I launched NumPad v1 on here a few years ago, and back then it wasn't much more than a thin CodeMirror wrapper around the calculator engine I'd written. Now I've rewritten it as a PWA that supports multiple documents, persists them to IndexedDB, and has a syncing service for paying customers. Syncing is handled by Automerge[1] under the hood, which should make it relatively easy to get document sharing working too. [1] https://automerge.org/

Hi HN, Francesco from Cua here. I hacked this project together last weekend, inspired by the Codex Computer-Use release and lessons learned from deploying GUI-operating agents for our customers. The main problem: when a UI automation process controls a desktop app today, it usually takes over the human’s session. Your cursor moves, keyboard focus gets stolen, windows jump to the front, and you have to stop working until the agent is done. That is why we have historically avoided encouraging users to run these processes directly on their host machine, instead relying on VMs or GUI containers…

I wrote this intermediate-level book as a showcase of various FOSS, mostly command line tools. I'm a nuclear engineer and found myself teaching other nuclear, mechanical, and electrical engineers these tools again and again, so I wanted to package them into book form. I attempted to make it even broader interest, so it's not just about engineering. In the end, it's a fairly eclectic set of topics. Anyway, after selling for a few years, I just decided to release a slightly updated version of it in full for free. You'll find full HTML, PDF and ePub versions (all built with Sphinx) at the link.
