• Ode to the M1

  What I'd really like to see with CEF et al, is JS being dropped, in favor of directly controlling the DOM from the host language. Then we could, for example, write a Rust (or Kotlin, Zig, Haskell, etc) desktop application that simply directly manipulated the DOM, and had it rendered by a HTML+CSS layout engine. Folks could then write a React-like framework for that language (to help render & re-render the DOM in... - Source: Hacker News / 10 months ago

• Ode to the M1

  > I hope Electron/CEF die soon, and people get back to building applications that don't consume hundreds of megabytes of RAM to render a hello world. Web technologies are fine, but what we really need is some kind of lightweight browser which allows you to use HTML/CSS/JS, but with far lower memory usage. I found https://ultralig.ht/ which seems to be exactly what I am looking... - Source: Hacker News / 10 months ago

• Anselm's Jazz Distributed Infrastructure Framework

  I'm curious if the project will be open-source or do you have plans to go the Awesomium/Ultralight route with both open/closed sources and volume licenses? Or do you plan to offer commercial support services like other open source software? Source: 11 months ago

• Best cross-platform (Win, Mac, Linux) desktop frameworks?

  I’m not tied to any language, but it needs to be able to wrap a c++ library. I started with .NET 7 MAUI - no linux support & very mobile focused. Tried out Electron. Wins on ease and usability, but has massive overhead. (Basic “Hello world” executable compiled to over 200mb) I then discovered Ultralight (https://ultralig.ht/). Big win on size, but was last updated 3 years ago. Source: 12 months ago

• Remember when this was 0% and 70 mb? This is comical.

  Tauri exists or if you wanted to ultralig.ht. Source: 12 months ago

• Netlify just sent me a $104K bill for a simple static site

• Why is kubernetes source code an order of magnitude larger than other container orchestrators?

  Considering other orchestration tools like dokku, dcos, deis, flynn, docker swarm, etc.. Kubernetes is no where near to them in terms of lines of code, on an average those tools are around 100k-200k lines of code. Source: over 1 year ago

• How to set up HTTPS/SSL/TLS for a .dev domain, django/wagtail, Nginx, and docker/docker-compose

  If I could make a recommendation, it would be to give Dokku a try. (Disclaimer: not affiliated, but like the project so much I sponsor it. My opinions are biased towards it.). Source: almost 2 years ago

• What are the best and most affordable .NET 6 web app hosting options?

  My next favorite option is to host on a DigitalOcean VM. You can use Dokku to get your own mini-Heroku PaaS, or manage the VM yourself (following Microsoft's documentation). You can get a $100 60-day credit from a referral link - A good way to get started. Source: about 2 years ago
