   Has almost everything I need

   I've started using this as my main IDE for new projects when I'm trying things out. If it keeps getting better at the rate it has been, it'll be even better than coding locally.

   Competitors: replit

   Pros:    Easy to get started and operate|Fast|Supports common extensions|Works with most npm packages

   Cons:    Still not as good as local development|Can be hard to debug|Build times can be slower than local

• Don't let your Mac's storage fill up

  Don't pay $10 for what you can get for free: https://github.com/RobinNaumann/disko, https://grandperspectiv.sourceforge.net/, https://www.derlien.com/, etc… Otherwise, this is good advice. My cousin, who isn't particularly computer savvy thought that buying an Apple computer meant he wouldn't need computer expertise, but it stopped booting after running out of disk space during an update, and he didn't have the... - Source: Hacker News / 4 months ago

• Anthropic Cowork feature creates 10GB VM bundle on macOS without warning

  I simply run GrandPerspective (GUI app, https://grandperspectiv.sourceforge.net/), or dust (terminal app, https://github.com/bootandy/dust), to give me an idea of what is going on with disk usage. - Source: Hacker News / 6 months ago

• Anthropic Cowork feature creates 10GB VM bundle on macOS without warning

  I’d recommend GrandPerspective:[1] it’s really good at displaying this sort of thing, has been around for over two decades, and the developer has managed to keep it to <5MB which is perfect when you’re running very low on space.

• Scan Your Linux Disk and Visualize It on Mac with GrandPerspective

  GrandPerspective is a useful disk space visualization tool for Mac. Have you ever wanted to scan files on Linux and visualize their disk usage with GrandPerspective? I created a Rust-based command-line tool called gpscan that scans directories on Linux and generates GrandPerspective-compatible files. - Source: dev.to / over 1 year ago

• WinDirStat – Windows Directory Statistics

  For my MacOS friends, it might be a little outdated but I prefer GrandPerspective: https://grandperspectiv.sourceforge.net/. - Source: Hacker News / over 2 years ago

• RS-X: Framework-agnostic reactive state and expressions for JavaScript/TS

  Managing reactive state and dependent computations in JavaScript can get complex, especially when combining asynchronous and synchronous data. RS-X is a library that allows you to bind expressions to plain objects and makes the parts of the model used by those expressions fully reactive. Dependent computations automatically update when the underlying data changes. RS-X is framework-agnostic. While it can drive UI... - Source: Hacker News / 7 months ago

• Show HN: I combine Htmx, LiveView and SolidJS for interactive server components

  I like htmx, LiveView, React and Solid. They are great at different points, so I try to combine them in Solv (Stateless Offline-capable LiveView) and write a prototype to show the benefits. Solv's main idea is that stateless servers keep client's state in a volatile cache. It enables server components that are also interactive, which is best of both worlds between LiveView and htmx. Then fine-grained reactivity is... - Source: Hacker News / 10 months ago

• Show HN: Solv – Stateless Offline-Capable LiveView – Prototype 03

  I like htmx, LiveView, React and Solid. They are great at different points, and this is a prototype trying to combine them. Solv's main idea is that stateless servers keep client's state in a volatile cache. It enables server components that are also interactive, which is best of both worlds between LiveView and htmx. Then fine-grained reactivity is added to achieve efficient DOM updates + minimal payload size.... - Source: Hacker News / 10 months ago

• AutoView - turning your blueprint into UI components (AI Code Generator)

  In the code editor tab (powered by StackBlitz), navigate to the env.ts file and enter your OpenAI key. Run npm run generate in the terminal to see how @autoview generates TypeScript frontend code from example schemas derived from both TypeScript types and OpenAPI documents. - Source: dev.to / over 1 year ago
