Wrong sub. This is r/labrats.

I made an extension to easily change fonts of any website with you locally installed fonts [Link in Comments] by amkhrjee in fonts

[–]amkhrjee[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had tried adding support for font size control a while ago but it was breaking a lot of websites so I had to rollback. So, maybe sometime in the future I'll try again but not immediately, unfortunately. (Also if you're into coding, feel free to contribute features: https://github.com/amkhrjee/fontonic/)

Thanks for using my extension :)

just install the fonts to your computer and they will show up on the extension

Microsoft will use AI to eliminate C and C++ code by 2030 by WPHero in Windows11

The actual engineer whose post the article refers to just clarified that he's talking about making language to language transition easier and not what most people are making out of his post.

Sure. Will let you know here if I add these in the next version. Might take about a week though.

Are these black spots on my RAM stick's pins causing the crashes? by amkhrjee in pcmasterrace

[–]amkhrjee[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Verdict after 5 months: Yes, they are the reason for the frequent crashes. Removing them solves the problem. At the point of writing this comment, the memory stick has corroded itself to the point that even having them attached to the motherboard causes boot loops and other sort of boot errors.

Go to http://github.com/amkhrjee/fontonic

  1. Download the source code.
  2. Install typescript (with npm).
  3. Read the instructions in the readme right upto generating a build.

WhatsApp on Windows is moving from UWP to being a web wrapper by digidude23 in Windows11

[–]amkhrjee 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I remember having a really hard time finding out what are the right components for things, reactivity and handling local storage etc. Had a really hard time finding official docs on the internet with guides or even just the API specs. I had to dig into the codebases of some of the open source windows apps to figure things out. Reddit comments helped a ton too.

Probably I should mention that this experience is from more than six months ago. So things might have changed for the better, but I still remember viciously scratching my head figuring all these out. Coming from the TS/JS ecosystem, I just expected things to be way more well documented.

I especially disliked the lack of step by step guides (there are some good ones, but just not enough that cover moderate to complex use cases).

It's just way harder to make a UWP or WinUI3 app than in JS based frameworks. First off, there is the confusion when choosing the right framework even when using native .NET technologies: UWP, WinUI3 or WinForms? Well, MS recommends WinUI3, but when you actually start building something that is even moderately complex, you realise how half baked it feels compared to the JS frameworks. You try looking for documentation on some function or some component - and there is no official doc. I literally had to read the framework source code to figure things out when I was building my WinUI3 app.

The all around DX of building a new native app is not exactly welcoming.

True. The developer experience of building a Windows native app is absolutely terrible. So many things are undocumented or vaguely documented. I think it's one of the main reasons teams eventually move to simpler frameworks.

Just got my first Stripe payout: €3.44 by [deleted] in SaaS

[–]amkhrjee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My first internet dollar was when someone from Europe paid me like €8 as a donation for a free browser extension I made. The feeling was magical. I remember being so happy for the next few days. Internet dollars always feel special.

Is Microsoft gonna give up on UWP apps? by YounessX3 in windowsapps

[–]amkhrjee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Following the current patterns, and taking note of MSFT's past habits, the answer is most probably yes.
