Why bluetooth? Buy something like Samson Q2U, it's cheap, usb-enabled, and dynamic, so that you don't need a treated room or a house empty of noises.

Actions are somewhat similar, yeah, even if much more limited.

Svelte was too js-heavy, and it requires js backend to be rendered on the server - while we had no js engineers. Plus markup was already done, as we rendered it server-side when using React.

Yeah, that was the inspiration. If you know, htmx predecessor was called intercooler.js, so I just continued the automotive theme. :)

I had a reference on main page for a long time...

Yeah it’s only the first way, since the second is effectively the same as rendering html on the server.

As for the first - it could give a way to use legacy apis and static data. Not sure if I want this in the core, but… how hard can it be?

Thanks for that message, it was just hard for me to decide on what to put in there :)

But your comment forced me to, so I've put something in there, even if it's not really thought through. :)

It's more like an alternative implementation of htmx. Alpine is more about "let's do components in HTML", and this one is more of an idea "how do not go there, but still have practical results". :)

Two reasons really: I wrote it before htmx appeared, so it already existed and a few projects were using it in production. And second one - I really hate attribute inheritance, and it’s everywhere in htmx…

I haven't read your report completely, but it's very interesting.

I would love to hear a bit more details about query selector performance. Could you maybe provide some details or a pointer where this was tested?

Also about websockets vs HTTP calls: HTTP calls do not open separate socket connection even when you're using HTTP/1.1 with keep alive, with HTTP/2 it's a default way of working, so should not be a problem. I guess something else is a culprit here?

It's not even close - it's not feasible to develop a real server application in a notebook, while you're absolutely will be doing REPL-driven development in Clojure.

Not really, you're looking at this very superficially. It's just an unfamiliar syntax.

If you're really interested, just try to get through that syntax once and you'll find that it's not that alien.

That’s because our industry is not making choices based on merit, it makes them based on fashion.

I disagree. Making a good site with React takes more effort than not making bad site otherwise. Also because it’s fashionable React (and similar frameworks like Angular or Vue or Ember) are used in places where they don’t belong and it stinks.

I use xnipapp.com right now and this looks even better in terms of editing tools, except for one thing: scrolling capture. It allows me to capture scrolling portions of the screen and it's just so damn useful!

Well, because they don’t have enough processing power I guess? IDK, it’s hot all the time and image quality is lower than what I can get from a camera SD card.

This is plainly wrong. I use Sony a5100 (cheapest camera you can hook up as webcam) and in zoom meetings the difference between my image and others (even though some tried to use their phones) is just night and day.

Disclaimer: I am that brother referred in the article. :)

you can get cheap china-knockoffs for about £12, I don't know how good they are.

They are so-so. Well, they are much-much better than any webcam, of course, but 1080p is almost the same as 720p on them. So as a budget thingie it'll work, but Elgato's adapter is much better, of course.
