A developer released TeXbrain, a free open-source LaTeX editor that runs a WebAssembly port of pdfTeX (via SwiftLaTeX) so documents compile to PDF directly in the browser with no server involved. It also supports opening local project folders, syncing with git, and pushing to GitHub, all within a single browser tab. Packages beyond the common ones bundled with the app are fetched on demand from a TeX Live mirror and cached for offline reuse.
A new Entrepreneur contributor piece argues that YouTube channels typically fail not from a lack of content ideas but from unrealistic workflows that don't account for the true time investment required. The article identifies video editing, optimizing for YouTube's search algorithm, and interpreting analytics as the three biggest time drains for creators. It recommends automating repetitive tasks, batching work, and outsourcing to professionals as ways to reclaim hours lost to these processes.
The developer of the bine hex editor explored adding colorized output similar to Vim's xxd, but found that per-character coloring was too costly under the ncurses-based movwin TUI framework. Instead, bine now uses special block characters (▓ for NUL bytes, ░ for non-printable bytes) in the ASCII column to visually distinguish text from binary data without expensive per-cell rendering calls.
