Pretty much. As a consumer, it's where I can find the cheapest albums to buy (for digital releases). As a musician, it is the only platform where I have seen any money – albeit, still not much :P If something isn't available there

Probably simplicity. In my experience, SM2 has less levers, and is easier to implement initially.

Slower than VS Code?? I guess it's just poorly optimized for Linux. On MacOS, I find it to be significantly faster than VS Code, and the only alternative I've found that's in the ballpark of Sublime (from the performance aspe

Not really... like sure if you want a static site, but I'm talking about static apps. Like if you want to handle /id/$id routes with data based on user-generated content saved in localStorage... you'll have to handle rou

Most of my personal app projects are SPAs, because it’s easy to just pop some static files in my static file server and serve a whole app with routing and functionality without having any server logic. Way simpler to maintain, since I can j

Sooooo.... ehe... I got a little inspired yesterday, and got a head start on that 10%: https://github.com/inro-digital/simple-tools/tree/main/packa... YMMV though, since I haven't user-tested it in

So I haven't integrated FSRS, and of these two, I've only used Wanikani, and have been playing with a reimplemention for Chinese hanzi: https://hanzi.bpev.me But seeing how it's implemented, I think they could tot

I mean... I find deno.json-less scripts to be incredibly convenient for creating single-file scripts, and I've found deno configuration to be pretty clear. You're not wrong for disliking Deno; it has opinions, and those can turn p

huh, I mean idk experiences differ. My main project's service is written in Rust/Axum, and I enjoy it a lot. But I thought it was actually kind of frustrating to find that combination; Axum was the 3rd http client I tried, after

Haven't really been using Fresh; I feel like whenever I get into the blending of client/server with these ecosystems, things get real muddy real fast. Mostly been doing either sites (mostly fully ssr with Hono + very light vanilla

I do think that effort over time makes a difference here, though. I remember this from an interview with Ruby Sales that stuck with me (I don't know the origin of the phrase, but this is where I heard it): https://pca.st&#x2

For what it's worth, ecosystem is a valid concern, esp compared to React, and esp if dealing with more niche features. Even for something fairly generic like Virtual List implementations. Virtual Lists do exist for solid (specifically

My mind went something more like this: You dare to call this game "CSS Hell", and then tell me that it will be TOO hell for me to play on a phone??? I USE CSS EVERY DAY. YOU UNDERESTIMATE MY TOLERANCE FOR SELF-HARM, MORTAL. *opens

It's kind of wild to me that I remember deciding between mithril and backbone, and now I'm still seeing it on the hn front-page (edit: oop. 2nd page) in 2025. The longevity is real.

I have a web extension I made as a pet project that does something useful to me (in the spirit of selling my work, it's called Favioli ). It's free/open-source and will always be free. But the idea was inspired by my friend&#

To me, the primary effort here feels less about trying to create a "new" standard, and about trying to consolidate and add more formal definitions/recommendations around fairly settled patterns. Like, I think a lot of the des

Yeahhhh this exact bug is why I haven’t been able to use Orion as my main browser. I usually use Safari, pretty much purely for the battery life gains.

Frankly, I feel like it goes even further than CSS. People don't really talk about HTML that much, probably just because it doesn't change as much as JS frameworks, etc. But that doesn't mean you should ignore it completely a

My filesystem organization has been based off of Johnny decimal for some years now. TBH, I don't know how much I specifically recommend it, since it did take quite a long time (years) for me to really figure out my organization and bec

Amazing! I used kagi at the very beginning, but my biggest concern was always this (that logging in is inherently less private than using something like duckduckgo, so I'm just forced to trust Kagi's will). This is the kind of thi

Fyi for those who tap in and see the map in the background instead of to the right of the content, the layout/treatment feels pretty different for desktop vs mobile.

I drink alcohol sometimes, but at fancy experimental places, I feel like mocktails are often MORE exciting than cocktails, because they are more willing to stray from the alcohol-tasting flavor palette. There's just so many cool flavo
