just if i need to type something quickly, to somewhere with effectively zero startup time, just quickly pop a new tab and get a thought down. it's easy for me to lose a thought when im in the middle of something complex, so "time-to-written-down" is kinda the only thing that matters to me

Hey Alessandro - I'm a huge fan of WebVM + y'all's other work at Leaning Tech.

Curious - is your implementation of how you wrangled lwIP for the networking piece open source? I had previously read the article you linked elsewhere, re: networking, but would love to see the specifics of your approach there.

WASM by example 3 years ago

This is exactly one of the use-cases for the Scale Framework[1]. (Full disclosure: I work on this project)

You can absolutely take a library from one language and run it in another. In a sense, you could kind of see this ability as drastically reducing the need for rewriting sdks, middlewares, etc. across languages, as you could just reuse code from one language across many others. We played around with some fun ideas here, like taking a Rust regex library and using it in a Golang program via a scale function plugin (compiled to Wasm), to the effect of the performance being ~4x faster than native code that uses Go's regex library[2].

A simple website deployer that has free server-side analytics on deploy.

It was a pandemic side-project, and I was mostly just interested to see what was involved in building it.

I made a paid plan and integrated stripe because I liked the idea of it possibly paying for its own infra costs at some point. I have some ideas for features I want to add for fun, hopefully in the next couple months.
