Google trends is similar, though it uses search terms. There's also ngram but it also uses books for pre-internet sources

Don't most roundabouts do this to a certain degree anyway, at least insofar as the lanes split before arriving at the roundabout.

Most in the UK are similar to the google map examples I posted, not like your first diagram.

In any case, you shouldn't be stopping before a roundabout unless it's particularly busy anyway; You're supposed to filter in with the existing traffic. This works best when you plan ahead and look at the traffic on the roundabout before you get there and adjust your speed to allow you to filter in without stopping.

This exists!

I've tried an android app called SMSmart that allows you to use texting to do basic google searches, get directions, and read Wikipedia. It also offers other functionality like news, places, and stocks. All done without data!

Apparently, there are some other apps out there that perform similar functions.

Here's an article that covers a few of them. Good luck!^Don't ^let ^your ^dreams ^be ^dreams...

Project Gutenberg has a few plays: https://www.gutenberg.org/wiki/Plays_(Bookshelf)

When I read the title, I thought you might have in mind a website for reading plays together with other people over video chat.

Done and Done Well - UserVoice.

Here is the UserVoice Forum for Clocking IT, a time tracking and project management app.

That sounds pretty similar to "Endgame: Singularity".

> Endgame: Singularity is a simulation of a true AI. Go from computer to computer, pursued by the entire world. Keep hidden, and you might have a chance.

SAMT (Somebody Already Made This). You can use musipedia.org's Melodic Contour for example. Not sure how robust the non-classical stuff is, but it's something...

BTW, the algorithm of up, down, same is called a Parsons Code.

You mean something like mpv :)

launch with --mute=no --no-osc --fs --keep-open

first arg is to unmute

second is to disable the on screen display ( minimal gui of mpv )

third to go fullscreen

last is optional will pause the player at the end of the video, default behaviour is to exit

if you run with windows you can add those parameters by default to the 'open with' : http://superuser.com/questions/361816/pass-command-line-arguments-to-windows-open-with

Or if too troublesome you can put these in a config file too, see mpv doc.

Edit : btw you can also launch vlc without gui, ( vlc -Irc ),

couldn't find unmute option though.

Fullscreen too : ( -f ). Etc. I'll let you search the rest.

Read The Fantastic Manual before complaining about the limits of an application :P

So there is a website out there (I'mma try and find it in me bookmarks): http://stackshare.io/stacks

If you can use some of its design, perhaps use its services through an API, and then use it in conjunction with a mapping service like Craigslist or Google Maps, and maybe add in LinkedIn into the picture, you would have a solid web service.

Make it before I beat you to it.

Habitica has most of the parts of this idea – it may be close enough for you. It’s a mobile app that lets you define tasks and how many points they are worth. Separately, the app has a customizable store where you can define the items for sale and how many points they cost. In your case, you could define a custom reward “$20”.

The difference from your idea is that Habitica’s rewards store doesn’t fulfill the reward by itself. When you buy a reward using your earned points, the app just gives you permission to give yourself the reward. So to implement your idea, you might create a separate bank account marked “future rewards” and put money there in advance. Then, when you buy your store’s custom reward “$20”, you might log into your bank’s website and move $20 of that money into your checking account.

In addition to motivating you by earning points in your custom store, Habitica has some RPG-themed features where “leveling up” by completing tasks earns you in-app cosmetic items for your character. The app also has in-app purchases that let you pay real money to buy those items instead. I never felt motivated by those cosmetic items, personally, but I’m sure some people would be.

An edible cowboy hat would be the best possible version, but here is an Amazon link to a hefty 2lb bag of Farley's gummy sombreros. Close enough in appearance to the traditional ten-gallon topper of roughneck bettin' types.

So, this: http://jsfiddle.net/kmk1018/7pt4wh2L/

You'll have to allow access to your web cam.

It's a JSFiddle, and it requires a decently modern browser. I only tested it in Chrome. It also doesn't stream anywhere; the camera stream is only local to your computer.

Also, you can take a look at the code. It's crazy simple.

Universal Search for FF or Chrome allows you to set up custom search engines which automatically pop up when highlighting text. No need for drag/drop.

CenterIM may be what you want. you'll have to compile version 5 though.

Bitlbee works through irc so you could use irssi if you want to put in the effort.

