Frontend

Rust is so confusing to a JS/TS person like me. Idk wtf I'm doing but I managed to figure out how to create a sidecar in Tauri so I can run embedded executables within my application...I figured out how to close my app!

I just wish the JS APIs were as capable as the Rust ones. I did the sidecar stuff in JS first and then was surprised when I couldn't use npm modules to find the PID of the running process and kill it, because those use Node APIs that aren't available in browser environments like Tauri's front-end.

PHEW/SIGH

An attempt to run a binary executable from a Tauri 2.0 desktop app, from @netopwibby.eth.

Tauri’s approach of bridging its Rust backend to a webview’s JavaScript runtime via IPC is looking super promising. Just need more time to achieve feature parity across their JavaScript and Rust APIs.

I take an hour everyday to appreciate jquery for existing. There's not many libraries that improved developer quality of life that much and brought about the level of browser/js innovation it did.

Experimenting with integrating Revm into Tevm is both

- Not priority for myself atm heads down writing tests
- Likely the funnest thing to work on atm

So I figured I'd make an issue just in case someone wanted to experiment with it. It's actually not super complicated to do

Especially if you have a use case for using Revm in js reach out if you would like me to guide you along.

i need to put some serious intentional study into tailwind + shadcn (i used to be a senior frontend dev...like 10 years ago, want to get my mojo back)

are there any good resources out there you'd recommend? a guided course of some kind might be the vibe, but open to any suggestions

Will first party TS support make Node better than Deno or Bun? My gut says no and that it'll eventually lose marketshare to the alternatives, but still a pretty big step in the right direction

Browser based on WebKit/safari but with chrome extensions support

In theory, you’d simply write a cross-platform browser extension using the WebExtensions API.

In practice, publishing it to the App Store is prohibitively expensive compared to the Chrome Web Store, and Safari has a much smaller user base 🥲

Great article on CSS grid areas - never used these before but planning on trying them going forward!

Love CSS Grid.

What used to need two or three layers of `display: flex;` / `flex: 1;` / `flex: auto;` now just requires a single `display: grid;` and a well-thought-out `grid-template`.
