Fun! A Rust + WASM implementation of "Game of Life":

I tried this a few years ago, and the Rust ecosystem is a lot more mature now - got lots setup, including test coverage running in Node/Chrome - in <1 hour.

This entire time I could have been using retro-style codepage 437 glyphs as icons??? This changes ... something.

You don't always need to use codegen (or custom lints) in your apps or packages.

Just write a test.

For example, I have a Codepage437Icons class, where I need to (manually) include a string-based representation of the icons, so I wrote a test to check I don't forget any!

I often use a macOS app to "simulate" building a mobile app in Flutter, particularly before I need any platform-specific functionality.

Here are some changes I make to `MainFlutterWindow.swift`.

The result is a cute always-on-top window sized somewhat like an iPhone SE. No plugins needed.

We call this “the cat house” (yes - have seen animal control out here before)
