So I've been using the Magic Keyboard with my iPad Pro for years and honestly always liked it. Couple of weeks ago I took it off just to try something — threw the iPad in a slim folio case, and now it sits raised up in front of me with a regular Bluetooth Magic Keyboard and Magic Mouse on the table.

I was fully expecting to go back after a few days. Nope. Having the screen higher is so much nicer for my neck, portrait mode with a keyboard turned out to be weirdly good for writing, and I've started picking it up and using it like an actual tablet again — something I basically never did when the keyboard was attached.

Only annoying part is the little wobble when I tap the screen, since it's just a folio and not clamped into anything.

Now I'm sitting here wondering if I should just sell the Magic Keyboard lol. Anyone been running a setup like this long-term? What are you using as a stand, and did you eventually come back?

Upfront: I work with the team behind it.

https://aurorah.ai/i18n takes a different route from typical i18n libs — no keys, no JSON catalogs. The source string is the identifier, translations happen at runtime and re-render reactively when a better translation arrives (one shared instance, one small Svelte binding). Free, no API key, offline mode included.

SvelteKit example at aurorah.ai/i18n. The Svelte integration is the newest of our bindings, so this sub's feedback would be especially useful — does the store-based binding feel idiomatic to you, or would you expect something different?

Working with the team behind https://aurorah.ai/i18n, so take this with that in mind — but I'd genuinely like opinions from Node folks.

The idea: skip message IDs entirely. You write i18n.t\Your order ${orderId} has shipped`` — the string itself is the key, and translation happens automatically at runtime (fast draft first, refined LLM pass replaces it in the background). Works server-side for emails, API messages, whatever. Free, no API key or signup, and there's a fully offline mode.

There's a Node example at aurorah.ai/i18n if you want to poke at it. Curious what this sub thinks of runtime translation as a concept — what would stop you from using something like this in production?
