This is a bad idea. We used a software that did this for a while, and everybody scheduled meetings 30 minutes longer than necessary and specified the real time in the description, just to avoid cutting people off mid sentence.

Roborock is 900 MB just to control a robot vacuum

Logi Options+ is 500 MB to configure a few extra buttons on a keyboard or mouse. Back in the days things like these were a few kilobytes(!) control panel extension.

That only works if those colleagues care about what you think of them

Some sites can be very simple and yet quite useful. For example https://rawdiary.com/ always impresses me with its speed.

One of them has that “scrambled visual keyboard” for an 8-digit password, and at the same time proposes a passkey as an alternative on desktop. Go figure.

Also datalist is nice but most the time we need a “select” (so users can’t submit anything not in the list), but select doesn’t have search/filtering like datalist has.

Technically native selects do have a very rudimentary form of filtering: start typing text with the select focused and it will auto-select the first matching option.

E.g. if the select is a list of US states, type "N" and it will jump to Nebraska. Continue into "New" and you'll get New Hampshire, etc.

This is better than nothing (and I personally use it all the time) but not a patch on an actual proper select-with-filtering which, yes, you still need JS to implement properly.

In my experience it’s been the case for years. I’ve been paying for Kagi instead to solve this.

For what it’s worth, I think there’s space for such an app for Duckdb databases. It’s growing in popularity and not very widely supported yet.

Well I never heard of it before so I appreciate it

Right, they probably have an employee on site 24/7 for every piece of track they use. It’s a mystery why they didn’t think of calling them.

Your method involves the loss of at least one train before action is taken.
