Meta Platforms has a market capitalization (net worth) of approximately $1.44 trillion as of June 2026, and it can't build a native WhatsApp for Windows?! WhatsApp originally debuted on PCs as a web app, then they worked on a native Windows app for years, and it was the best app in the Windows Store. Last year, Meta dumped the native Windows app in favor of a web wrapper.

Someone built a Chromium browser that runs entirely in your terminal. It's called Carbonyl, and it renders actual web pages in your command line. The best part is it runs with 0% CPU usage when idle. - Full Chromium engine in the terminal. - dles at exactly 0% CPU. - Fast, lightweight, and completely terminal-native. 100% Open Source.

introducing >molly a terminal-native discord client discord is slow, heavy, and resource hungry - a browser wrapped in electron, burning your ram just to chat. molly fixes that open your terminal, type molly, and you're in discord. no browser. no app. no bloat. btw this is opensource :)

Would you like to run a web browser in your terminal? Carbonyl is a Chromium-based browser written in Rust that does just that! Give it a try and read about how it was made: PS: You can use it to run Doom too 🤯

WhatsApp for Windows uses more memory than many expect. A recent report found that the app can consume over 1.2 GB of RAM after opening and switching between chats. The issue began after Meta replaced the older native Windows app with a WebView2-based version, While this simplifies development, it also makes the app heavier and less efficient. Users have complained about slower performance, delayed notifications, and the app continuing to run in the background even after closing the window. he old native version used much less memory and performed better.

Taps X link. Opens in app browser. Prompts to open in Safari. Prompts to open on X. Opens app store instead. Taps “Open” in app store. Opens X, no memory of origin link. I know you get tagged a billion times a day, but Nikita Bier, I’m really really trying to use your app.

RustGIS is now on PyPI: pip install rustgis RustGIS is a fast, free and open-source GIS in pure Rust for mapping, analyzing and sharing geospatial data. It runs natively on Windows, macOS and Linux, and in your web browser. Your data stays on your machine unless you send it to an AI model you choose, and every action is a command you can script. The new rustgis Python package brings the RustGIS engine into Python and the full RustGIS app into your Jupyter notebook, with no server to run and nothing else to install. What you can do - The engine in-process: open the same data the app opens, run any of RustGIS's commands and geoprocessing tools, style layers and render maps, all from Python. - GeoPandas in and out: turn any layer into a GeoDataFrame, or add a GeoDataFrame as a layer. - The whole app in a notebook cell: shows the ribbon, panes and map right below your code. - Two-way sync: what Python adds or styles appears in the app, and what you pan, edit or add in the app comes back to Python. - Projects that travel: save a .rgis project from Python and open it as it is in the desktop app or the web app. - Runs where you work: JupyterLab, Jupyter Notebook, VS Code and Google Colab, with prebuilt wheels for Windows, macOS and Linux. Get started in three lines: import rustgis m = m Try it out - Open the getting-started notebook in Colab: - PyPI: - Python guide: - Launch the web app: - GitHub: #GIS #Rust #Python #Jupyter #OpenSource #Geospatial
