I’m using HTMX and Hyperscript exclusively for interactivity and I’m loving the simplicity of it.
Problems of FAANG are not our problems, yet they've somehow convinced majority of software architects that complexity is good.
My only concern is when I use HTMX/Hyperscript in my FOSS projects will others be comfortable contributing to it even though it has very little learning curve but they have to empty their React cup.
Congratulations for the project and for winning the hackathon, nicely done!
I am looking for hackable smart glasses with camera which doesn't rely upon any proprietary service to work, Mentra seems to have a camera version but this video seems to suggest that we need to use their service all the time?
Mentra Live is indeed a camera + speakers + microphone pair of lightweight smart glasses - that you can build for.
Mentra Live runs AugmentOS, so you can control all the I/O (camera, speakers, mic) in your own app with the AugmentOS SDK.
Regarding use the backend service all the time:
Most apps/developers connect through official AugmentOS.org servers and focus on building their apps, but you can self-host your own backend if you want.
Story telling is hard but one trick which has been really helpful to me is telling the history behind the actual invention of a mathematical concept, what was the problem, who solved it and how aids in understanding and memory than just bombard young minds with equations and tables.
When the governments all over the world are making their citizens download mobile apps I doubt whether there will be any regulation prohibiting hardware manufacturers forcing apps on consumers.
AR glasses brings great accessibility improvements, especially those who are bedridden; I wrote the need-gap for wearable low latency computer displays[1] ~6 years ago when I was in bed recovering from a spinal fusion surgery as the only option available to me were those unwieldy bed mounts for monitors and it requires help from others to adjust the angles.
I am partially bedridden ... so far mackbook air remoting to my desktop PC looks like the best solution - it's light, sturdy, stays cool, has decent resolution and excellent battery life. The only thing I don't like is non-standard keyboard.
Since when is having a laptop on your lap or by your side a problem in bed? That's my default wfh setup. I even have a 2nd monitor on a standard arm mounted to my bedrest for when I need it. I do also use Xreal One but only when I'm trying not to wake my partner.
to use a laptop you need to be sitting up. when you are bedridden many times you can't do that. and even healthy, sitting in bed with my legs stretched out is uncomfortable for longer periods of time. not to mention most people would balk at their partner doing that when they share a bed. consider yourself lucky. but do check that you are giving enough attention to your partner otherwise. i have at least one friend who got divorced specifically because he was more interested in computers than his wife.

The question was about a laptop as contrast to AR glasses. AR glasses are worse here.
I have deformities in my wrist and I have small palms (dwarfism) I’ve tried various kinds of mice; none of them were comfortable and settled on using a Wacom tablet as a trackpad.
Recently I started using Logitech Ergo M575 trackball mice and it has been total game changer, I can even play FPS games quite well with it. I highly recommend trackball for those with accessibility issues like me and certainly welcome more open hardware competitors in the space like Ploopy as customisation is crucial for accessibility.
