Interesting, on that page using Safari, clicking on the home/nue logo or most other links/buttons results in a null error :)
I would hope React buttons work when people click on them though.

HN is one of very few places where I feel "at home".
Thank you @dang, and everyone else!

No wonder why these software projects (personal as well as professional ones) are 6 years late. It may be a good learning experience, but a terribly inefficient way of developing software.
Exactly why I have zero regrets going native on macOS. Yes, Xcode isn't the best to put it mildly and SwiftUI is still maturing.. but I am so glad I don't have to deal with the modern web stack. Daily smiles instead of facepalms, most of the time!
Not to downplay QBE, but the initial goal of QBE was to provide 90% of the performance in 10% of the code, until it was changed to 70%. You generally don't know how much of Rust (or anything else) is possible without actually trying.
I wonder how soon they will arrive at 80%/20%.

UTM is great, and once snapshot capability is added [1] it will become my default recommendation for sure. Until then sticking with Parallels. NOTE: An unofficial snapshot manager exists [2].
