I took the time to release a small but important update many of you asked for already!
#Questlog now has alternative names in the database (currently indexing; in a few hours everything should be there). So you'll be able to search for games like you know them!
I am a big proponent of a programming paradigm where writing code and building up relationships and connections leads to the emergence of new, unforeseen connections and avenues. Instead of leading you down the wrong paths and requiring rewrites, coding should sculpt and shape connections, offering surprising new connections for free. #software#code#programming#webdev#javascript
Choosing the right icon is hard. 😅
So many possibilities and so many possibilities that you don't understand the icon. Sometimes I wish I also had design skills. #Coding#WebDev
If you want to write a game like Dryads Sun yourself, just clone https://hg.sr.ht/~arnebab/dryads-sun — the game is free licensed under AGPL and the tooling under LGPL (so unfree games are possible, though that’s not what I write).
Don't forget to test your websites with throttled connection and without JS 🤓
I just discovered a bug in my personal website because I forgot the latter.
Okayyyy, new Instance, new fedi software, new #introduction!
I'm Schrottkatze, I'm a hacker catgirl from germany and I'm a rust programmer, a 3d artist. I used to do webdev things, I still do way too much, and because of that I also accidentally ended up being a design nerd, so ya that too. Basically anything with computers will get me interested.
I'm quite very passionate about digital rights, privacy, accessibility and free software as well.
Don't be disillusioned by me daily driving NixOS and Xmonad, I don't actually know much, if anything at all, about functional programming but... well, I try, okay?
My personal website has been using #jekyll for years, but I update it very infrequently, and every time I need to, some jekyll/ruby dependency or another has somehow broken or gotten out of date, and I have to dig around in docs to remember how to fix it.
It's getting real old.
Is there a better, simpler, lighter weight #webdev solution for #markdown based static sites these days?
HTMX is trending again on hacker news, it's making me think more and more about the deno / typescript library I created "HTMX Components" and perhaps revisiting it with fresh eyes. I'd love feedback on the approaches in there. I think @deno_land has the potential to be the first-class server to utilize HTMX. It just makes sense to use JSX... #htmx#html#deno#javascript#typescript#webdev#server
Question for people who make websites, especially hobby websites, that use cookies:
what do you put in those cookies? They're allowed to be up to like 4KB for your whole domain, right?
That both seems like too much for "just" a user/session ID, while also being too little to hold actual state (like, game history & stats) for a website with a dozen toys on it.
@bgawalt incidentally I once worked at a company where I was assigned a weird bug: if you added too many items to their shopping cart, it would eventually push the oldest item out, every time you added a new item.
Turns out they stored the entire shopping cart (sku, quantity, price for each individual item) in the cookie. (Thankfully they did at least do server side validation upon submission of order)
