  • Using Vim on other people’s computers may not always work. I know someone who remapped ‘next match’ from ‘n’ to something else, though --clean helps with such configurations.

    Also, nano may not always be installed.

    The safest way to edit a file on someone else’s machine for a emacs “user” might be something like emacs -q || nano || vim --clean || vi --clean || vi, assuming a sane shell. (the || vi --clean step is probably unnecessary, becuse if it’s supported, it’s just vim, which would then also be available)




  • It might be pretty difficult to implement the work part of proof of work without JS in a practical way. Of the three languages available on the web, HTML, CSS & JS (+ WebAssembly, which requires a bit of JS IIRC & would probably not be available) JS is the only one that allows you to perform the work in a sane way. (It might be possible to use CSS magic with remote resources, but that has its own problems if it’s even possible.)

    It would be possible to use a dedicated program or another website to perform the work, but it would be far from seamless to users.
