   Ha, yeah. I intentionally avoided any ctx.clear() calls just so we could have mouse trails again when things crash :D

   I agree. To be fair, naming things is one of the three hardest problems in computing (the other one being cache invalidation).

   Thanks everyone. I just shipped what I've been working on for 3 months. Even though everyone says it was fine, I know that it was too early. I should have made some working demos, polished the API a little more, and done a lot better j

   No, an API uses existing rules, but a DSL uses its own ad hoc rules. GP is right. Don't make DSLs, make APIs, which are: * More composable * More reusable * More simple to reason about * More natively supported * More portable * More r

   Well I released it today and I'm kind of regretting it. It's woefully underdeveloped.

   Thanks. Oh man I remember buying Voxatron and thinking it was such a cool idea, but not knowing how to use it at all or what to do with it beyond the demos. I guess the guy behind it probably ran into the same issue. Still a cool idea.

   I think a fun solution to this, and the one I adopted, is to leave these power features in here as easter eggs, so that devs are rewarded for finding them. At least for me, it gives me a sense of the fun and excitement of learning GUI dev d

   Thanks! Hopefully it'll give you an idea of how fun it was to make GUI apps in the 90s!

   It should be fixed now! Can you try it again?

    by 90s_dev 1y ago

    Just fixed! Thanks for the feedback.

    Fixed!

    Ahh, figured it out. Firefox ESR doesn't return an iterator from map.values() with .find() etc on it. Okay, fixing now.

    Downloaded FF ESR just now, working on fixing it.

    You were right, it wasn't at the time. It works now, except for undo/redo.

    by 90s_dev 1y ago

    Thanks! That's an encouraging way to look at it, as it allows me to ship something that's not 100% perfect yet. But I guess no matter how hard we try, it never really is, is it?

    Thanks! And you are not worthless trash, just in case your username was serious.

    Odd. Not sure why.

    How about now?

    It just occurred to me: Pico8 is to Picotron, as Tic80 is to 90s.dev or Pico8 is to Tic80, as Picotron is to 90s.dev

    Man I wish I was as good at pixel art as those people apparently are! That's part of why I made my app into a platform where you can build apps but also share apps, libraries, and game assets. I can't make a game all on my own!

    I took great pains to support Firefox, mostly in my service worker. Unfortunately when it comes to mounting drives for faster local development, there's nothing I can do until FF supports `showDirectoryPicker` However, you could just l

    You might also be interested in Picotron[1], made by the same guy who made Pico8. It's basically a desktop OS with the same basic design as Pico8 but with slightly looser restrictions. I've never really tried it, only looked at hi

    by 90s_dev 1y ago

    Thanks for the feedback. You're likely using Firefox, right? This feature relies on showDirectoryPicker which Firefox doesn't support. You'd have to use Chrome for the getting started guide. Also, the drive name shouldn'

    Ha, thanks! Yeah the reactivity system was born out of trying to get stuff done quickly. I was tired of manually setting variables so I made it easy to "chain" and "adapt" them and stuff. Same thing with the (hacky?) aut

    Wow, bb4win and bblean take me way back. In fact, they were a huge inspiration for my shells[1] feature, which are just userland programs that happen to be able to manage panels (windows). [1] https://90s.dev/technical&#x2

    I think you're both right. It's tricky to know when to make something a default and when to make it a constant. Especially when it comes to users, who cannot all be pleased.

    Thanks for letting me know. Hmm, I don't know what Floorp is doing differently. I'd need more of a stacktrace. It works in regular Firefox though. Feel free to paste a stacktrace and/or stacktrace screenshot on the issues pag

    Yep, that's why I decided to make the pages able to have interactive demos. Though only the hello world tour and the refs guide use it so far.

    Thanks, though I'm not stressed. It's an exciting and fun challenge to see how much I can get done with my fancy GUI API before the edit button goes away :)

    It's basically MIT. I used to have it injected at the top of the source files. I forgot why I took it out. [edit] Just added MIT licenses to the top of all the files.
