   Still very WIP, but I am revamping the #obsidian UI for right-to-left languages such as Arabic, Dhivehi, Hebrew, Farsi, Syriac, Urdu.

   So many little questions I had never thought about:

   - Which way does a "back" arrow go?
   - Do progress bars fill right-to-left?
   - Are slashes in paths reversed?
   - Do window buttons get mirrored on major OSes?

   This has been an eye-opening experience. Using start/end values rather than left/right is something I will think about with every project going forward.
