Does anyone know if the original promise of their simple layout model proved itself? IIRC, the Flutter team mentioned how using just width/height constraints is enough to represent all relevant layouts. This sounds very nice, being so

What's the state of FOSS licensing compliance? Have they repented?

Do these providers have 80+% gross margins or is something eating into them? Maybe utilization?

This is a bit of an "XY Problem" question. I have migrated all my code to Gleam, FE and BE, Bun, browser, and BEAM. Claude knows much less about Gleam than it does about Javascript or React. However the constraints of Gleam and it

Yep, that's about it. I am making a TUI for non-techies, packing it with Ghostty, and sending it to non-techies to use: https://github.com/weedonandscott/trolley

They should just use Trolley[0] which will ship their TUI inside Ghostty. [0]: https://github.com/weedonandscott/trolley

TUIs are so nice. Please consider using Trolley to package this for non-technical users: https://github.com/weedonandscott/trolley

You should try Gleam. I'm using it in production to great delight: https://blisswriter.app/ https://blog.nestful.app/p/how-we-dropped-vue-for-gleam-and

Computed is only a concept because you need a band-aid for that lack of separation. You can read more about my efforts ditching Vue here: https://blog.nestful.app/s/the-tech-behind-nestful

Yes. In the Elm architecture it is possible (and ergonomic) to model your state separately from the view

The problems OP tries to address are unfortunately a deep design flaw in mainstream frameworks like React and Vue. This is due to 2 properties they have: 1. They marry view hierarchy to state hierarchy 2. They make it very ergonomic to put

Thanks. Will be a while before I could give this a shot...

Very nice Could I use OpenTUI Core with this? I'd like to replace the hero at https://blisswriter.app with the actual app

Thanks. This was written for my own screenwriting software, which is now in private alpha. It works quite nicely for an alpha https://blisswriter.app

I use libghostty for Trolley[0], which packages TUIs as desktop apps, like Electron does for web apps. It really is quite an amazing piece of software. I just wrapped it in a useful GUI and a bundle/package CLI and it just works. Even

I think it may actually work. It's just that I only have a VM to test it on, and it does not support OpenGL. I got it to compile and run, but it crashed on that VM limitation. Feel free to open issues in the repo, I'll find a way

Yes, that's it. It came about after writing a small TUI for a friend to back up their Vimeo library. They liked the simplicity and speed but not having to use the shell. Didn't want to install Ghostty either. So here we are

I find the decay of human connections an interesting problem to solve. I used to have an app that encouraged meeting in person by utilizing friends inviting other friends[0]. This solved many app-problems like correct matching and safety. D

I'm the author of Trolley[0] (Electron for TUIs). It was so easy to get the terminal functionality going with `libghostty`. Most time was spent building the functionality around it. Thanks for making it. [0]: https://github.

I read somewhere, but can't remember where, that a major reason those APUs aren't as efficient as the Apple ones is a conscious decision to share the architecture with Epyc and therefore accept worse efficiency at lower wattage a

I work in Gleam on my software and it's a treat. I use the FFI for JS libraries all the time.

Yes. https://nestful.app used to be TS + Vue but it's almost entirely Gleam now, with Lustre used for state management and only the views being Vue templates. Those will also be migrated away for a fully Lustre solution. Bl

I moved to Gleam with all of my projects and am not going back. The language is fantastic but really the most impactful are the coding paradigms that it enables, especially the actor model and especially on the front end (The Elm Architectu

I was talking just about the look of it, and not the interactivity. UX's familiarity bar is much higher than than the UI one. Edit: And even for UX -- I am confident in saying we did not reach max usability yet. Some people (me include
