In response to this posti made a full-fledged video game that clocks in, unoptimized, at about half a megabyte. something about 500mb electron apps is, like, offensive to me. it isn’t a responsible use of resources, it isn’t a wise approach, it’s just lazy and ignorant. so i want to run laps around these dweebs with software the size of a game cart from 1986, because i can, and because you deserve better
oh, that game? it’s a nomadic city builder called The Longtime

In response to this postin pursuit of making tiny websites, i’m cutting react out of my stack as much as i can, which practically also includes nixing jsx. to that end, i published html-alchemist to provide a more concise way to express and template html in javascript, completely eliminating my need for jsx. combined with webcomponents, you can remove react from your stack entirely without losing any functionality — and you’ll never have to write an end tag again!

In response to this postmy appdev philosophy these days is to make web apps that clock in at under a megabyte, so they run everywhere and load *fast*. i want to make tooling that allows me to make more kinds of apps into tiny websites, especially multi-user apps like chatrooms, or social feeds. even once i complete minos 1.0, there will be tons of documentation to write to explain best practices in a “bring your own data” paradigm, but, personally? i think i write decent docs

In response to this postthe first app that will support minos integration — to support multi-device sync — will be my diary “spellbook” which you can already use:
https://garbados.github.io/spellbook/
spellbook stores its data in your browser, so your data never leaves your machine. once it has minos integration, your data will be able to sync using a minos token, so your data will only leave your machine to get stored on infrastructure you trust.

In response to this post“minos” is a proxy around couchdb that enables a “bring your own data” appdev paradigm. what does that mean? it means you can code your apps so users provide their own database info, so you don’t have to run servers as an appdev or access user data in any way, while users retain ownership of their data. users get this info from the minos server where they have an account, which an admin might host for their community. minos extends couchdb to ensure efficient resource usage and tight permissions

ok so i started working on the witch calendar because i wanted to 1) hate on the gregorian, as is my hater duty 2) get myself back into coding because i kinda lost momentum to depression. if you can read this, honestly, you probably know how it goes
so lemme tell you about what else i’m working on

i shrank the payload of witch-clock by another 20kb. 120kb total, 90 of which is the stylesheet

In response to this postdo you not like lisps because of a flavor’s ecosystem? its users? a lack of tooling? all of these are more valid than disliking parens. cope
@garbados for me the whole “because parentheses” take is incredibly ignorant and infuriating because the parentheses in Lisp is not just an arbitrary syntactic choice, it is a very important feature of the language: its elegant, minimalist syntax.
It is because of the parentheses and the prefix notation that the language is so tiny, and so minimal. It is because of parentheses that you can extend the language itself to include features like infix notation, or type checking, if you really need them. It is because of parentheses that we don’t see people designing entirely new programming languages that compile to Lisp just to add features like type checking. If JavaScript had been a real Lisp (as the original author intended), there would have never been any need for TypeScript, CoffeeScript, PureScript, ClojureScript, or whatever else.
The fact that people are never taught to appreciate the minimalist elegance of Lisp syntax has wasted, without exaggeration, many billions, possibly even trillions, of software engineering man-hours over the years.

“i don’t like lisp because of the parentheses” is a take i have less and less sympathy for over time. what, do you find this.kinda.bullshit() aesthetically inspiring? it’s all code. cope
