An app that lets me point a camera on a piece of paper on my desk, and live vectorizes my sketches to a web UI so I can screen share or reference afterwards. Does this exist?

I assume you mean a public knowledge base for users? Because we have internal knowledge bases already under Brains 🧠.

A lot of my "regrets" aren't necessarily regrets but choicestradeoffs, and if they wouldn't be a regret I'd be in a totally different place right now. This isn't true for all things, but it puts a lot in perspective. (Personal experience of course)

Is there a way to refresh *all* once props from the client? I know I can do it with reload({ only: […] }), but then I'd need to explicitly pass all keys.

If you're willing to host on something more like a "traditional server", most webservers (nginx, apache) have server side includes in some shape or form.

Will YouTube kill the podcast industry?
The podcast industry has long relied on the open nature of RSS to sustain a variety of small businesses. But that could all disappear if YouTube wins.

Once per session is a better description. The existing closure syntax only applies to partial reloads. I want certain (shared) page props to persist when clicking an Inertia <Link> from /page/a to /page/b.

Sebastian De Deyne @sebdd.net · 27/02/2025
Yeah that would work, but then we need to manage cache invalidation on the server. Could do both too, but caching on the client is less error-prone and cache rules can be managed by the client (refresh and you get fresh data in the worst case)
