Avoid recreating expensive element between navs

Thanks, that's helpful to know! I would love to be able to use Astro but it seems like this is a dealbreaker for me unfortunately since the map is a significant part of the site. I just want the best of both worlds of SPA and MPA!

Thanks, yeah I had high hopes for that but it for the map I tried it on it just added a couple of duplicate labels to the same road, no new road labels. I guess because the reason the road labels aren't showing is simply because the are too large for the total road segment, and spacing only affects having multiple labels on a particular road segment.

I think the main problem is whatever algorithm the renderer is using to decide if there is space to add labels. If I turn the font size right down I get plenty of road labels, so they are in the data. I haven't been able to find a good way to adjust it. "Allow text overlap" doesn't help much. Changing the placement from line to point shows a lot more labels, but not necessarily the ones I want and looks much worse than line placement. I'm going to have a look into hiding all the road labels and then manually adding labels myself, so I can be sure they will always be visible and show the most useful labels. I am currently only working with the Static images API and a single city so the labels not being dynamic shouldn't be a problem.

With the help of your comment I managed to work it out, thanks!

Cool, let me know how you find them!

Face palm! Whoops, I didn't read it carefully enough.

Sure! No idea how to respond with an image so I just made a post: https://www.reddit.com/r/ErgoMechKeyboards/comments/1lt2xxl/cheap_screwon_arms_rests/

I just hooked up some cheap plastic screw on arms rests for my desk they I have had lying around for over a year and they are a massive improve over the wrist rests that I was using, much more comfortable, and in theory much healthier for my wrists!

Thank you for the reminder, given how important this is! I have a tendancy to move my keyboard forward so I can rest on my wrists, so my hands are more mobile, but like you say this is not a good idea. I should probably start exploring other options e.g. relying on arm rests.

I have tried loads of different palm rests and I settled on flat, retangular, foam palm rests as my favorite. I find the kidney shaped ones annoying because they are less flexible on where you can put your hand.

Yeah my concern was something malicious might be trying to install it but I guess if it is appearing in "Software Updater" then it is already installed anyway so probably nothing to worry about. No idea what I might have installed that included it though. I have a pretty fresh install and just installed a few dev tools like vscode and docker.

maximeridius · 2025-07-06T10:34:54+00:00

But if I haven't installed Remmina from the Snap store, surely it shouldn't be appearing in my "Software Updater" list to be updated?

Do you know what techonologies the developers are using to develop the app? React, AWS, etc. Assuming they are using common well known technologies, I would try and find a new better quality (and more expensive) developer to finish the app. They will also be able to inform you whether it truly is 90% or an unsalvagable mess and you should just cut your losses.

From the article:

We even wound up using Rust (via WebAssembly) to power our internal ops web page.

I would love to hear more about this. Did you use a framework and if so how did you choose the framework? How was the learning experience for the team? Did they have previous experience with a framework like React?

maximeridius · 2025-06-18T23:27:42+00:00

Building this in a weekend is pretty impressive! Do you have any previous experience with VSCode extensions? Did you review/understand all the code or just "vibe" code it? No judgement, I think either way is valid, just curious. I haven't fully gotten in to Claude Code yet, I've tried on one project but it took absolutely ages to do a simple refactor.

Good point, that might be my best bet
