If I understood you right, some terminal emulators support this:

In some cases, GDB allows reverse execution of code:

As per https://github.com/qjcg/awesome-typst#graphics there is CeTZ. Of course it is not as full-fledged as TikZ, but it works pretty well.

Do you have by chance an idea how the rich-content plugins might work with markdown?

Tables could just be HTML, but stuff like Gnuplot diagrams or GraphViz graphs need to store their input data aswell as the actual rendered image.

Thanks for mentioning markor, I was searching for something similar! How do you sync your notebook between your phone and your computer, if you don't mind me asking?

Haha, this isn't very hacker news but I bought a usb stuck with a usb-c port on one side and a usb3 port on the other. Copy and paste.

No third party apps, just my version of sneaker-net.

Great! Whatever gets your job done.

Syncthing

Back when I was searching for a good note-taking system, each and everyone of them had one feature that I wanted that was missing. Zim Wiki was the first system I decided to stick with, and after 4+ years I never gravely missed anything. However, if you don't like organizing your stuff hierarchically, your experience might differ. Also, I kinda dig the desktop-centric approach. It feels more like a real tool than just some kind of "app".

Because it's written in python it is comparatively easy to extend and through its integrated web server you can serve up your notes with a custom design in no time.

Zim is awesome and did everything I used to use Evernote for but run on mobile. The notes are kept in plain text, so there’s no lock in. I am glad to know that the author is out there and released the code for us, because that will be usable so long as the necessary Python version is usable (lol).

This might be a little odd but I get a very “homey” vibe from the program, like, there are parts that aren’t as polished and improvements are slow and steady over the years, but there’s something of personal touch that makes it charming to use.

Yes, that was Munich with its LiMux project.

Incidentally and possibly unrelated, the project was abandoned after Microsoft moved their headquarters back into Munich.

Another synth I find quite fascinating because it is very visual about what it is doing is Helm: https://tytel.org/helm/

It lets you modulate almost every control the synth has, and it certainly helped me to understand how synths work.

The same developer released a new synth plugin “Vital” last fall, which also has great visuals and modulation.

This, a million times. I love Helm, but Vital utterly thrashes it. If you do any sort of music in any capacity, you owe it to yourself to have it in your VST folder.

Vital was also open-sourced recently!

It's only flaw is the name since there is a terminal application called helm...

To be fair, Helm the synth predates helm the k8s package manager.

Re: modulating all the things, Bitwig is pretty great (compare to Ableton)

On Linux there is https://github.com/pdfarranger/pdfarranger It has a nice UI and is pretty easy to use.

The current workaround for this would be to use an app like IPWebcam and route the network traffic over USB with adb, then ffmpeg it into v4l2loopback on your computer.

I have been using an old smartphone as webcam for quite some time now, and I got to say it works quite well. The only problem is the power supply, because video recording draws a lot of power it drains the battery even when it's plugged in.

Of course, an out of the box solution with UVC would be much nicer!
