Sounds like you had an unfair advantage!

Minor suggestion: the article refers to a RHEL 6 developer guide section about static linking. Maybe a more recent article can be used (if their viewpoint hasn't changed).

Spotting and removing, yes.

Writing the damn book should be the job of the author.

I'm not the one you asked, but maybe this is helpful:

I learnt Janet after learning Clojure, and it all felt very natural. So a possible approach is to grab a beginner Clojure book/tutorial first, run some of the examples, and then see how far you get with Janet.

Not everything is the same, but you'll find that out along the way, and the people in the Janet Zulip chat are always super helpful.

Also check out https://janetdocs.com for some examples.

You can use yt-dlp to get:

- the channel id by youtube channel url

- the duration + aspect ratio (<= 3 min + vertical = short)

- whether or not it's a live / future video

New comment by harryvederci in "Show HN: FTWA – Turn any website into an app"

harryvederci — Tue, 15 Oct 2024 05:36:28 +0000

Cool stuff!

@mathix maybe you can make it clear on the website that this doesn't create app/play store apps, as most people probably think about them when they read "turn any website into an app".

From the github readme[0]:

> FTWA uses the --app='https://app.example' parameter with Chromium-based browsers to launch a website in "app mode".

> [...]

> When choosing linux as target OS, FTWA generate a shell script that will create a .desktop file and it's icons.
