I think you are confusing XML style UI declarations with composable-components-based UI declarations. To cut the explanation short, the former means while initial UI state was declarative (with XML), runtime mutations of UI were mostly imp

Qt is an amazing piece of tech that got many things right. 1. Performance that matches native speeds 2. Single codebase for multiple platforms (without relying on web technologies) 3. Not limited with a single language (has bindings to all

Yes. I found it weird too. They put so much effort into making their app performant and then for the desktop app, wrapped it into an electron shell which is weird :) I guess except the designing canvas, all the UI controls are built over DO

Early user here. One of the very first apps I ever built ran on heroku. Thanks for that experience. Heroku taught me deployments can be a single day effort during a time when I didn't even know deployments usually are more difficult t

Where we will go from here, is pretty obvious. Now that we've realized SSRs cannot be an optional afterthought, we'll soon realize SSRs with running JS on the server is a nightmare to scale - https://engineeringblog.yel

There is an even more easier way to hack. When I got my new phone number, I found out that number was recycled and the previous owner's facebook account was now linked with mine. From there it was just a few mins before the account cam

This is great news. I'm really rooting for a successful trend of Serverless runtimes, mainly as a weapon against rising cloud deployment costs. While the general trend today is to back the serverless environment with Javascript runtime

But, let's say I'd like to parse this stored state and send an email (as HTML) on the server? My best guess is to use a NodeJS/V8 instance on the server to somehow transform JSON to HTML using Lexical's serializer (if so

by lewisjoe 5y ago
quick question: I assume it ships(or supports a plugin) with a serializer to convert an editor state JSON to HTML. Does it depend on browser APIs to do so? Can it be somehow liberated out of native DOM APIs and language bindings for JSON-2-

Thanks for the pointer. His comparison of Draft vs Lexical makes a lot of sense. I'm keener to understand the different between Prosemirror vs Lexical. He mentions that he pulled the best ideas from libs like Prosemirror. I'm curi

Hi Dominic, thanks for open sourcing the library. I have quite a few questions though: 1. Marijn has built an awesome open source richtext library ( https://prosemirror.net/ ) which has a huge plugin ecosystem and bindings wi

I have a VM running on GCP. I have the world's simplest usecase: how do you export the instance as a snapshot so that I can run it from somewhere else. Say, a virtual box environment or another cloud provider. How do you export a snaps

Thanks, and I'm really rooting for Spin's success. The cloud computing costs have reached ridiculous levels recently. I blame the new age DevOps culture trained to hit every nail with Kubernetes ecosystem for this inflation. I be

This looks promising. I'm amazed at the kinds of places WebAssembly has found its way into. I myself am working on putting WebAssembly as a UI reconciliation engine. 1. You write your UI component spec (similar to React) in a language

Agreed 100%. Slapping a REST api over a software is like reducing that software to a set of resources and attribute updates over those resources. And that never feels like the right way to talk with a software. That could be convenient for

You are right. Implementing line breaks and pagination algorithms that work well with tables and images - is one of the hardest problems in implementing a word processor. Basically, the newer gen folks want to leave the paper layouts behin
