ah darn! well I'm sure they'll have a recap video! or let me know if you have any questions you'd like to ask, or ask in the fastboot chan on discord, or sqwok :D

I'm not using the fastboot-app-server, which currently uses express and requires you to have that set up for your app, but it's the most common path. Using lambda@edge is slightly different in that I'm relying on the cdn to r

There's some set up required and you have to essentially handle how to route the request, handle static files, compression, etc, but it's not _too_ bad. I've been meaning to do a write up on it and probably should, but feel f

This is great news! I'm using lambda@edge to server-side render an ember.js app using Fastboot ( http://ember-fastboot.com/ ), and lowering the cost is a real big win!

It looks like Cypress added Firefox & Edge support last year but initially it was just Chrome. Playwright also has a python version ( https://github.com/microsoft/playwright-python ) And I just discovered that they n

Oh yes! Really excited to see this. I am using ms playwright for e2e tests for https://sqwok.im and have been very pleased with it. I've evangelized it whenever webdriver/selenium comes up in conversation as I think it

Congrats on the new job! I never really dabbled with Go, but a team I was on recently worked with a backend written in Go, and I was present in lots of discussions :) For current project I'm using Starlette/asgi, but I'm sure

I owe a lot to Django as it was really the thing that got me into backend programming by leading me to learn python in early 1.X days. My first real programming job was backend django programming for a newspaper. Eventually things shifted t

That's an interesting idea. I'm working on an alternative discussion site and have wondered why the Gov doesn't do more to foster competition rather than hold pointless hearings with the same 3 people over and over again.

slate.js is react-only iirc, although I believe someone made a draft pr to make it work outside of it.

Thanks for sharing! I've thought about this idea as well while building Sqwok, and it's nice to see another perspective on it with clean visuals. I for public discovery views especially it could be valuable. One tradeoff to consid

Agree, my time spent in r/worldnews way way back was an influence in building Sqwok, as I wanted a Slack-like public app for discussing the news. There are many options out there these days but I believe there's still room for tha

If you're looking for an alternative check out https://sqwok.im It's a sort of hybrid between Twitter, Reddit, and Slack aimed at open, frictionless discussion using real time messaging instead of comments. It works on

Had never heard of Jared Isaacman or Shift4 Payments, but what a remarkable story and epic marketing campaign. Also goes to show that you can create a successful business in spaces that seem crowded or dominated by a few big players. Really

I too recently started using Starlette for https://sqwok.im and had investigated FastAPI & Responder. Both look promising but I've found that Starlette on it's own is very lightweight, well-designed, and straightfo

Completely agree, reading the news has been the single biggest detriment to my productivity. It's tough because it's so easy to do, and pretty much baked in at this point. Sometimes I feel like the only way to break it would be to

I don't think that type of language helps anything. Are you suggesting that conservatism is now synonymous with fascism? It seems ludicrous to suggest that millions of conservatives across the US are fascists. It isn't productive

Nice, hadn't heard of this. Is it similar to steemit? Also how do you delineate being "decentralized" versus using blockchain to store data? Working on another site and I have contemplated whether using blockchain for some of

It isn't decentralized but I'm working on a new alternative and you're welcome to check it out. It's focused on low-friction, open, live discussion (messaging meets news aggregator). While some may not be interested beca

That's true re: moderation. I guess I'm more curious about the fact that Google/Apple have an effective monopoly on "app stores". I need to read the details but what were the exact violations that caused Parler to b

Is there any argument for anti-competitive behavior here? It's weird because Google/Apple don't directly compete with Parler or other alternate social media sites, but they are clearly in the same bed with those who do, Faceb
