You're welcome in D2! I maintain a Text to diagram language, released a few months ago, 13k+ stars, I'm actively tagging issues that are good first issues, clean well-tested Go, and I'm happy to help you get that first merge in. Feel free to chime in on any issue that looks interesting! https://github.com/terrastruct/d2. Source: about 1 year ago

Right. It's okay to leave written documentation on SaaS (e.g. Notion), because the text is the artifact. If they're shutting down, or I don't like them anymore, I just move the text. But if Ilograph goes down, all I have is useless YAML. Our team went through this thought process when we decided to open source our text-to-diagram language, users need to be able to reproduce their docs even if we shut down... - Source: Hacker News / about 1 year ago

But they may be an overkill if your primary use case is to infrequently build semi-interactive reports for non-technical end-users and your use cases are are mostly covered by standard graphs & tables. Esp. So if you are familiar with SQL and have access to the underlying data source. Two nifty utilities I have found to be... - Source: Hacker News / 3 months ago

I feel obligated to add a shameless plug here. The idea is very close to a project I presented at pgconf.eu last week: SQLPage https://sql.ophir.dev/ SQLPage has the same goal as postgrest+htmx, but is a little bit higher level. It let's you build your application using prepackaged components you can invoke directly from SQL, without having to write any HTML, CSS, or JS. - Source: Hacker News / 6 months ago

I have been thinking about that a lot recently. Where I work, we spend a very small fraction of our time on building things that are unique to our business. Maybe we are doing something very wrong, but I am under the impression that most of the code that gets written is extremely low-entropy. This low-entropy, repetitive coding is not limited to the user interfaces. We do tend to describe the same structures and... - Source: Hacker News / 7 months ago
