Can second this approach. At a past job we did the same, except to connect the frontend to a Go backend. I really like that the openAPI approach is language agnostic, and makes it relatively simple to support SDKs for many other languages i

Indeed. It's horrible that this is not allowed even if the user wants it.

Very excited to see them get this out there. Rewind on Mac is useful, adding iOS would be all the screens for many people. That being said, this is not the same as the desktop version. It does not record you're screen constantly. As fa

You can have it both ways! Use neovim to handle key presses in VSCode, keep all the benefits of a text editor that (mostly) Just Works. - https://github.com/vscode-neovim/vscode-neovim

This looks very useful, as it's already useful in other languages. I found the syntax a bit confusing though. `await` comes before a promise, except in this case. I wonder what the reasoning behind the syntax was.

I've been critical of Webflow in the past for the same reasons, but having seen teams use it effectively I think there's more nuance here. Namely, if you want to build a website then CSS layout is just the tip of the iceberg. If y

You're probably right with regard to Slack, Discord. However, some Electron apps require access to the filesystem or other APIs that these installed web pages wont't support (as far as I know). FS access is listed as a wishlist it

Thanks for this. I had seen that once on localhost and wondered how to get that URL bar for all URLs. I didn't know you could use it per-domain, which may be good enough. Cheers.

Now if only you could hide the tab-favicon sidebar... Arc does this, but they don't give you the URL bar. It may sound nitpicky (and it is) but I really want the hidden tab sidebar AND a visible URL bar. Here's hoping either Arc o

Perhaps it's specific to the applications i've built, but pkg has _ALWAYS_ given me issues. The ideal is the packaged code Just Works as if you ran it with node, and in my experience pkg does not deliver in that regard. Glad other

I'm not clear on how this differs from private browsing (incognito, or whatever) other than retaining a history entry of the visit. I'm all for users having more options in how they browse, but is there more to this feature than I

There's definitely much to be said in favor of simple function composition. However, I found the API choices odd because in RxJS the `.pipe` operator is, itself, chained rather than being standalone. Using a standalone `pipe`, such as

by iansinnott 3y ago
RxJS _used to be_ more intuitive, IMO. Around version 5 or so the API changed to use `.pipe` instead of simply chaining operators. Also, some functions were renamed to be (unintentionally, one assumes) more opaque. Such as `flatMapLatest` -

Oh, thanks. I hadn't seen this. This looks like it would be super useful for the "backend" bits

I looked into some alternatives a while back [1] and thought Neutralino looked promising except that it doesn't support node modules. I.e. you cannot use the existing ecosystem of node-stuff. Still, glad there are many options for usin

I wonder if Jank [1] could be such a Lisp? I haven't played around with it, but I really like the idea and would love to see it get more traction. [1]: https://jank-lang.org/

For small projects I'd remove the bit about 'saving money' being a reason to use VPS. If you want to get better at Linux, then by all means. However, if you'd like to save money, assuming you place any value on your own

You might check out Nextcloud. A hosted version of course, since self-hosting could not be called a Dropbox replacement. Hetzner + Nextcloud [1] replaced Dropbox for me last year. [1]: https://www.hetzner.com/storage/st

Something I don't see mentioned often is how much TIME tipping takes. I recently visited Australia and realized that each transaction at a cafe/restaurant was very quick, perhaps an entire 10x quicker than an equivalent transactio

Can confirm, not worse than Google. I do still use !g to use Google occasionally, but as often as not I'm disappointed in the Google results. It's quite refreshing to have lenses for specific types of searches (programming, for in

You may find that you don't have to leave tech in order to find more fulfilling work. "Tech" spans so many industries that you can likely find a position at a company that's more aligned with your interests than whatever

Nextcloud on Hetzner has been great in my experience. Running for a few months now as a Dropbox replacement and very happy. Mobile app, mac app, it all seems to work exactly as expected. My only gripe is that they do not allow Nextcloud ext