Thanks. But I need it for windows. I did an "Alternative to xScope" search and came up with some more alternatives, but they don't seem to do what I want.:

https://alternativeto.net/software/xscope/

I missed the browser part, but ChemDraw is industry standard, proprietary software suite that is quite expensive - think if each program in the adobe creative suite cost as much as the entire package. If anyone is a university student then there is a good chance that you have access to this software, but it is prohibitively expensive otherwise.

Just to expand on your original request, computational chemistry can be very resource intensive. The program features you highlighted appear to be somewhat whimsical or simple, but there can be an immense resource demand in both creating an application to serve such a broad purpose in chemistry along with the environment to run it. Getting that to work as a web app for a lot of cases would probably be pretty difficult.

That being said, the program chemsketch isn't a webapp, but it is a decent alternative to ChemDraw.

In my country (slovakia) we have "social network of companies". It pulls data from public databases such as "company register", tracks people in boards of companies, etc.. and you can see a links between people and organizations.

Here's a google translated link. It's pretty simple.. just a showcase probably. Because it's somewhat practice here to own multiple small companies with your best buddies.

Kinda sorta like this. Somebody in reddit created it after they saw it from another site I think. Here is the original thread.

I have created a Groovy script that pretty much copies what Wordmark.it does: GitHubGist

The script will look up all the fonts available on your system. With that information a temporary HTML file is created and launched in your default browser.

To run the script you need to have Groovy installed. Alternatively I could compile the script into a JAR which will only require Java to be installed.

Try StackEdit. It integrates with Google Drive. You can then export your Drive document to Word, if you really want to. If all you want to do is convert a Markdown document to Word format there are standalone tools for that (such as Pandoc), and I don't see much benefit in making another one just to be web-based.

Hey! I never thought I'd see the day where I would actually recommend my app to somebody. But I actually made this for android, and it lets you save and pronounce the word too :)

Go easy on me in terms of reviews, I did this in a couple months and haven't been able to work on it in a while.

Have you tried Hermit? Create a Lite App for YouTube Subscriptions: http://hermit.chimbori.com/create?url=m.youtube.com%2Ffeed%2Fsubscriptions

I use https://www.justwatch.com/ all the time to see if something I want to watch is available on a streaming service I use.

I never tried making an account, but it seems like you can create a list of things to watch.

Use a Neti pot. They make electronic ones like this. They work great and will not suck out or damage your delicate sinus membranes (which would just make things much worse for you).

I made a screensaver that plays videos and supports playlists a long time ago. Here is the link to it. Have no idea if it still works and can't try it since I'm on Linux now. I believe it requires VB6 runtime :)

Here's an example of someone using the cigarette lighter plug to compare the electrical noise and find the out the car's RPM.

http://hackaday.com/2014/06/10/measuring-car-engine-rpm-via-the-cigarette-lighter/

This is similar to how some digital tachometers work. Notice there's one tachometer in the related items that has a series of LEDs that get brighter as the RPMs increase.

I don't really have the energy to make it look pretty, but here's a greasemonkey addon to put the links in there. I have no idea how Greasemonkey handles saving user input, so all the links have to be hardcoded. Just edit the script (it's an option in greasemonkey) and add links so it looks something like this:

[{name: "Facebook", link: "https://www.facebook.com"}, {name: "Link2", link: "http://www.reddit.com"}]

would be dangerous if user will set the consumption higher than charger, battery or wires can handle, otherwise there is a magisk module for limiting the current.

As it relates to Web Comics and websites you visit daily (or certain days of a week), Morning Coffee (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/morning-coffee/) is an essential Firefox add-on. If you need any help setting it up, feel free to shoot me a PM :)

EDIT: An example of use: I read the Buttersafe web comic each week. New comics are posted on Tuesdays and Thursdays, so I configure Morning Coffee to open http://buttersafe.com/ on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Repeat this for any web comics/websites that you want opened on certain days, then simply click on the Morning Coffee button each day to open them all together!

You could use Nuke Anything Enhanced. It doesn't do pattern matching or remember items, but if something annoys you on a webpage you can right click and remove any element on it.

Nuance is the software company behind Dragon NaturallySpeaking, the premier voice recognition dictation software. They are definitely the hundred pound gorilla in the market, although I do not know if they have any iOS offerings.

