• You don't have to type faster to type faster

  If you are already using Alfred[1] (with PowerPack), then snippets are your friend. Combine this with macOS's own Text Replacement[2], can cover most needs. You add up your snippets as you go along and sync/backup it so you won't have to re-do on each install/upgrade. I also found out that it is easier to use "," as a deliminator as there is no way I will type a normal English word with a comma then a character... - Source: Hacker News / 3 months ago

• Show HN: I automated 1/2 of my typing

  First, I have to make a personal confession — I never liked the SMS short-hand thingy that worked with pre-iPhone phones. That was one of the reason I use SMS/Text-Messages unless I really need to. I have been using text-expansion since the early days of TextExpander[1], an app that works on iOS and macOS. However good the iPhone keyboard was, it was always not convenient to type and retype details such as home... - Source: Hacker News / 10 months ago

• Getting faster at plug and play motions and using templates

  There is an app called TextExpander that you can use to store frequently used text selections and then type a shortcut to have it automatically insert into any Microsoft document. It is extremely helpful for busting through routine motions or correspondence. For example, if I want my atty’s signature block, I have it set up to insert when I type /sigblock. I have whole letters and pleadings saved in there and I... Source: about 1 year ago

• Suggest a text expander/ Clipboard app for my use case

• Tip: Use Text Snippets

  To help me save time and avoid distractions, I’ve been using prompts through the TextExpander app. These prompts are shortcuts that I’ve created to quickly add little instructions I feel I have to repeat often. For example, I’ve created a prompt to “stamp all code snippets you produce with a unique identifier,” which has made it much easier to ask GPT3 to go back and retrieve the code I’m referencing.

• Is Glade (C#) still a thing? If not - what's a good alternative?

  Basically title, I see that https://glade.gnome.org/ from apt info glade points to an empty website. Source: about 1 year ago

• No code tools with rust. Are there any no code tools for developing rust applications? I hate hardcoding applications from scratch but want to be able to get into specific details.

  The Glade website says that, as of August 2022, it's not being developed anymore and I remember reading an article somewhere (Phoronix?) saying that the GTK devs consider it deprecated and want you hand-writing GTKBuilder XML instead. I remember hearing several months ago that the GTK devs were deprecating Glade in favour of expecting people to hand-write GTKBuilder XML. Source: over 1 year ago

• What would you suggest to practice JS/Python in combination with GNOME apps

  So, what's the best way to tackle the challenge: writing GNOME extensions + bind them to GNOME app, or GJS, or Glade, or something else? I thought about working directly with the specific tool's source code but then I realise it'll be just a waste of my time decoding the code written by somebody else for the sake of adding a few hundred lines of code that would still make just a miserable part of the original...

• Does anybody have a use-case for Scala WASM compilation target?

  Can't argue with that, but to me it seems that things have substantially deteriorated since desktop GUIs fell out of fashion. Maybe that tells you more about my age than about the state of the art, but in the 90's one could "learn" GUI programming in about 30min in a RAD tool by throwing controls in containers and implementing callback functions in "direct style" for the event (Qt , swing, Java/ScalaFX, Gtk,...

• Learn GNOME Builder

  I'm also learning Pyhton with GTK. I don't know if you already use GTK4 or if you decided to stick with GTK3 to be able to generate the xml file with Glade (drag and drop) because GTK4 isn't supported by Glade. That being said for GTK4 and python I found a very nice guide right here. Source: about 2 years ago
