Maybe I'm being silly, but I felt a strange existential dread watching the video. I asked myself: who is being marketed toward? In my head, it's Apple lovers that want to larp as car people, and having the money to waste on such an endeavor.
edit: I just realized, I don't know the price, but I've basically described tesla people. I wonder how many of these buyers already own one...
edit 2: price is around 600,000 USD -- it's a super tesla!
I'd end up with something like this if I ever had the time. Instead of a corporate wiki, though, I'd probably use something like sphinx to compile PDF files, and store them on the public workspace.
Is this a recent addition? I recall attempting to do this some years ago, failing, and putting the tool out of my mind as a result. Maybe I was doing something wrong.
I have a love/hate relationship with diagrams, and diagrams-as-code-things (plantuml, mermaid, etc). As a programmer, I find myself trying to turn everything in to a software project: everything must be version control-able. Same with these diagramming solutions -- except I nearly never know what I want the digram to look like, when I start "writing" it. This means I nearly always end up on something like lucid.app just sketching out the solution, and thinking to myself that I'll turn it in to a beautiful diagram with one of the earlier solutions, later -- that never happens. So now I have a diagram I can link to (yay), but can't version control (boo).
Then, I discovered excalidraw[1]: it lets me sketch like lucid, but isn't nearly as polished or robust: you can throw together simple shapes, draw lines between them, and the lines stick to the shapes, so you can move them around and the lines move too. You can also group things together, and draw freehand, and also include text -- what more do you need?
The cool thing about excalidraw is that you can share your drawings, and export them as SVG files -- yay! I can version them again. You can also self-host it, which is a massive plus in my book.
Yes, panic is a large part of the problem. I think I recall the feeling once, when my dad was teaching me to swim around 4 or 5. I think I tried to stand up, and just sunk, then I tried to pull myself up, and grasped at water. I figure at that point my dad just plucked me out of the water and told me to try again haha
That's interesting. I've been using git every day for about 8 years, I've never found myself in a situation where I couldn't fix something I broke. But maybe that time will come.
Also, there's snapdrop[1] that does almost the same thing, for free, without the need to install anything. It'd probably be wiser that snapdrop were a native application; then it's dev would not need to pay to host the client application anywhere.
I say this as a software developer using Emacs daily as my IDE: emacs is not an IDE -- at least not OOTB. It can become a competent IDE, but that isn't what it's built for. Instead, I think of Emacs as an overengineered elisp REPL.
That said, I would love to see the issues you mentioned addressed, and would love to see how the EAF[1] does in the future.
This seems seriously cool. I wonder if its constant recording is going to fill up my HDD.
edit: found the storage option. It defaults to keeping all data, but I've changed that to one month retention -- they say they use around 14GB a month.
It reminds me of having to use screen recording software for a previous remote job. I wished I could use that recording to do something exactly like this. Now, if only one could flip the script, and make the employer request that recording, instead of forcing one to share it.
