???? Pumpkin carving night aboard Pino.

Nekojiru pumpkin!

I still receive Urbit's newsletter, even tho I have long lost interest(tiel/crypto/javascript 3 strikes ???? ), I clicked through their latest email to see what they were up to, where they were going.

Their current focus is building an electron wrapper for their system. And even tho I have no sympathy for the project - it makes me feel a bit of despair as there are so few people trying to build new stacks, and I wonder why/how you can even go from "let's make a clean slate OS", to "on Electron"..

@syntacticsugarglider @nik Just draw immediate UI for cross-platform, it's what I do with Uxn, easy as shit.

@csepp @syntacticsugarglider @nik immediate mode doesn't necessarily draw new frames every tick. And it doesn't impact screen reader either.

@csepp @syntacticsugarglider @nik I think it's a pretty "old fashion" way of doing it, and back then might have been quite a hassle to setup.

I feel bad to always bring uxn into the conversation, but.. it's the only thing I know..

Send selected words(interface, or text body) of an immediate-ui drawn application, directly to a t2s engine and speak the words out.

@csepp @syntacticsugarglider @nik It's so terribly simple that I've been doubting the entire notion that persistent UI is the way to go, if anything it makes that sort of thing a lot more difficult.

@csepp @syntacticsugarglider @nik Do you mean like pressing tab to go to the next option? Or speaking a command and selecting that option?
