Go would probably be my favorite language if it just had a few more features around functional programming. Specifically around immutability and nullness, and maybe exhaustive switch statements. Then it just might be perfect.

At work we use Uber’s NillAway, so that helps bit. https://github.com/uber-go/nilaway Though actually having the type system handle it would be nicer.

Go with Sum types and no nil pointers would be fantastic! Is it too much to dream of? It feels like Gleam gets pretty close but it flies off in a bunch of other directions.

You should have licensed it under AGPL; Anthropic then would have reached you to negotiate a commercial license or contribute back to the project, since AGPL forces server-side code disclosures when deployed. Without that, they can legally use, modify, and profit from it without sharing improvements or compensating you

Notion is not an example of delightful software and it is very much one of the most reproducible apps ever. I don't know how they managed to make it fashionable amongst startups, but it's certainly not because it's an innovative product.

please name some open source (or lower priced) alternatives that support: comments on documents, database functionality to a similar level, publishing websites, scripting for properties. I'm very curious!

Every time I see this I think "cool! I can run some cool Android app that doesn't have a Linux counterpart" and every time I fail to think of anything. Are there any must have Android apps out there?

Lots of mapping apps have no equivalent, especially with an interface optimized to work on a phone

There's a TUI application out there that might be up your alley, but I can't remember what it's called...

EDIT: There's one called Posting which seems to be the most popular: https://github.com/darrenburns/posting

kellpossible2 · 10 months ago

https://github.com/LucasPickering/slumber is also a good TUI alternative

Between massacring the UX and copilot I've more or less stopped engaging with github. I got tempted the other day to comment on an issue and it turns out the brain trust over at Microsoft broke threaded comment replies. They still haven't fixed keyboard navigation in their bullshit text widget.

I could put up with the glacial performance if it actually worked in the first place, but apparently adding whiz bang "AI" features is the only thing that matters these days.

The whole thing smacks of a rewrite so someone could get a bonus and/or promotion.

Surprisingly my experience of GitLab is even worse! How's yours? BitBucket wasn't much better from memory either. Seems like most commercial offerings in this spaces suck.

I did something very similar with https://github.com/kellpossible/avalanche-report/ we started with Google Sheets because it allowed us to quickly iterate with data entry workflow. When paired with a server this also allowed us to generate custom charts/diagrams via the IMAGE function with a crafted URL query. Reads are cached in a local sqlite database.

We're in the process of migrating away from Google Sheets now as it's a little painful to set up and it's impossible to completely prevent users from editing the wrong fields in our use case. But it has served very well so far and would highly recommend this approach to start with for anyone!

Do you really want to deal with caching logic for what should be a simple API call? Sounds like a convincing argument to use whatever this product is.

kellpossible2 · 2 years ago

It's max a couple of hours work to cache in some local database like sqlite or in memory.
