About Poefke

Founder of Muze.nl and co-founder of SimplyEdit.io.

I started working on the web in 1994 when I co-founded the Student Network Twente, on the University of Twente, managing a revolutionary high speed (10Mbps) network on the university campus.

Since 1997 I've worked professionally on building enterprise web content management solutions, including Ariadne CMS and Vedor. In 2015 we launched SimplyEdit, a true drag and drop user interface for the read-write web. Today we are working on extending this to a universal low-code application builder.

    LINQ is much more sophisticated, translating as much of the query as possible to the target (server) language, like SQL. JAQT is not doing that. lodash, underscore, and others, had…

    Author here, if you are comfortable with filter/map/reduce, than JAQT doesn't provide much benefits, I agree. My target audience is developers who aren't that used to that. I've ha…

    The target audience for unit tests is not the client, it is the developer. Unit tests allow you to change code with more confidence. 100% code coverage is not a useful aim, you sho…

    Yup, it was an experiment. There is a follow up, called cobalt: https://github.com/poef/cobalt/ But its not meant as production ready code, instead I'm exploring the concept and wh…

    The only reason I used a text format is because I wanted to keep the code as simple as possible. Only introducing extra complexity when I hit a wall somewhere. I don't know if the …

    Agreed, you cannot edit one part without the other. But there are many situations where this is not a drawback. Nobody is writing Word documents in a text editor for example. But I…

    Hi, original author here. When I started out I wasn't trying to solve a problem. I was exploring a concept I was curious about. But in the end, we (me and a colleague) ended up bui…

    Original author here, this is exactly right. Hierarchy and contentless annotations don't mix well. This is the main disadvantage when compared to xml/html and the like. On the othe…

    I like where this is going, I have been thinking about similar problems lately and, inspired by a talk from Alan Kay, started writing down a research direction for a solution. I'm …

    If you resize the image in steps, with each resize at least 50% of the previous step, you can do a pretty decent approximation of cubic resize using the canvas. Doing this for a ye…
