Imagine this: it's Sunday afternoon at 1pm, and you want to watch some live content. But you don't have a TV subscription. So you do a little Googling, and eventually you find yourself on a sketchy website where you can watch the content you're looking for. But while the website has a video player, it's surrounded by advertisements, and probably a cryptominer too. You don't want this website eating your CPU for 2 hours while you're watching your favorite Sunday afternoon content.

Wouldn't it be nice if you could watch that video in VLC instead? Then you can close the sketchy website and still watch your content. It's like having your cake and taking a bite of it too!

Here's how you do it:

Capture the m3u8 request in dev tools. Open the site (or just the iframe, if possible) in DevTools and click "play." Search the network tab for m3u8 and grab the first request.
Run VLC with command line flags to set the User Agent and Referrer. From the request body, you need to copy the requested URL,

Unicode Characters & Emojis

A character is an overloaded term that can mean many things. This gist will briefly touch on the differences between Code Point, Code Unit, Grapheme and Glyph, with a particular focus on emojis.

Tip

Use [Full Emoji Support For All Websites][emoji] to ensure correct rendering of all emoji graphemes on any website.

Stuff I wish I'd known sooner about service workers

I recently had several days of extremely frustrating experiences with service workers. Here are a few things I've since learned which would have made my life much easier but which isn't particularly obvious from most of the blog posts and videos I've seen.

I'll add to this list over time – suggested additions welcome in the comments or via twitter.com/rich_harris.

Use Canary for development instead of Chrome stable

~~Chrome 51 has some pretty wild behaviour related to console.log in service workers. Canary doesn't, and it has a load of really good service worker related stuff in devtools.~~

Strictly Frameworks

Mobiledoc - github.com/bustle/mobiledoc-kit - framework to build editors with a standardized JSON structure
ShareDB - github.com/share/sharedb - framework to sync any JSON document using operational transforms, add real-time collaborative editing to anything else
Bangle.dev - github.com/bangle-io/bangle.dev - toolkit built for building editors, based on prosemirror

Abstracted Editors

These use separate document structures instead of HTML, some are more modular libraries than full editors
