, really fast in the marketing department, I would assume...

"pure HTML/CSS/JS" sounds great, but then there is no demo hosted directly on GitHub pages? Form submission could just go nowhere.

I would love to get a quick taste of what you think makes this special.

Hey, thanks for the recommendations! These sound great.

This is one of those headlines that initially reads like a joke until you think of the economics of it. "cost is about 5-10% of the cost of an equivalent system built with off-the-shelf computer parts."

I wonder if this is due to the fact that the Playstation hardware is (was?) competitively priced to encourage revenue generation through games? Or was Sony simply very good at mass-producing these units?

> “At least you can say that in Pratchett’s books, the bloody elves never sang!”

Terry Pratchett I think is one of my favourite writers to read. The absurdity of his fantasy settings is just the right level of entertaining for me. Everything flows so smoothly that I sometimes get the subtle jokes only on my second read-through.

So this is the killer application for the blockchain? Not a store of value, but a store of chess games?

In all seriousness, I'm not sure chess needed an "entertaining crypto layer" or "NFTs tied to pieces"... Best of luck

I mean, there is even stuff like linking to pages in PDF files... but I feel like it's another feature that's rarely used.

Maybe, in an ideal world, I could imagine an editing experience with a split screen editor with the article text and the references open at the same time. Right now, it does feel like references are an afterthought in the editing workflow.

This reminds me of branching in PlanetScale (https://docs.planetscale.com/concepts/branching). I am not an expert, though. Is this a similar approach in terms of use case?

I really feel like the lack of well-structured citations is what's keeping many Wikipedia articles back. It's just not good enough to throw some paper reference (potentially behind a paywall) or a news article after a full paragraph of text.

Often when editing a page, I am left wondering where exactly the previous editor has gotten a fact from. The Wiki markup even allows "quotes", i.e. short extracts of what exactly you're referring to, but I've yet to see anyone beside myself actually use it consistently.

Having a structured list of references for a given topic in a Wikipedia article is incredibly helpful!

Some thoughts:

* Menetrend? like in mean as in average? Unfortunately also has a slight connotation with a butchered version of MemeTrend...

* Is it just me who somehow isn't accustomed to seeing *.xyz domains used for serious stuff?

* Insights, reports and automations sound great, but how is this different from other solutions?

* Most importantly, which platforms are supported? TikTok? LinkedIn? Or only standard Twitter, FB, Insta? What do you mean by social media?!

What about Tip 8. "Provide consistently interesting newsletter content that provides value to readers and keeps them engaged and more likely to open your next newsletter based on the content they have previously enjoyed."?
