What is surprising is that Netflix is pushing out JavaScript, and not TypeScript, related projects in 2024.

  They "pushed" out this project in 2018 https://github.com/Netflix/pollyjs/commit/281115d359ee0da5e0492c8a505e50843032eeba https://github.com/Netflix/pollyjs/commit/281115d359ee0da5e0...

  I'm pretty comfortable with JavaScript, Python and C#. You would think I would love TypeScript, but I specifically mainly use JS when its native to the browser, I hate the nightmare that is maintaining JS tools and packages. I can understand why someone might want to avoid the ceremony of setting up a JS project and just use as much OOTB as possible.

  They are using tsc though. It’s all type-checked. In my experience using tsc on JavaScript files is a good experience. But you don’t get the full feature set.

  You can mock with service workers in real time and deploy them globally as edge workers without ever leaving your browser or learning non-standard APIs: - <https://sw.rt.ht/? https://sw.rt.ht/?> (worker inside https://RTCode.io https://RTCode.io) - https://sw.rt.ht/ https://sw.rt.ht/ (deployed to https://RTEdge.net https://RTEdge.net) Editor: Everything is real-time! Try editing things. (You can intercept requests to other domains by using io:host=* on the worker.) Editor/Edge: This uses standard web platform APIs! In addition, KV storage (in-editor/edge-deployed) is ready, object storage, and more is in the works!

Could I use this library to implement offline support for an API (for example htmx requests)? I'm imagine I could capture requests in the web worker to add in offline logic.

  The answer to your question is yes. Approximately 18 hours ago, Show HN: I made a HTMX Playground 100% in the browser[0] was submitted, and Polly.js is a dependency. [0] https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38906989 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38906989
