I was asking for tips about working with markdown tables, and this was recommended

https://thisdavej.com/copy-table-in-excel-and-paste-as-a-markdown-table/

It says it does it all in javascript, so is that possibly something you can add to Tesseract? I don't know what technical challenges that would involve -- just seeing if it's possible and/or if it's something you might think about adding.

I don't yet have a solid answer for you (haven't had a chance to dig into it yet), but will look into it in the next release (1.4.40 or beyond). There's already been too much feature creep in the current branch, so even looking at this right now will likely be detrimental to actually getting this release published lol.

That said, I am interested in adding it.

Tesseract: An Advanced Lemmy Client

The goal of Tesseract is to address as many things in Lemmy that annoy me as I can. I also trawl various "is there any way to [blank] in Lemmy?" posts to get feature ideas. Both of those lists are pretty extensive, so Tesseract has accumulated quite a few features.

Github: https://github.com/asimons04/Tesseract/

Hosted / Demo Instance: https://tesseract.dubvee.org/

Note that the hosted instance defaults to Lemmy World, but it is unlocked to be able to connect to any Lemmy server.

Announcements, support, and guidance for the Tesseract UI.

All instance rules apply here. Beyond that, just be civil and constructive.
