Any chance they could make it less than 850 MB?

Impressions of The Great Wave Off Kanagawa 神奈川沖浪裏 are currently on view at a record 7 places around the world. https://greatwavetoday.com

Each one of the remaining originals is subtly different due to the woodblock printing process, and must be stored for the majority of the time due to being susceptible to fading in light.

Similarly, it makes me dizzy/sick a little like travel sickness

That’s probably because 10% of ingested aspartame breaks down into methanol.

Or, you might just be sensitive to phenylalanine.

A six-pack of aspartame-sweetened Diet Coke has about as much methanol as a single apple.

But crucially, it has no ethanol.

I would be all over this if it was a native macOS app

I started Tolaria in Swift but met very real limitations especially in the Markdown editor part. It's very hard to build something that is Notion like in that department with Swift.

But give it a try because Tauri is very fast

I just built a markdown-style editor for iOS that is highly performant with files of 5000 lines.

Every keystroke is restyled in under 8ms: no debouncing, no delayed rendering. 20 rapid keystrokes are processed in 150ms with full restyling after each one. Tag and boolean searches complete in under 20ms. Visible-range rendering is 25x faster than full-document styling. 120Hz screen refresh supported.

App file size is 722 KB.

If I can do it on iOS then it's must be 10x easier on macOS.

At least for me it’s not about speed, but the npm ecosystem: I try to avoid running npm deps in my home computer (if any, I run them in VMs, but a KB should run in the host I believe)

Agree, the npm ecosystem is increasingly becoming an security liability.

Curious if you looked at using SwiftDown (https://github.com/qeude/SwiftDown), MarkupEditor (https://github.com/stevengharris/MarkupEditor) or any other libraries for live/WYSIWYG Markdown editing.

Check out mdnb.app, a true native markdown app for macOS.

Ah, so certain, and so wrong.

(Author here) All 19 edits to the file floppy.md over the past few months are in my local git repo, and all the people who proof-read different versions of it would be happy to attest. The site is statically generated from templates and content created by me.

The manifesto is written in my attempt at the same style as others I've read, like the one for Small Games (as in scope, not file size): https://twitter.com/gingerbeardman/status/196592155732860525...

The small games manifesto has no LLM tells.

If yours really is fully handwritten, then you've been reading so much AI writing you're mimicking a lot of its patterns, which is sad to see.

So you're now not so certain. That's progress, I guess. You seem to want to tell me what I've been doing and how I've been doing it, which is a bit odd.

OP and author here. I looked at one photo retouch app on my Mac: it was 1GB, and 500MB of that was a web view framework (browser). My equivalent is 777 KB!

Fantastic! Now I'm off to check my source code files (I'm the author of the manifesto)

I still use vintage Gravis Metro (my current one is 20 years old) and the smaller Japanese Gravis Mini Metro (my daily; currently 10 years old, with a few holes appearing in the non-cordura base).

Any other examples of burgers shown like this?
