This seems to be very similar to the (sadly abandoned) Haystack editor [1]. I was a bit surprised to find no mention of Haystack in the README or here in the comments. Maybe the idea of having a "canvas editor" and building it on VS Code is not that unique...

Thanks for the pointer, I actually didn’t know Haystack before. Looks like it belongs in the prior-art / inspiration section, so I’ll add it to the README.

From a quick look, I agree there is overlap around the canvas editor idea. Cate is aiming a bit more at the broader project workspace layer: terminals, browser previews, editors, notes, agents, git/worktrees, docking/tabs/splits, and persistent layouts around a project.

But yes, fair callout. Appreciate the input.

> Maybe the idea of having a "canvas editor" and building it on VS Code is not that unique...

Re-reading my comment made me realize it sounded condescending, where it was actually meant to emphasize that a canvas editor is a great idea! So I am very glad that there is development is this space.

Just felt the need to clarify this...

OP mentions "Logitech Pop" at the end of the article.

> I had to set my syncthing web GUI to be listening on all addresses instead of just 127.0.0.1. I don't love this approach, but again, this thing has nothing private on it.

OP mentions SOCKS proxy but you can also just port-forward the one web ui port instead:

    ssh -nNT writerdeck -L 8484:localhost:8384

and visit http://localhost:8484 on your normal machine.

That sounds amazing!

The WebRTC "fallback" basically means the QR code is just a handshake when both devices are on the same network?

The handshake details are passed alongside the data so that if a direct connection is successful, the network races the optical transfer.

Have you looked at the article? The specimen would be quite huge for a newt larva, no?

Afaik Germany is one of the most expensive countries for employing white collar jobs?

The gross income to the employee might be 75k in Germany, but the cost to the employer is roughly twice that amount in turn.

In my (very naive) mental model, US salaries are higher, have less "overhead" for the employer, but leave more responsibility (healthcare, retirement) to the employee.

Employer cost is not 2x, more like 1.2x, employer overhead is mostly insurance related stuff. We had salaray to employer cost tables at my previous job.

What true though is that after taxes you might just receive 60% of your total salary once you deduct taxes and insurances.

> In my (very naive) mental model, US salaries are higher, have a lot less "overhead" for the employer, but leave more responsibility (healthcare, retirement) to the employee.

Unfortunately this time, AI does not have vacations, healthcare, retirement or bills to pay and is available 24/7, 365 days on demand.

Many companies only see this as an opportunity to cut down on employees in 2026 and Session will do the same.

So that is why to answer your question:

> ...Germany is one of the most expensive countries for employing white collar jobs?

The main reason why the downsizing will continue until "AGI" is achieved internally.

Yeah , but the German pension system is unfortunately a scam . Therefore everyone is responsible for their own retirement (private investments e.g etfs) .

> Carimbo doesn't reinvent the wheel; it uses the best libraries, such as boost, Box2D, EnTT, stb, yyjson, sol2, PhysFS, SDL, and miniaudio.

To me this sounds similar to Love2D. How is Carimbo different, from the perspective of a dev working with it?

Carimbo is more opined.

I think what you're quoting is one of the clearest and most relatable statements in this whole mess of a blog post!

While I don't relate, I am inclined to agree with you here. I stopped reading at: > Period.

I think OP means user-friendly in the relationship user-company, not user-government.

No, it's much too low. OP shows Pearson's X^2 for their results, but that alone is meaningless. p-value would be the interesting metric. I haven't computed it (although we could from the results) but I expect it to be very high, i.e. it's likely to observe these results even with perfect dice.
