  • I’m using it! But only for a week or so. Definitely a skill and not something you can be fast on right away. I’m just getting to the point where I can type some things without looking at the keyboard. Was pretty slow at first, still a little slower than the normal keyboard. I seem to be still in the ‘rapid improvement’ phase so hopefully will get ahead of the normal keyboard soon.




  • Its pretty hard to come up with a unique name these days. For the most part I’m ok with whatever the developer likes. Lately switched my code from ‘serialport’ to ‘serialport-rs’. Takes a bit of cognitive effort to keep those separated, a downside of similar names. And if you want to find a lib like http-server, how are you going to search for it?

    Maybe a better way to go is with functional naming but with author attribution. So google/http-server or joebobs/http-server. In rust, unfortunately packages don’t have author attached so unique names are necessary.








  • What I think would be interesting would be to have communities be tags rather than exclusive categories. So if you make a post, you can add more than one tag to it, provided you are a ‘member’ of those tags.

    Tags would have moderators much like communities have moderators now, to preserve the meaning of the tag. So you could have a tag like ‘billionaire media’, and members could slap that tag on all nyt, wapo, etc articles. Moderators would boot members who misapplied the tag.

    Then what would be interesting would be to use the tags for searches, like ‘news’ minus ‘billiionaire media’.

    Pretty significant changes from what lemmy is today, so would be either a fork of lemmy or a from scratch new program.
