-
-See https://github.com/alexpdp7/scripts-py-libs
-
-- A tool to run stuff such as CI builds which need sophisticated parallelization
-- Create differently sized resource pools (for CPU-bound tasks, "API"-bound, etc.)

+* Simple web proxy
-- A program to manage long running processes
-- Acts as a bot in IRC, email, Slack, etc. posting when the job is done, providing updates, etc.
-- Starts an xterm.js to watch the output
+- Proxy + web frontend that does ~chromium --headless --dump-dom $URL --virtual-time-budget=10000 | w3m -T text/html -dump~
+- Perhaps pluggable DOM manipulation
* Better "smart TV" experience

-
-https://github.com/alexpdp7/ubpkg/ (also discusses some alternatives)

-
-- A language similar to AsciiDoc...
-- But with a well-defined AST
-- Complex nested lists
-- Styling of code blocks (highlighting, user input, replaceable...)

+* Databases in text markup documents
-That's probably https://github.com/MaterializeInc/materialize , but it's not OSS.
+- Embed queries of tables
-- Simple relational database
-- Can act as replication target of other databases
-- Supports a limited SQL subset that can be easily reasoned about functional dependencies
-- Can stream efficiently the results of an SQL query (e.g. keep a query running and receive new/modified rows)
-- Supports efficient replication of a subset of a database (initial checkpoint + streaming or batched updates)
-- Functional dependencies could be used to create materialized views *and* indexes
+See https://github.com/alexpdp7/pandocsql https://github.com/alexpdp7/pandoc_datalog

- Declarative join via foreign key constraint names
- Better ordering for code completion (e.g. FROMs first)

+- Supports efficient replication of a subset of a database (initial checkpoint + streaming or batched updates)

-- A Haskell/Rusty language, but with GC and nice compiler errors.
-- First-class support for AST transforms- both one-off (apply this transform to the source code and commit the change) and ongoing (define AST transforms to run as part of the compilation process).
-- Maybe such language would never need reflection, so refactoring would be very safe.
+* Ecosystem for mountable e-ink displays with wireless charging and magnets
+
+- For example, a small e-ink tablet that you can attach to a wireless charger with magnets in your fridge, with an always-on display of a shopping list, and a microphone to add new items.
+- The tablet is completely optional, can be replaced by a different device, etc.
+- How to have flexibility, such as different form factors and still provide a pleasant and pretty experience? (e.g. can you attach displays of different sizes to the same fridge and have it usable and look good?)
