Like the idea but it spawns a terminal on startup on Mac and is not WYSIWYG (like Obsidian). Hope this project develops into usable state soon.

Thanks for reporting! This is a packaging issue - need to create a proper .app bundle. On the roadmap for v0.3.0 (macOS signing & notarization). For now, running from terminal is the workaround.

Would this kind of bug have been catched by the Rust compiler?

I was wondering about this myself. My guess is no, since AFAIK the only way to do this sort manual memory management is to use unsafe code. But there's also things like the (bumpalo)[https://docs.rs/bumpalo/latest/bumpalo] crate in Rust, so maybe you wouldn't need to do this sort of thing by hand, in which case you're as leak-free as the bumpalo crate.

By this reasoning aphantasiacs should be incapable of drawing anything from their mind.


They can, but the representations are much simpler, often lacking visual detail and leaning on written labels:

Maybe fight fire with fire and respond as default with a non-sensical question and see if the bug reporter responds genuinely confused or happily tries to engage in a non-sense convo…


I am working on a visual search & exploration engine: https://digger.lol

The goal is to create beautiful and useful maps of interesting data, empowering the user to explore more intuitively guided by semantic similarity. No user data needs to be tracked for this to work, the data speaks for itself.

This roughly works by translating semantic (visual or textual) similarity into spatial proximity. Diggers major features are: semantic mapping, text search and image search. The text and image search works bidirectionally, allowing to search for images (e.g. product images) using text and for text (e.g. books) using images.



I thought import names and PyPI names are not always equal, thus this can not work reliably, right?


It uses this file which maps import names to package names, but it's only 1152 packages and I'm not sure how it was generated. https://github.com/bndr/pipreqs/blob/master/pipreqs/mapping


In fairness that only seems to list those packages where the import name doesn't match the package name (e.g., it doesn't include numpy) so its overall coverage is a lot larger than that.


Even worse, there are some different PyPI packages with the same import name. For example, `import snappy` is probably referring to the compression library https://pypi.org/project/python-snappy/ but it could be this maths package https://pypi.org/project/snappy/


I agree a loading indicator (spinner f.e.) is needed, I was confused when nothing happened. Also big yes on for a reset / delete feature.
