Electron maintainer here: We're looking to publish more posts like this on some of the work we've been doing to improve quality and platform integration in Electron and Chromium. Would love to hear from the the HN community if there any areas you'd like to see more of a focus on.
Very sorry to hear this Hackbraten. Wayland support has been gradually improving so you should be able to use an up-to-date version of 1Password in Wayland without these kinds of issues, although as with all things Wayland it also depends on your distro/WM/GPU. (I recently tested in Fedora 40, and I use 1Password in native Wayland mode on openSUSE Tumbleweed.)
I believe our clipboard integration still has an XWayland dependency, but you don't need to actually load into X11 to use it, just have it installed. We are currently working on better native clipboard support for Wayland in the arboard project. (Contributors are always welcome! https://github.com/1Password/arboard.)
Also if you ever feel like applying for that job, I'd love to have more people who are passionate about Linux on the team. :)
Pandoc and multimarkdown are the greatest. I've never found a way to fit textutil into that workflow, though. Is there anything it can do that pandoc can't by itself?
Textutil handles a couple of apple-specific file formats (rtfd, webarchive) that do an embrace-and-extend on open(ish) standards.
(Annoyingly it doesn't provide a way to get at the guts of Apple's own Pages files. Which sucks because the only tools for transcoding Pages are Pages itself, and icloud.com.)
> Go fullscreen. Not so much for the real estate but for the mental switch. Fullscreen mode is a way to immerse yourself into your productive development world. No browser, no mail, no application notification. Only code.
This is an excellent point and one that's not nearly as appreciated as it should be. Fullscreen mode was written off in Lion as an example of Apple dumbing down the platform and making it more like iOS, but it's the perfect mode for writers, coders--and really just about any kind of creator who needs to focus.
I use sizeup[1] to maximize the terminal (or any other app) with a keystroke, instead of native full screen. It works across all applications that allow window resizing, and has handy shortcuts for "half" full screen, which is great to position, say, a browser and editor next to each other across the whole screen.
Which reminds me, I really will go and pay my 13 bucks for it now, it's more than worth it. But the free version is fully functional with just an occasional nag screen.
I do front-end web development and full-screen doesn't work for me. I never spend that much time just coding. I switch to test in the browser often so switching between full-screen windows is jarring.
It does feel I'm retreading ground that's already been covered too many times, but my whole motivation for this blog was more or less what you're observing. There's a huge group of people on the fringes of hacker culture who are looking for a way in and don't know where to start. Definitely a fan of the idea of 'Nixacademy.
