The actual writing process mostly takes place on the über-minimalist Dotpad 9000, created out of frustration with having to look at all the bells and whistles of normal text-editor apps. Interaction between the server and the author is mediated by HTMX, because i’m too grug-brained to understand React.

Matthias Geiger: Enforcing darkmode for QT programs under a non-QT based environment