You could also look into Dasher, a piece of predictive typing software meant for special needs. I don't think it's available on iOS, but there does look to be a stable version available for Mac desktops (OS X).

There's TasteDive. It also gives recommendations aside from allowing you to rate things, but the recommendations aren't very good. I came up with what I think might be a better idea.

What I've done to make this happen on my machine is bookmark the initial part of the URL (e.g. http://www.spanishdict.com/translate/) and then when I start typing the URL it will autofill thanks to Firefox's Awesome Bar. I hit tab to bring the bookmar into the URL bar then add whatever I want to the end.

TL;DR: You can do this with a bookmark

In Firefox, you can right-click on the search box of any page (google, some dictionary, wikipedia, etc...) and select the

> Add a Keyword for this Search

option. This will allow you to create a "bookmark" with a keyword. This keyword is entered into the address bar and the text you type after the keyword are added to the appropriate URL for the search/entry bar you created the bookmark for.

For example, doing this with Google Scholar creates the following bookmark:

http://scholar.google.com/scholar?q=%s

I have a keyword associated with this: gs

So when I type into the address bar:

gs Lorenson Marching Cubes 1987

It takes me here:

http://scholar.google.com/scholar?q=Lorenson%20Marching%20Cubes%201987

I use this extension so that my Youtube-tabs don't all start playing when I start my browser in the morning (I usually have A LOT of tabs saved).

I use Speed Dial, not sure if we're talking the same thing as fast dial. It's pretty nice, and it's fun being able to hit ctrl+[number relative to position on grid] and go to that website without going home. For instance, ctrl+1 is reddit! :D

EDIT: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/speed-dial/

Teracopy (free) does a great job, the paid version allows for manipulating the copy queue.

Ultracopier might be worth a look, it's similar, fully free, and allows queue manipulation.

Somebody already made this. The link is to the source code in C#. For your convenience, I compiled it and uploaded it here.

If it doesn't work, you can always compile it yourself :)

EDIT: I think this needs .NET to run, but most people probably has that already

Thanks for this, I never knew this existed. I have to take screenshots of webpages in multiple browsers and I use Selenium to do this. If you are aware of Selenium then you may also know that there is an issue with Selenium RC and it doesn't work with Opera. This will be very useful for me.

I had this idea earlier this week too. You can just create folders for topics, then when you add a bookmark, you can select the folder name (category) you want it to go. I figure the default bookmark behavior in most browsers does a good enough job of this.

The only improvement that could be made is multiple categories, so if something is "Front End Development", but also "Databases", you'd be able to choose both categories.

Doing a quick Google search, it seems like https://papaly.com/ does this, but I haven't used it.

I made this app just to track my Peloton rides and some other jobs i was doing.

No batteries/power needed (running water generates enough power for leds), changes color based on temperature, 2 pack for under $20.

A friend has one and it's pretty cool (though I don't remember it being quite as tall as the linked one).

You could use this keyboard: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.wospy.cardkeyboard

it doesn't have any auto correct at all, and it also allows you to execute custom scripts (like a kickass developer)

It's not really focused on fancy statistics though. I'm using it for its widgets that show me apps sorted by usage.

There are file formats (wim, dmg etc) with software that allows you to mount a single file as a drive or directory. However, when deleting the files inside the main file, it should take exactly the same time, if not longer than it is to delete a file normally. As you have said, the benefit to this kind of setup is that you could delete the whole file - effectively deleting all of the files that are in it quickly.

You could also manipulate (add/delete) files/directories in existing zips using tools such as 7zip.

As for creating a new file to delete existing files, then you are effectively copying the original files into a single file and deleting the original files - or at least creating a record of the location of the files that are stored on the disk, which will take longer and if not coded well, will corrupt the table/record.

I don't quite understand how this glued file works...

https://www.quora.com/Why-do-10000-small-files-of-total-size-1GB-take-more-time-in-deleting-with-respect-to-a-single-file-of-1GB

I guess it depends on what you mean by "fun looking," (licensed characters, stuffed animal bases, etc?) but otherwise, this sounds like a pretty standard camping lantern.

Jesse, what the fuck are you talking about?!

If you are talking about what I think you are talking about, which is, that you need to open .md files and view the formatted output side by side, then Joplin is an option.

