Are there good examples of this working in the wild? Before I comb through all ten blue links... https://www.google.com/search?q=embedding%20arithmetic%20emb...


The “BuzzFeed is the most important news organization in the world” era.

It's a work in progress.


I've skimmed the README and documentation but the benefits over Vimwiki still aren't jumping out at me.

Can you clarify?


Telegram not would also do the job.


At the risk of sounding naive: what's the alternative?


server-side-rendered HTMl with JS sprinkled (yes, that sprinkled JS can contain React). Works for most web apps.

Signup doesn't allow '+' in the email address, which is sometimes used in Gmail email addresses.

Good catch - That'd be down to the regex in the front end. Will look into it


You shouldn’t use regex for email validation.


The backend (Django) also verifies that the email address is valid. The frontend validation is just added as a an extra convenience


The problem is the standard for what is a valid email address is so varied with enough edge cases that what you might consider a “convenience” is actually breaking the site for other people.

There are quite a number of articles written about this topic, I’d recommend researching it.


Allowing + is bad. It allows users to churn trials easily.


Accept the address and key the user based on the part preceding +.


That can be prevented with simple validation on sign up.
