We at Khan Academy are planning a blog post soon about how we've been approaching dependency injection in Go. I touched upon this in my GopherCon talk last year[1]. I like the system because it's pretty straightforward and builds

Neither is as lightweight as native, but if you've got a collection of apps running against OS webviews vs a collection of apps running against their own Chromiums, it seems like the webview ones would share at least some memory. (It c

Projects like Tauri use libraries like Wry[1], though. Getting Wry fixed to use the new API shouldn't be any more difficult than the work you need to do, right? And that work is then shared by everyone using the project. [1]: https:&#

I wondered about that, too, and thought of a difference: if you sign it over to someone else with PGP, the first owner still has a file that was provably sold to them. They could fraudulently sell it again. A public blockchain would contain

This is a great idea! Especially nice now that Safari extensions can be shared between iOS and Mac. I do think it faces some competition from Mela[1], but Mela's approach is to be a whole recipe manager and you get stuff into it via th

Very cool to see a competitor to mmm.page. I think this is an absolutely awesome direction to get more people making their own, unique personal sites. Great work, and I look forward to seeing your huge update!
