Excited to announce Faroe - a modular auth server distributed as a Go package

- Handles all the hard parts of auth
- Works with your existing user table (no direct db connections)
- Just bring a KV store + email server
- Runs anywhere

2 hours... stay tuned :D

I was using SQLite here but it'll work with anything. You get full control of the user table and you add additional columns and create relationships with other tables

But essentially for the client side you just have to call createSignup(), verifyEmailAddressVerificationCode(), etc

The more interesting part is the backend, which I'm not going to share just yet

Here's a quick demo for the auth thing I've been working on

I also recorded myself showing a bit of the code but it was so bad I had to cut it

I'll be at @vuefes.bsky.social this year!

IMO Neapolitan pizza in Tokyo is on par with Naples' but I still haven't found a gelato place here that comes even close to what I had in Rome. I miss them so much

Better than last time and I think I can improve it one more time

absolutely horrendous ui

(the 3 selection boxes are area > prefecture > city)

Carbonara! I think this was better than the ones I had in Rome

New toy!

How are you this bad at implementing a spec
May 20, 2025 at 11:57 AM
One of the worst offender yet

Totally missed this! It's been just over 4 years since I started programming

Hoping my 5th year will be even more exciting!

left is vscode and right is my own syntax highlighter - it's soooo much better
(just finished adding class support)

Squashed most major issues with my syntax highlighter and parser. Gonna need to test it against some test262 test cases next

Finally some good fucking cookies. Crispy on the edge and chewy and soft in the middle

For reference, this is what it look like in vscode. Deeply nested types lose their color. Some other highlighters break down when 'infer' is used as well

(code from Elysia's repo)

Rebuilt the TS type parser, and look at that consistency! No more symbols highlighted in different colors or not highlighted at all

(creating a syntax highlighter from scratch :D)

Photos of cats I met in Italy (that aren't a blurry mess lol)

Just came back from Italy! Visited Rome, the Vatican, Naples, Capri, and Caiazzo. I had so much fun with my camera
