Your project is a bit similar to mine and I am very curious about how you use Blockstack.

I have been hosting a CouchDB instance myself on a VPN but considered moving to Firebase while prototyping since it seems easier to use. Considering Firebase since it offers offline-first support. However, only today I was made aware of Blockstack and I have seen it mentioned multiple places.

How do you like working with Blockstack and what made you choose it? Does your app work offline? Does it synchronize automatically between devices?

I also want to take data privacy very seriously, since I am dealing with personal and sensitive data (just like a person's journal is very sensitive to them).

Does anyone have experience using Fulcro just for frontend (no backend)? I have been considering it versus Reagent and Rum for building a heavy client-side app that doesn't need a server (nothing to store in a database, local storage is fine). At some point I might add users for data sync between client and server but I don't plan to do SSR for SEO purposes at least.

What I am curious about is if I use Fulcro, will I write a lot more code to do the same as in Reagent/Rum because it's supposed to play well with a backend that's (for now) non-existent? Does it provide better tools for client-side state management compared to Rum/Reagent (+ re-frame)?

Right now I am using just Rum with its built-in cursors and derived atoms and the experience is okay. I did try DataScript but ended up just with a simple atom for now.

I haven't looked much into lit-html but is it possible to type check your templates like you can do with JSX? That is one big advantage I found for JSX compared to template-based frameworks.

That being said, I intend to replace reagent soon with just raw React + a few helpers

Do you intend to keep using ClojureScript or use JavaScript/TypeScript? I read pure React with ClojureScript is rather painful (mostly due to the props conversion but maybe that's what your helpers are for?)

I am asking since I am still considering between React (JS/TS) and Reagent/Rum (CLJS) for a side project of mine.

These sounds like exceptions rather than errors to me. Difference being, exceptions truly are exceptional and not anticipated; like running out of memory. How do you even handle that? Would probably let it crash and restart (Erlang model). Errors is something you anticipate can happen, such as getting 4xx-5xx back from the server and know what to do in those cases.

Then it's fair to say that you definitely can't get an error by adding two numbers.

Each YouTube channel also has an RSS feed you can subscribe to. That way you don't tell Google who you are.

  1. Go to any YouTube channel you wish to subscribe to (such as youtube.com/user/YouTube).
  2. View source.
  3. Search for rssUrl or channel_id.
There should be a link to an ordinary RSS feed you can use with any reader. Hope this is useful for you.

How could I incrementally migrate a TypeScript React project to a BuckleScript (maybe using Reason bindings) React project using webpack? Could I easily add the bs-loader and just import BuckleScript components into my TypeScript components? Can BuckleScript share types with TypeScript or would that require an external TypeScript type definition file?

It looks very interesting and I am really missing some of the features when working with TypeScript. It could be useful if I could slowly transform the codebase from TypeScript to BuckleScript.

I am from Denmark; I thought this was much more common in the world. Definitely way more than being part of the eight countries to have these strict laws apparently.

Always thought it was strange you could call your child McBurger if you wanted or apparently Number 16 Bus Shelter.

I know one who got Jazz rejected even though people still plus twenty years later call her Jazz.

How would you feel about

  > 1 through 3
  # [1, 2, 3]

  > 1 until 3 # or 1 to 3
  # [1, 2]
as explicit word range notation?
