Who said you can't write your own rich text editor from scratch in #JavaFx. I made it for my side project. Now it will be even easier for others, because JavaFx24 already has an experimental component that handles this.

It took me several months (after day job) to create the first version. It is not a WebView or RichTextFx, I had to take care of everything from the scratch (how the caret should blink, how to navigate between characters using the keyboard, how the undo/redo action should be implemented). Even though it was almost a year ago, this is the part of my project that I am most proud of.

It may still have some issues, but you can check out how it works at keepmark.io/.

My esteemed followers, you have posted a total of 375,809 statuses to the #fediverse. 22% of you have posted in the last 24h. You are a chatty bunch! ;-)

Check out my new #sideproject: *fedi-followers*. A privacy-friendly fediverse #followers explorer as #localonly #staticwebapp, decentrally hosted on the #ipfs. See who's actually following (and unfollowing) you over time and much more.

Dejadme compartir el #sideproject en el que ando ahora, y que tiene mucho que ver con el #fediverso:

- La idea gira en torno a "Quizá los medios no estén en Mastodon. Las noticias sí"
- He creado la instancia masto.news
- No se trata de replicar noticias con RSS, sino de darle un criterio periodístico y de actualidad

Tengo tres cuentas ya:
- @politica_esp
- @baloncesto
- @vigo

Os animo a seguirlas y a darme feedback. Tengo pendiente un post, pero no podía aguantarme más :blobparty:

A little #sideProject I play with is making little #battery "surrogates" or dummy batteries. They let you debug circuit power issues or design goals, or let you make a battery-powered device into a much longer-lived device by using a larger battery or power supply.

They've been very useful for me, so I share them a bit too.

I've just recently made a #CR1632 sized one which is quite a challenge to fabricate. It's very tiny with tinier routing channels.

@raccoonforfriendicaapp version 0.4.0-beta05 available for testing!

This is mainly a maintenance/bugfix release with no brand new features, just:
- chore(l10n): translation updates;
- fix(10n): format specifier used in hashtag list;
- chore(qa): add more unit tests;
- chore: add mentions of new contributors.

I'm setting up the process to be able to distribute the app on Google Play too. If you are willing to help, we need a minimum number of people to participate in the closed testing program for two weeks before releasing to production. To enroll, first join this group with the same email address you are going to use on Google Play, then download the app using this invitation link.

Any help is highly appreciated! #livefasteatrash

@raccoonforfriendicaapp new version 0.4.0-beta04 available for testing!

Changelog:
- fix for a bug after adding/removing a post to favorites which led to lose custom emojis;
- fix spacing between post and reply placeholders when using the new Card layout;
- fix a minor accessibility issue with the new audio player;
- fix crash when rendering some HTML posts;
- fix "floating" (overlapping) images for embedded contents;
- localization updates (included support for upcoming Romanian translation);
- library updates.

I think we are almost ready for the 0.4 version. In the meantime I've submitted both Raccoon apps to Google Play so I may be needed some volunteers to participate in the closed testing program before the apps can be made available to the general public.

Happy New Year and remember to #livefasteatrash
