I hate these idiots that post source code examples as an image just so they can keep their cool highlighting and style. How the fuck am I supposed to test that without re-typing the whole thing myself? Ever try OCR on source code? Not too great, is it.

    I desperately need an OCR that works on code
    Most are so "general purpose" and "advanced" but fail hard on monospace fonts with a few special symbols and spaces

    Who does that? You might use the wrong sources for your research and learning 😆.

    MacBooks nowadays can copy text right off the image with text recognition
    You just select it with a mouse as if it was a regular text
    Works like magic

    But I agree, the prettiness of an open source package is in its simplicity and low entry barrier, and not in how cool its GitHub page looks and how many emojis you use
