I am like a fan of these ligature, and have been using fira code for a long time now. When i am writing equations on my own, this is how i would write, so it helps a lot. Without ligature these days i find it bit difficult to read these, <=, ==, => .

This could possibly endanger someone who is isolated or not in a good mental state.

If you are using vim, you could try this one https://github.com/aquach/vim-http-client. I have been using it for some time and it has worked well. Use in your local file system, integrates well with vim but I had to fork it since it didn't had a timeout setting.

One point i am curious about is the way you described you intend to make money, by providing a managed service. I am just thinking that if this service gets really liked by people, won't aws/gcp/azure create managed services out of this code and then it will be difficult for you to sell your services as most companies like to use the services their existing infrastructure is already on. Something similar to what happened with elasticsearch.

Developers waiting on the dev/sandbox environment for their turn, is such a frequent issue within our team specially when the sprint is about to end. This solution really looks cool and will be trying this out tomorrow.I am sure our cloud team will be very much interested in this.

I have moved from postman to https://github.com/aquach/vim-http-client and have never looked back ever since, its opens in vim and has variables to store values and can store comments too in a .txt file along with the http calls. Give this a try if you are using vim.

See I am not against newer tools, I am using a lot of newer tools myself like fd/rg. What I am against is claims like "Ths new tool will replace everything else that has been made". Let people decide what works for them and choose accordingly.

I have tried using it few times but I didn't see much benefit of using it, I am mostly working with python/django/javascript/react and by now most of the common functions I already know, so I didn't see much use of it and tbh it felt a bit distracting to me when a big hover definition came when I am typing something.

The times when I don't remember how something works, usually I have to go the stackoverflow answers/documentation to read on how it works, maybe try it out a few times in the shell, before writing the code. For typechecking and errors I have been using ALE and it does give a warning if there's something wrong and this setup is working fine for me.

I have not tried the editor itself, but one thing that puts me off is how some people are claiming its going to replace vim/nevoim and others by the virtue of its great LSP and tree sitter support. I am working as a full time developer for the last 4-5 years and I never needed to use auto complete (for long words C-x n is there) and the current syntax highlighting seems fine. Vim is working great for me and I don't feel any reason to switch to others. Instead of bashing other editors, maybe just tell what makes your editor unique and why people would want to use it?

I think you are not seeing from the other side, many times the information conveyed for a certain duration is not relevant for some members of the team, instead of always saying i dont want to join this meeting entirely its much easy to only listen the parts that are relevant to you. Using a camera and forcing them to look won't help much here, as they won't be paying attention still.

I have recently started using kinopio and did like it. It has been getting more and more features recently, you could give that a try.

Vimwiki does supports tags, and allows multiple tags too. I added a request around 2 years ago to add support for custom delimiters for tags which too was added in the dev branch. I have been a happy user of vimwiki for the last 3-4 years and it works great. Use pandoc for conversion to html, has mathjax support for mathematical expressions along with support for mermaid-js too. For searching the notes i have been using leader-f with fzf, fd and rg.

The ability to expand and collapse keys and moving around the sibling keys is great, the help was at the place where I expected it to be, ":h". I love this!
