The difference for me is strangers vs. colleagues.
There's a lot more interruptions when you know the people around you.
Seems like not a huge stretch to apply how you use Google to LLMs and get good milage.
1. It seems like the save delay is a bit too long. If you reload the page within like 1s of writing, what you just wrote disappears. Maybe make that faster and/or include a confirmation that there's unsaved changes if you try to close so you don't lose changes.
2. I was expecting some of the other languages to evaluate too (specifically JS). Maybe I missed something, but it seems like just the Math blocks are evaluable? Does it work with JS too?
Some things I love: 1. Block concept! 2. It's a scratchpad, there's no files to save. I'd love to use this as a dev journal.
Go is a surprisingly pleasant language for building websites, especially for indie hackers, yet the tooling is not quite there. I'm trying to get the developer productivity for building websites in Go to be on par with building web applications in Node.
With ESBuild and Goja maturing, we're pretty close. Go is still just missing a few important connections needed to the frontend ecosystems (e.g. React, Tailwind, etc.)
Let me know if you're also interested in this space!
One thing that popped out was that it seems like .js files will also need to be transformed now to accommodate the $ to rune translation.
Feature request to make that optional, perhaps something like:
import { rune } from "svelte/rune"
let $count = rune(0)
Oh, one other thing. Will reactivity apply to nested fields in objects and arrays?This would be such a game-changer for server-side rendering Javascript in Go with V8.
I'd love to integrate this into Bud[1].
Does SQLite's virtual table API support writes?
A couple of us are working on Bud (http://github.com/livebud/bud), which aims to be a full-stack web framework for Go, similar to Laravel or Rails.
The project is getting better very quickly! If you're working on a greenfield project and want more out of the box, I'd encourage you to give Bud a try!