You need to go to File>Import>MD file and then you can view the plain text and formatted text side by side and make any changes you wish to.

This question was posed to the gamefaqs forum about a year ago.

I wonder which side of the economics (demand or supply) is keeping us from seeing more games like this. Is the demand too low? If it is only fun in multi-player mode, you may be cutting out 2/3rds of your potential sales. Or is it more expensive to develop?

Either way I think horror games are exponentially more fun when played with other people.

Ok, so, if you add an RSS source to such a reader, and I pull that RSS feed, what if there's no corresponding Reddit submission for some of that source's URLs? Would they just be ignored/removed -or- pushed to the bottom?

Also would the resulting feed also be an RSS XML?

Anywho, here's what I'm imagining based on what you said:

• I add a 2 sources, say...https://news.ycombinator.com/rss and https://medium.com/feed/@appa
• Pull those two feeds and gather all the "item" URLs, then...
• Check reddit for corresponding submissions for the URLs, then...
• Create an entirely new RSS feed containing all of the feed items from both sources, only now they're sorted by upvotes/downvotes (which is also displayed by the new RSS feed)

I'm liking the idea of it being more similar to a Google Reader-type RSS reader where you're responsible for adding your own feeds. Having a set of default feeds you can add/remove is another type of feature entirely.

That wasn't ELI5 enough? Instead of a video projector menu, a stackexchange page appears.

Despite the downvotes it's actually a good idea. Several complex software nowadays employ the idea of a search box for finding commands, instead of menus (eg. Sublime Text, Adobe InDesign). Though the benefits of fuzzy search for commands are hard to overstate, this idea actually takes it one further. Not only can amnesiac users get good results even by searching with the "wrong" keywords, but users could get results for the entire task they're trying to do. And although the sorting smarts of stackexchange sites aren't quite there yet, maybe one day we'd be able to get a truthful outlook on the top problems your device can solve, how, and how well.

Aw broham, just get stylebot and hide those divs.

Specifically, you can set div.score and div.tagline to display: none.

Although that's going to hide the author as well. You can optionally hide div.tagline time instead, which will hide the time, but it will say "posted ago by reddit_user1234"

This exists in the sense of what you want to accomplish.

The Amazon dash buttons have networking and are reprogrammable with relatively little intervention. The click would then not only register logging functions like you mention but can also activate other actions. An example would be sending a text through IFTTT.

This lacks the pressure sensing element you're getting at, but I think it covers the jist.

If one would write a list to santa:

A) I think the more important part is see if you can think in terms of portability, as say if anyone wanted a linux/mac/windows/android version. Think how handbrake does it, using ffmpeg libs.

B) ffmpeg can handle it all. But the priority would be what.. say what opencamera can shoot: Input: Mpeg4 H264 & Mpeg HEVC (which is the most common if you want to make a gif from a film anyway).

Output: PNG/WebP

C) Size is not really that important, you want a large canvas to process in an image editor. A feature were you say from "timestamp this to that", helps tremendously in terms of ease of use.

Think of it this way, make high quality pictures from video frames that you can edit "fram by frame"/bulk filters etc in photoshop/GIMP/whathave you not. These can also make gif's, with proper settings it looks good.

Wolfram|Alpha has some of these features, and you can easily go into the past as well.

Hmm, it's not exactly what you want, but Update Scanner tells me when a page I keep track of changes, and shows a "diff". (I use it for sites that don't have RSS) Perhaps if you ignore the notification and only visit when you're ready you'll still get the diff you want.

This is the exact theme of a book called Your Money or Your Life, which was written back in the 90s. It changed how I looked at money. For example, if you make $20/hr and you want something that costs $80, your thought process is probably, "I can pay for that in four hours." But that's not true. Out of your $20/hr you already spend $x for rent, $y for food, $z for your phone bill, etc. If that all adds up to $19 you have $1/hr to spend on other stuff. Paying for that $80 item takes 2 whole weeks.

This kind of thinking changes money from a number to something real, which makes it a lot easier to stop spending money you don't have on crap you don't need. I highly recommend reading this book. It's in a lot of libraries.

https://www.amazon.com/Your-Money-Life-Transforming-Relationship/dp/0143115766

I could do this, but it looks like the API cost for bulk downloads is $470/month. If anyone wants to throw some time at this, they make it easy with current weather bulk downloads.

