Alpine is for example, I want to show/hide a menu on mobile. I want to upload files via drag and drop. I want to have a bin icon over an image when I hover with mouse to delete it. I want to double click an input field to edit it. I want to close an overlay when I click outside of it, or when I press “esc”.
Also modals, although you can do them in htmx very nicely too, so that’s borderline.
Anything that involves network, htmx.
Things that are just frontend, Alpine suits better.
_hyperscript is basically the Alpine equivalent.
It's like the difference between Turbo and Stimulus in the Rails world
Not sure about the Jupyter-specific issues but macOS comes with Python 2 installed, so you have to install Python separately and use the `python3` binary, or alias `python` to the `python3` binary.
Then remember to run pip using `python3 -m pip <command>` and use virtual environments (venv)
7 years ago Bruce Springsteen in Milan used this song as the intro theme for his concert and it was the best thing ever. Still get shivers looking at the video
That looks like a good explanation for all that monitoring borderline stalking going on in that specific room! I never thought of it, from now on I'll thank my dog for their service!
Great to hear! I'd say the biggest difference with WP is that you don't worry about plugins, updates, server, etc.
Maybe 50% of the posts I write are included in an ebook, I try to write them as a series, so they have a double purpose. One to help if you're searching specific information, the other more organized in an ebook where I explain something from the beginning with a clear structure. Making a series that ends up in an ebook also helps with ideas of what to write about, because I define all the topics beforehand.
The other 50% of the posts are individual pieces, maybe an explanation of a problem or task solved while coding, or just a description of something new I'm learning :)
I use Hugo for my blog but also for other non-blog sites. Generating static HTML gives me peace of mind and Go is super fast at regenerating the site.
Deploying is a joyful process using GitHub and Netlify.
I’d go static just to use Netlify.
And the best part for me is the tech is “boring” so I just focus on the content, rather than on the blog platform.
> [...] they have access to most of our web browsing via Google Chrome (62.5% market share – although given the amount of broken websites (some explicitly Chrome-only!) I’ve found since switching to Firefox, I believe this number may actually be higher)
Anecdotal, but I got in touch with a pretty popular newsletter hosting tool to tell them the charts on Firefox didn't render correctly, only to be told to use Chrome.
If it was backend-powered I could check a cookie, but the site is static. Since I made it dark-mode-first, I think it's a good compromise. Looking for other ideas too
I wrote a list of web applications ideas at https://flaviocopes.com/sample-app-ideas/, which can be implemented using React. Not too complex to distract you from learning React, not too boring like a todo app
I use Netlify (specialized in JAMstack / static sites). It has a generous free plan.
They can also register your domain, and the integrated interface makes it very easy to sping up a new site from a GitHub repo, assign it a new domain name, get SSL and be up and running in ~2 minutes.
