Naviary on youtube has made just that. Their videos are amazing, mostly going over the theory created by having an infinite chessboard ("mate in omega" and it's sequel are mind boggling), and some are about the technical aspects of implementing infinite chess. Highly recommend watching them.

Nowadays you're most likely to find an electron cashier than any other.

And just the effort of painting every one of those pixels one by one, it's not like we have some magic tool to fill an image with the same color and call it a day.

Uh, makes sense, thanks for clearing that up.

So in my case it actually is Xiaomi being Xiaomi, screwing it's power users, or any users in general.

Such a dumb restriction. I tried a new launcher a few weeks ago just to find out it would remove the gesture controls, which I'm already used to, had to go back to stock. I thought it was more of Xiaomi's attempts to lock you in to their shitty ecosystem; quite sad it is like that even on other devices.

I read about typst a few weeks ago. I no longer make math- or formatting-heavy documents anymore, but if I had had this while I was in university, I would've loved to use it.

LaTeX is nice, but there's some things that are an absolute pain to get right or make them look like you want to.

In recent times the developer has been showing some serious miscommunication and other issues regarding their apps. Just look at their terrible handling of the vulnerabilities found in their file manager's pdf reader (See his responses to the report)

Since around that time, I've been looking for alternatives to their apps, but I've kept using some of them because I couldn't find anything that feels as good to use. I guess now I'm forced to really look for those alternatives, or see if there's any serious fork that still gets actively maintained weeks from now.
