The component library I want is SUPER opinionated but also mostly unstyled.
I want it to force me to do things right, like force tooltips on some components but BAN them on others.
I want it to force me to use its built-in data-attributes for styling, but also allow me to use any styling tools.

Are y'all using node 'subpath imports' yet? I've been using them for a couple of months and apart for some minor inconveniences they are working super well! I never thought about going back to typescript path aliases.
If you're not, maybe you should!

You can't stop me from playing Metroid Fusion on a GBA emulator on my modded Wii.
I do own a computer and I do own several other consoles. But this is the way you are supposed to play GBA games.

In Firefox, if you could filter network requests based on path/file.. you could negate the filter and exclude all requests from the vite dev server.
I think that's something we need. Vite module requests always spam the network panel.

I'm learning so much more about CSS by building surimi (because I am forced to read the CSS specification).
For example, just wrote some types to figure out all possible @media query descriptors you can use.

Heard people say all JS package managers work the same (so they stick with the abandoned npm).
They don’t: npm can be up to 2x slower than pnpm.
And the gap in DX and security is even bigger.

Is there anyone who knows how to hook up a @stackblitz.com Webcontainer instance to a Monaco editor? I'm talking typescript type resolution, getting JSDoc comments from node_modules etc.
I can get it to work by including typescript and @typescript/vfs in the build but.. that seems overkill?

I have to say: If I trust anyone to make this move into a commercial direction it's the people behind vite, vitest, rolldown etc.
A few people are absolutely carrying WebDev tooling through the last couple of years mostly for free... So if they now want to get SOME money from FFANG etc that's good

I got the "paru.dev" domain. Thought it sounded nice. Let's see if I ever use it.
There is the paru package manager already. Maybe I'll give it to them if they need it.

Writing rollup/vite plugins is super easy and satisfying.
But transpiring and executing typescript in the build process is surprisingly hard.
Especially because node still doesn't really like to execute ESM, ESPECIALLY not when it uses ES imports.

Hell yeah. I'll pay the first 50 bucks xD love the idea.
You know what ? I want to create the @smallweb.run version of tilde.town (i'm a fan)
We all share a 5$ vps, and you can apply to get your own account on the shared vps for free.
Each folder you create in your home directory becomes a live website at https://<app>.<username>.smallweb.club
