Essential reading. More in-depth than an introduction, but without being overly impenetrable except to those dealing with the internals.


Thanks for tip, I've always wondered what was the root cause of those occasional stutters, specially since I often speed up videos


My pet peeve is with the still half finished look, it jumps out as really garish now to when you open the dev tools and see the clashing styles or the bookmarks/history dialog that hasn't been updated in ages.

Not to mention the white title bar in some dialogs even with dark mode enabled.

Might affect (dumb) uses that rely on the current increasing version number scheme in user agent strings and package/deployment scripts.


User agent strings are progressively being frozen, so that shouldn’t affect anything.


if you strip out the periods, it’s still an increasing numbering scheme, assuming there’s fewer than 10 minor releases in a month, which seems highly likely.


The Proposal for encoding the Phaistos Disc characters[1] lists the motivation behind including it (and rebutes some counter arguments). Principally, lots of publications discussing the Phaistos Disc would use it:

> Phaistos Disc characters, whether syllables, or letters, or board-game dingbats, have historical and cultural significance, as attested in the large number of publications dealing with it. As noted above, the Wikipedia has articles about the Phaistos Disc in ten languages. The 30+ documents listed in the bibliography in this proposal are by no means the only documents printed which deal with the Phaistos Disc characters. The English Wikipedia article gives Phaistos Disc characters inline in text as well as in tables (Figure 8). Other documents exist which present the Phaistos Disc characters either inline (Figure 8) or in tables (Figures 1, 2, 5, 6, 7). It is true that the image of the Phaistos Disc itself is easy to represent with simple drawing (see Figure 3) but the discussion of its characters inline in Latin text is not.

Thanks! I was poking around trying to figure it out, but did not find this.


This looks really nice, do you have plans to implement text search of note contents? No matter how methodical I get with tags and hierarchies, nothing beats search for recall.


It's the feature I'm working on as we speak :)


The search has landed :)


How to people usually get around file downloads and initial page loads with JWTs (besides signed urls), since you can't control and preempt these requests to also send the JWT?

My guess would be yes since there's this for Chrome: https://github.com/davidhampgonsalves/foxish

Since Firefox's WebExtension API is a close superset to Chrome's API, I would wager this could be easily ported now.