There exists this that is kind of what you are describing, but not iOS apps. http://www.oldversion.com/

The problem with a lot of old mobile apps now is that various API URLs on the back end have changed or no longer exist. Or they try to connect to some ad server that no longer exists.

I use https://dotepub.com/ -- only a page at a time, but it makes an ePub book out of a page.

I have a script which dumps them into Calibre, or you could just drag them to a USB bookreading device, like a Kobo or Kindle.

Wow, that's awesome! And also exactly the kind of thing you would need.

So, something like that, plugged into something like this, and then we've spent about 2 dollars per unit, and we've got all the bits...

This brings to mind a flash game that I played recently (only the game is more focused on the aspect of eating and is very simple in scope). Obviously your idea has a lot more elements but is this the basis that you were thinking of that could be expanded upon?

Depends what you mean by screensaver. If it's just a full-screen slideshow that you're after, then what migrego suggested below is enough. If you want it to start playing automatically after a period of idle time, then you can find a variety of freeware software that does this - display any web page you give it as a screen saver. e.g. some googling yielded this: http://myweb.tiscali.co.uk/djmclean/htmlscreensaver.html

I was thinking about getting something like RocketDock/StarDock, but I don't want to run an app that unnecessarily clutters the screen. I searched around for similar apps.

7stacks lets me do what I intended, but it's still quite not what I wanted: http://i.imgur.com/h801QUZ.png

It's very ugly, I'd like to be able to define a minimum grid size (icon placeholders) (image shows 2x1, and it looks bad, 2x4 (8 icons) with padding would look beautiful). Seems outdated/buggy. There's no way to hide the caption/folder's name. And it lacks customization options. It also spawns the grid based on the cursor's position at the time, not the actual icon's position.

I think it's getting easier. Google play offers storage for 20,000 songs at up to 300mb per song. Itunes are offering storage for 25,000 songs and their match service which should help.

If you are building a collection of thousands of songs you could potentially save thousands of dollars by shopping around.

The closest thing I can think of that exists today would be something like either Synergy or TeamViewer. Likewise, it looks like you can install an app that shares clipboards between devices.

Otherwise, it would be harder to do at the hardware level, since a HID device wouldn't be able to sniff the contents of a clipboard without some software component (at which point, may as well just use a software-based solution anyway).

I think that's really interesting. There's a cool website that you may have seen: http://www.whosampled.com/

I don't know if they have the capability to recognize the audio of a song like Shazam, but it would be really cool for sure.

I used to screw around with Garage Band years ago. Problem is you need a Mac and I haven't used it in probably 10 years so I don't know what it's like anymore.

edit: Here's some powershell I was playing with. Not loving it, the sorting is all fucked up and the layout is bothering me too, but it's something to work with.

dir | select-object Name, @{ Label='Month'; Expression= {"{0:yyyy}-{0:MMM}" -f $.LastAccessTime}} | group-object Month | foreach-object { $.Name;"="*80; $_.Group; ""}

also

# Works dir | select-object Name, @{ Label='Month'; Expression= {"{0:MMM}{0:yyyy}" -f $.LastAccessTime}} | format-table Name, Month -groupby Month # Doesn't Work as expected dir | format-table Name, @{ Label='Month'; Expression= {"{0:MMM}{0:yyyy}" -f $.LastAccessTime}} | format-table Name, Month -groupby Month

dir | group {"{0:MMM}{0:yyyy}" -f $_.LastAccessTime}

There's a pretty good API plus you can just download the data. However, the data is a bit sparse past about 1800. You could set up the interface e.g. to highlight words in different colors to indicate frequency bands, then have synonyms on right click (similarly color-coded).

There is also a question of taking it too far. It may be more comprehensible to modern readers if you keep conversational dialog more or less in modern vernacular, then take an etymology dictionary to a few key terms. This adds a veneer of authenticity while not increasing the difficulty of reading too significantly.

Also, "hello" is cited as originally being an Americanism - there is the question both of temporal and regional authenticity, and some blend of both with it showing up as characterization may be more useful than whitewashing all text in the piece.

Two excellent points.

