   IMO something like Apiary [1] and running the blueprint as a mock server is even easier. [1] https://apiary.io/how-apiary-works

   My thoughts exactly. For some reason people tend to think that a web component should stand on its own from high level. But that's just not how HTML works. Something like <shop-app></shop-app> should be seen as an anti

   It just occurs to me that 'managing files' is not something I tend to do anymore. My files generally stay in the place they are. And when I do manage files it usually involves a VCS anyway. I do think file managers might be very u

   Can you share some of your thoughts how this might be technically possible even with conventional toolchains?

   Sourcehut is competing with Github/Microsoft? That's new to me :-D Focusing on a niche hardly counts as competition to me. 'an alternative to Github' sounds more realistic.

   What has always suprised me about open source software is that the source is always 'out of band'. I can imagine a future where all open source software you use has an 'edit source' function (as opposed to a mere view-so

    Yeah, I guess it depends on what legacy you're willing to part from. Something like https://www.amazon.com/Elements-Computing-Systems-Building-P... is not hard, but it's arguably a toy system. IMO Project Oberon s

    Thanks, I am aware of the research at VPRI. However nothing coherent seems to have come out of it. Yet I am running a complete Oberon system on my laptop as we speak. And all source and documentation is available at http://www.pr

    One thing that has been sorely missing IMO in the last 25 years of software proliferation is a complete usable system that can be understood in its entirety by a single human being in one lifetime. It doesn't have to be your day-to-day

    Git is immensely popular, so using an alternative probably isn't worthwhile in the end. Having said that, a couple of alternatives that are more modern and less complicated (by design that is, not necesseralily implementation): - http
