<p>Instagram makes it extremely frustrating without an account. Many times I have checked a small business's opening times on Google Maps only to arrive and find them closed... the only place they reliably post their times is on Instagram.<p>I gave up and got Instagram.</p>

<p>To visually compare characters you need to map them to glyphs; what is the glyphset and how much of Unicode does it actually cover?</p>

<p>It only seems to work for some subset of CJK characters. I haven't been able to figure out why some work and some don't.<p>For instance 叱 and 明 both seem to fail in the same way:  U+1F996 T-REX in the upper left corner and the URL fragment fails to update.</p>

<p>I do see a handful of people using non-ASCII identifiers in their code, but that's rare. Much more common is explanatory comments, docstrings, etc. in the local language. To require those to be ASCII would be a non-starter.</p>

<p>Creator of Orgro here.<p>> they only support a tiny subset of the format<p>I think Orgro's parser[0] is pretty complete at this point. If you can find an Org syntax that Orgro doesn't support, please let me know.<p>However I should be very clear here:<p>> they can't support any of the features that require the rest of emacs to be present which is a lot of of the value<p>This is absolutely true and unlikely to change anytime soon. As I'm sure you know, parsing the syntax correctly is not at all the same as supporting all of the features built on top of the AST.<p>[0]: <a href="https://github.com/amake/org_parser" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/amake/org_parser</a></p>

<p>This is the modern-day equivalent of asking the genie from the magic lamp for something, and getting something else that meets the letter but not the spirit of the request.<p>The smart thing to do is realize you don't know what you're doing, and don't rely on the genie at all. Or hire someone who knows how to tame the genie. Or whatever; someone else put it better: you fucked around and you found out. lol</p>

<p>I publish an app to the App Store, Google Play, and F-Droid. For years, F-Droid took absolute <i>ages</i> to reflect a new release.<p>People used to criticize the walled gardens for having capricious reviewers and slow review times, but I found F-Droid much more frustrating to get approval from and <i>much</i> slower to get a release out.<p>So this development is much appreciated. In fact I had an inkling that build times had improved recently when an update made it out to F-Droid in only a day or two.</p>
