FWIW, you might also consider Firefox's built-in reader view, which can be configured to use a dark theme.

It could probably use a review comparing with Planet Coaster 2.

I'm partial to a prickle of porcupines.

I noticed a change in your titles a few days ago. What happened to "until l forget to post Screenshots"? I don't think you forgot, did you?

Qt is still the only excellent cross-platform desktop GUI framework.

It's a pity that its current custodian's commercial licenses:

  • are subscriptions
  • are painfully expensive for a solo developer or small group
  • have a reputation for triggering legal threats and badgering from The Qt Company if one ever wants to end their subscription or (separately) use the open-source license for a FOSS project

This situation makes me afraid to use their commercial offerings, which in turn means they won't get any money from me at all; I feel that I can safely use their libs only in open-source code. Their business model is their decision, of course, but I can't help wondering if their whale-hunting approach actually nets them more money than a more accessible, lower-cost, one-time (or one-major-version) license option would. In many other industries, high sales volume reaps more profits than high price.

Thank goodness for the KDE Free Qt Foundation.

To be fair, OSS is not comparable to a sound server, and some people have a genuine need for one.

(I'll never endorse PulseAudio, though; it's garbage.)

I wish we had generic links for posts and comments like we do for communities. It's problematic in several ways to have to follow an URL like this one:

Looks like others have noticed the problem as well:

Yes, this is the way.