1. Certainly this would require expertise in low-level systems development and network programming. I'm not sure that any run-of-the-mill Python/Java developer would have the tools necessary to build it out.
2. I believe that game-sharing, but not console-sharing, is prohibited. Moreover, games can largely be distributed by being purchased on a "Nintendo account" or "PSN account". I guess in that light, game distribution would have to work very similarly to the cited shadow.tech approach in that the subscribers themselves will have to purchase the game in an online, downloadable manner previously to running it.

Nevertheless, this idea is the product of a half-hour of thought and I appreciate knowing your thoughts.

There's a paid service for this, really cheap if you watch hundreds of movies like I do, called put.io. Their cheapest yearly plan is $99 and it will do all you could really want it to do. Plus they have integration with Roku, multiple mobile apps for different mobile platforms, allow you to download and manage your movies via FTP, and it's all downloaded extremely fast.

I don't really understand what you're trying to do here...

But you do know you can login to the dropbox site and navigate through your directories?

Also, there is an API you can use here

Thank you for posting this idea; I'm kind of working on it (though with no actual home computer because of a dead power button, I'm only making limited progress), and came across the Nana GUI system, which looks promising and seems to want to follow STL/Boost style. I say that to point it out to any other programmer that may look at this, because I honestly think this is a good project, and theoretically easier than programming for each game independently, if the game uses a filetype listed in Boost.PropertyTree.

I've just stumbled upon this while searching for a note-taking app.

I too use macOS (at home and at work), android (am android dev) and syncthing.

What do you think of the idea, to implement this nvalt clone in https://flutter.io/ ?

I am a big fan of flutter, and am looking for a worthwhile project to use it in.

Here is something to get you started

It logs in to gtalk and captures the online intervals of contacts. Now that data has to be saved somewhere and then some visualisations of it can be made.

You will need python, twisted and pyOpenSSL to run the code.

Yup, just adding in missing information from todays date to the matches and passing it to Date should be all that's needed.

[00:09:13.248] d = new Date("2011 06 29 8:00 PDT") [00:09:13.253] Wed Jun 29 2011 17:00:00 GMT+0200 (CEST) [00:09:15.128] d = new Date("2011 06 29 8:00 EDT") [00:09:15.132] Wed Jun 29 2011 14:00:00 GMT+0200 (CEST) [00:09:18.984] d = new Date("2011 06 29 8:00 UTC") [00:09:18.989] Wed Jun 29 2011 10:00:00 GMT+0200 (CEST)

The easiest and ugliest way to update the content is probably to use innerHTML.replace like so: function convertTime (str, hours, minutes, half, zone) { var now = new Date() hours = (half == 'PM') ? hours + 12 : hours return '' + now.getFullYear() + (now.getMonth() + 1) + now.getDate() + hours + ':' + minutes + zone } document.body.innerHTML = document.body.innerHTML.replace(/(\d\d?):?(?:\d\d)?\s+?(PM|AM)?\s+?([a-z]{3,4})/ig, convertTime)

The above isn't tested, but it should work or at least be close to working.

A Google group is the perfect way for us to collaborate. Let's do that. VCS and Chat are not components of the website, they are tools we need to work on this project.

A Version Control System is a wiki for code. It synchronizes our code, provides shared file management, and tracks revisions to each file. Git is a VCS. EdgeCase, who happen to be our competition in Cincinnati, created this awesome Git Tutorial.

on somewhat of a second thought, i dont like how you have to pay to use about.me, but i also like how it doesnt have advertisements. if we find a clever way to monetize this proposed website without ads, then we have something

You can likely do this with clipboard fusion and a small macro script, basically this one with a ".toLowerCase()" after the text.Replace(" ","-")

https://www.clipboardfusion.com/Macros/View/?ID=d2a956fd-736f-4da7-a216-36b54a345de4

Might need some other slight modifications to remove punctuation or leading/trailing whitespace.

Other macros are here for reference:

You mean a “WYSIWYG word processor”. A text editor only edits plain text, so all text editors are WYSIWYG.

But yeah, it would be nice to write school essays and other documents with better key bindings. The problem is that word processors are too complicated to write from scratch while supporting existing standard file formats. A project like this is probably best implemented as a plugin for some open-source, fairly popular WYSIWYG editor like TinyMCE or OpenOffice Writer.

The most useful implementation of this idea would be a plugin for Microsoft Word. I would actually use it in that case. But I bet it would be harder to write and test plugins for Word than for an open-source program.
