A webui halicunated just for you? I think this must be by far the scariest and from my point of view worst idea you could ever come up with, no offense. Why would you ever want your web-experience to be non deterministic. A different ui every time you load? Even longer loading spinners then with mbs of react dependencies today? This is wrong on more levels then I could count

Could make that an AGENT.md and use a dumber model via opencode to slop maxx even harder!

Claude, FAIL all tests except for the one that produces a correct output _most_ of the time please."

yes! I just don't understand that as well. Up until some time ago claud code's preferred install was a npm i, wasn't it? Please serious answers for why anyone would use a web language for a terminal app


Because it's what the person writing it's preferred language.

So it can share code with the web app.

Because writing it in javascript is easier than writing it in raw brute forced assembly.


3 source files, nice code, no vibe-coding slob, nice little project... That's rare these days


Bat is nice. Oh dang now i have to try this plugin. I remember trying a couple of similar ones that got me so frustrated that i abandoned the idea of markdown viewers in nvim... Here we go again XD


render-markdown.nvim is very nice and works with GitHub Flavoured Markdown, even down to some of the newer features like INFO, IMPORTANT, etc. quotes.



Just as the modern Javascript applications. What if - and hear me out on this one - Javascript just is a poor choice for huge complex codebases?


What else should you use for huge complex web apps?


Keep the huge, complex business logic on the server whenever possible.

That doesn't work for webapps that are effectively entirely based on client side reactivity like Figma, though the list of projects that need to work like that is extremely low. Even for those style of apps I do wonder how far something like Phoenix LiveView might go towards the end goal.


maybe, just maybe, the browser is not always the best tool for the job


I think that there are more apps that are better off as web apps (cross platform and sandboxed) than not.


But I hired the whole react dev, so I’ll use the whole react dev!

<3 if I don't see 15 new node modules and 3 CVEs by EOB today I'll replace you with a css architect and vibe-coding nft monkey by next week!


Why they call pipes filter? And if... endif? Not for me


This is a Rust port of the Ruby implementation which was popularized by Jekyll, so it just does whatever was done in the Ruby implementation.

Mass of learning material doesn't equal quality though. The amount of poor react code out there is not to underestimate. I feel like llm generated gleam code was way cleaner (after some agentic loops due to syntactic misunderstanding) than ts/react where it's so biased to produce overly verbose slob.


Grepping "extends" over a new codebase is a quick way to see how fucked you are when joining a new project/team.
