TIL that Mono is a Microsoft project. I always thought it was an open source reverse engineered .NET

Coming back half a year later to see this comment. Thank you for thank link. I would love to help out!

There’s also LiteIDE

Table locks can be a real pain. You know you need to do the change, but the system is constantly running queries towards it. Now days it’s a bit easier with algorithm=inplace and lock=none, but in the good old days you were on your own. Your only friend was luck. Large migrations like that still gives me shivers

Been using Qwant for maybe a year or so. Recently found Swisscows too. I am not sure if Qwant uses their own index.

Speaking of LaTeX, I really recommend LyX. You don’t need to know any LaTeX to use it, and the result is always satisfying
