Hi HN. I built Forgo because React is no longer "it's just JS" (actually it never was). The patterns, practices and vocabulary used in the React ecosystem present considerable hurdles to a newbie - hooks, reducers, actions, f

ForgoJS: a 4KB React alternative that gets rid of framework specific DOM access techniques and state management. For example: let people use closures for managing component state rather than something new like hooks. Here's a preview:

They don't owe you anything, but for many popular devices support extends to years. There are many devices on their support list which are 8 years old or more. (eg: Galaxy S4 from 2013, yet running 17.1). PinePhone is great, but it cer

You're right, I should have been clearer. I meant the Google Apps bundle of essential apps (especially the Web Browser).

I think we really need a break from people submitting more M1 Mac unboxing articles, unless there's significant original technical content. This is turning into fanboyism.

That's a very broad interpretation of disappearance and I don't agree with it. NATO isn't in the business of disappearing people either - Assange and Snowden have not disappeared. But Gedhun Choekyi Nyima has disappeared. Kid

The problem is that Europe has no appetite for any sort of confrontation. Their leadership in peace and climate initiatives mask how little they're willing to do to address issues which have a potential body-bag cost. They have poured

I have bet my startup on the future of git, as a decentralised store for personal data. My view is that git hasn’t peaked at all in terms of usage, and currently only serves the developer niche - while its future might be as a store of pers

jacquesm (on HN) sold ww.com for about $1m. California.com was $3m, and voice.com was $30m. If I had the money or was running a big corp looking to launch a new product, I'd pay $5-10m for it. I'll be very surprised if it was less

I like Rust from what I've tried. But I'd have preferred something like this: let file = file.unwrapOrPanicWith("file was null"); option.expect(message) doesn't semantically make sense.

Sorry I misread. Most Show HN products are in the pre-alpha, pre-revenue stage. For them the feedback as well as the eyeballs are of great value. Though there are outliers, the value is usually tilted towards the creator rather than the rea

Thanks for the correction. I was looking at 13/14/15" laptops at that point - which maxed out at 1440 by 900 on the 15" I believe.

The disagreement is because most M1 reviews/comments were a bit of fan fiction - ranging from custom instructions for JavaScript, to "order of magnitude" perf per watt gains. Just as it doesn't make sense comparing the
