CodePen is too slow

I catch myself using the Marko playground for tons of little utilities & demos that use zero Marko features

Excited for this one!
There is hate for JS on the server. But none have accomplished what @markojs.com has. Forget Islands, forget serialization boundaries, forget writing code twice. Just declarative templates, low JS, automatically.

@dpiercey.me joins me Friday to show how it's done.

SoME4 peer review is open!

Skimming over the entries list, I'm really impressed by the quality and work everyone put in their entries. We've got some gems in there.

Time to review, vote and spread the word!

Mental Models

Forms & Links - rerender everything, every click
jQuery - imperatively perform updates
React - rerender everything, every click?

Just found the toggle between "font-elegant" and "font-boring" on the @svelte.dev docs 🤣

I'm on board with elegant any day of the week, serifs rule

trust on the web would be a completely different game if we could be websites everywhere
patak.dev patak @patak.dev · Nov 25
If using domains as handles would spread to other services, the story would be even better, because people will know you by that same domain everywhere, all linking to the same website. So trust you build in any of the services spreads to the others.

Engineers: constraints -> canvas
Designers: canvas -> constraints

Each methodology is ideal for its job

I didn't *get* Figma until I understood this idea
