Hey Jack!

Sorry for the latency on reviewing this. It works great and is applied.
As I was testing it, I encountered a case where the subcommand blocked
and made the whole UI freeze (since they are currently on the same
goroutine). I've added a commit after this to launch the subcommands
from a different goroutine, as well as to do so with a timeout context.

Anyway, thanks for this!
Chris

Hey Elias,

Thanks for the quick review! See my responses inline below:

Cheers,
Chris

Andrew,

Thanks so much for the hard work on this! It's finally ready, and I have
merged it (with a couple of tweaks).

Congratulations on landing this major feature!
Chris

Hey all,

We've got another sync tomorrow (October 15th) at 7pm EDT (23:00 UTC),
and there are some exciting things to chat about!

In particular, we'll talk through:

- sprig UI changes,
- user online status updates,
- infrastructure changes,
- and a virtual community event in the near future!

We'll be meeting here: https://meet.nixnet.services/b/chr-mdt-z3m

Hey Jack!

This is looking very nice!

The next patch in the set (which I'm aware is most of the new content)
is more complex than I can review right now. Hopefully within the next
48 hours, but we'll see.

I really like your Progress animation implementation! Also having the
whole text field be clickable feels significantly better.

In the meantime, I would like to request the following:

- Could you submit the text field implementation as a standalone patchset?

Hello all!

Elias is hard at work on the new compute-shader-based backend, so he 
asked me to handle the monthly newsletter in his place.


Core Gio

Elias is working on a replacement vector renderer for Gio based on the 
compute shaders from piet-gpu[1]. The new renderer is both much 
faster[2], easier to maintain, and more featureful.

It is also a step towards a CPU fallback for old or buggy devices and 
headless environments.  Most features critical to Gio are implemented:

Yeah, I probably should have sent a summary email myself. Thanks for
pulling it all together!

Hey Jack,

Thanks for submitting so many explorations of this space! I think that the
research is really paying off, and that this approach is promising. See
my comments inline:

Cheers,

I know this patch is superceded, but I wanted to address one thing below:

See my responses inline. Sorry for the latency on this! I know the code here
is somewhat obsolete, but the answers to some of your questions are still
valid.

Cheers,
Chris
