Same happened to me, but only once so far!

3/ I'd been hoping Affinity Serif would make a competitor to Lightroom, but... that no longer looks like a possibility.

2/ I like the idea of managing my RAW photos as normal files, and presumably building an Obsidian plugin to handle RAW preview and the (intentionally very limited) kinds of edits I'd want. But not obvious to me whether Obsidian is a reasonable foundation for that purpose.

I hadn't! I like the design and direction.

Security is the main barrier for me... just a mostly-arbitrary hunch that a web browser needs at least one "security person" on payroll. 😥

Otherwise, I'd love to try Horse Browser too!

3/ With all that done, though, it works great! Enjoying the tab-stacking feature. And it's nice to be using a browser with healthier incentives again.

2/ ... I've been using Vivaldi the past few weeks, and I think that's going to be the move. In contrast to Arc: with Vivaldi I did have to change a fair number of default settings to get comfortable. Move tabs to the sidebar, update some hotkeys, disable the page-changes-sidebar-color thing.

I think generating types might also have been a blocker but I don't recall exactly on that... my view of the options for library authors, otherwise, is essentially this:

Thanks! I realize my complaint above was vague, and no pressure to address this, but just in case it's helpful: the most recent issue that blocked me from using Vite's (current) library mode was related to sourcemaps:

github.com/vitejs/vite/...

I didn't realize `deno bundle` existed! That's very interesting option, thanks, I'll need to try this out. :)

Node.js v20+ test runner could replace the unit testing dependency tree, too:

nodejs.org/api/test.html

Vite+ (source-available, free for OSS) would presumably do all of that in one dependency? Though I haven't found Vite (have not tried Vite+) to be as good for bundling libraries as for building applications, so far.

Currently I'm using: biome, ava, c8, microbundle, and typescript. But even that short list gets a pretty regular stream of small updates and dependabot 'vulnerabilities' requiring updates across various repositories.
