PAIP is easily one of my favourite programming books. It’s chapter after chapter of excellently presented programming. Each chapter takes you through a problem, a solution (typically multiple iterations and extensions) with detailed explanations of what’s happening (often with historical details). Also, it introduced me to many different tools I can use to solve programming problems.
Nice example, note to do autocomplete with something neural based these days like https://text-generator.io or huggingface or spelling with neuspell etc
Peter did done great ground work here and as things transitioned to neural nets, also peter appears randomly in my Chromecast with some nice photos he took lol
I was also looking for a way to better visualize text as a set of notes while still using markdown and .txt, then I came up with the idea "Sticky notes + Markdown + Tabs, All in one .txt file"[1].
It's nothing fancy, just a prototype using electron and vanilla javascript, but it might be useful.
I have thought about an eventual web version but more as a visualization tool for sharing files over the internet.
The idea was to be an offline-first app for privacy reasons, but I'll take a look at the file system support in the browser extension API, it might be a more accessible alternative.
