That only works if those colleagues care about what you think of them

Some sites can be very simple and yet quite useful. For example https://rawdiary.com/ always impresses me with its speed.

One of them has that “scrambled visual keyboard” for an 8-digit password, and at the same time proposes a passkey as an alternative on desktop. Go figure.

Also datalist is nice but most the time we need a “select” (so users can’t submit anything not in the list), but select doesn’t have search/filtering like datalist has.

Technically native selects do have a very rudimentary form of filtering: start typing text with the select focused and it will auto-select the first matching option.

E.g. if the select is a list of US states, type "N" and it will jump to Nebraska. Continue into "New" and you'll get New Hampshire, etc.

This is better than nothing (and I personally use it all the time) but not a patch on an actual proper select-with-filtering which, yes, you still need JS to implement properly.

In my experience it’s been the case for years. I’ve been paying for Kagi instead to solve this.

For what it’s worth, I think there’s space for such an app for Duckdb databases. It’s growing in popularity and not very widely supported yet.

Well I never heard of it before so I appreciate it

Right, they probably have an employee on site 24/7 for every piece of track they use. It’s a mystery why they didn’t think of calling them.

Your method involves the loss of at least one train before action is taken.

Everyone already has a Github account. Just having to make an account on Codeberg/Sourcehut is enough of a barrier.

I guess it depends on each other’s bubble. In France my perception is that most messaging is on Whatsapp. Not that I’m happy about that…
