Really stoked to have stumbled upon this. HN has a way of serendipitously surfacing projects just when I need them. CMS.gov keeps changing their data format for nursing home info and writing multistep validation and ingest is a nightmare. T

Been using neeva as my daily driver for at least 6 months. I do use !g somewhat frequently (2-4% of quieres I’d guess) but the results are definitely good enough for most quieres.

This sort of thing has been hand rolled for at least 10 years in the affiliate space for super accurate tracking/commission attribution. This has always been the endgame. It is also common to name the reverse proxy file things like jqu

#7/8 are the most important in my experience. Easy to lose all of your leverage if you don't know what you're doing when you're negotiating the LOI. In addition to the LOI items, we got conceptual agreement on the phone

This seems insanely over-engineered. Yet, look at the source and the first thing that pops out is: // this is a temporary solution until I can figure out a safe way to do this on the server if (window.location.protocol === &

I was referring more to the context that the CEO is “one of us”, he is regularly on HN, and is available via Twitter/email to constructive criticism. I interviewed with CF earlier this year and ultimately decided the timing wasn’t rig

I love this so much. THIS is why CF is one of the only companies I'd ever consider working for.

I may have linked to the wrong one. They have 2 active owned via AllConnect patented by Glenn Goad. One is zip code availability lookup/search and the other is address level search for availability of services. They also have a 3rd mor

RedVentures is pretty much the 1000lb gorilla in SEO lead gen. They also have a pretty large patent library and aren't afraid to use it. This includes a patent on zip code search which our last startup was on the receiving end of an in

Good question. Hydration is where Javascript is rendered statically or on the server and the client needs to take over that HTML. Traditional frameworks like Next.js, Gatsby, Nuxt.js all "fully hydrate" the client. This means that

Author of the post. This is really an interesting take on shortcodes. I've been struggling with a format that the svelte compiler likes and can be used in markdown. This may be the answer. > <embed-youtube id="123asdf4"

Not arguing that. Updated the article template to keep others from getting infuriated. ;)

Hey, author here. I banged this out quickly and didn't update the template to include the date as an oversight. It was written in Nov 2020 as shown on the homepage.

Author here. At it's core most static site generators are just fancy "string concatenation" tools. In my experience playing with several generators before building Elder.js it isn't so much about the output that matters

by nickreese 5y ago
Shortcodes as they are implemented in Elder.js (what the article is about) are borrowed from WordPress. Basically they are a placeholder such as [[lastestTweet/]] that let you add dynamic content into otherwise static content. While El

Hey all -- Author here. This was a reflection on building Elder.js.[0] Happy to answer any questions. I'll be going through and adding context to the questions I see. [0]: https://elderguide.com/tech/elderjs/

The main problem with search today is the lack of organically appearing "curation" found on the early internet. Today everyone knows the value of a link, so it curation via links doesn't happen organically any more like it us

Really surprised this is the first I've seen of the idea for an API marketplace that seems to get the developer UX right. Would love to be an investor in this idea.

This x1000. D3 is such a great tool. Just the scales/coloring/map project libraries would be impressive standalone. D3 is incredible.

Elder.js supports Islands with SSR. It is also MIT. I released it as an SEO experiment as much as anything else. I’m enjoying the dev process and am committed to facilitating (myself or paying another) it’s maintenance for several years. I

Hey Elder.js author here. Only browsed their docs but here are the things that stand out in very quick read: - Framework agnostic but uses their own .astro language/filetype. Elder.js is Svelte only. - Both support partial hydration an

Thank you for this. This is the clearest way I’ve seen my approach to grieving spelled out.

In front end JS frameworks there is a tendency to render your site on the server, then also ship JS to the client which then takes over the rendering of the page and adds interactivity. As you can guess this adds a lot of overhead. Partial

Try the latest version pushed today. V1.4.0 moved the dev server into the rollup config and it should be a lot smoother.

by nickreese 5y ago
Yep. That’s the story. :) Lots of Svelte users asked how I built the site so I figured it was worth open sourcing.

Elder.js is designed to render the entire site at a time. 100 pages should take substantially less than 10s in most CI/CD pipelines. We refer to what you are looking for as incremental builds and it is honestly a pretty difficult probl

Nope. It generates a fully static site with HTML, CSS, JS that you can deploy with any static host. (s3, netlify, cloudflare workers)
