Hey everybody! I am together with my brother working on a DSL for building full-stack web apps. It is a pretty big task but we are trying to go step by step.

It's an OSS, you can check it out here: https://github.com/wasp-lang/wasp

Our latest demo, visually inspecting your web-app code: https://wasp-lang.dev/#wasp-inspector

Would love to hear what you think!

I'm writing a supervisor / init system in Rust, called Horust (from Horus "the one from the above" + Rust). It's inspired by supervisord, you define a service in toml with a bunch of properties (like start delay, restart strategies, start after another service and so on) and then you just let horust manage the system. I've designed it with the use case of running multiple processes in a single container in mind. I kn…

I've got a great use case for horust, or at least a container init process capable of running multiple child processes (kubernetes nodes inside containers).

Consider me interested. Contact me via the email listed in my profile.

A book to help programmers move forward in their career by understanding and leveraging at a greater level of mastery how humans and computers interact. I'm about 300 pages in on the first draft, easily past the half-way point, and now all I need to do is push hard to get the initial content on paper. Then comes the hard work of editing/sourcing. (It's all hard work, actually. I have no idea why people go to the trou…

Sounds really interesting. Is all or most of it based on personal experience o anecdotes? Is there a way to get notified when it's ready?

I am developing a modern wikipedia interface - a Vuejs powered modern, single page, progressive, offline capable web application for Wikipedia. I have been working on this for last several months and have working version available at https://wikipedia.thottingal.in Source code and more details available at https://github.com/santhoshtr/wikivue It is a fully client side PWA application using wikipedia web apis, instal…

This looks pretty clean! The enhanced readability reminds me of Wikiwand.

If you're looking for a bit of feedback, the search doesn't seem to handle fast typing well. I tried searching for "Frank Chu" and it seems that if I type it really fast, I get either no results or Franks that aren't Frank Chu. If I type slower, Frank Chu shows up.

I’m working on a tool that allows developers to record and playback interactive, guided walkthroughs of a codebase, directly from their editor. It’s called CodeTour, and it’s currently available as a VS Code extension: https://aka.ms/codetour . I built it because I frequently find myself looking to onboard (or “reboard”) to a project, and not knowing exactly where to start. After speaking to a bunch of other develope…

Awesome tool!

I’m working on a domain-specific language for building GraphQL APIs in no time.

I’m building this because I think that building APIs is unnecessarily tedious and I wanted to he able to iterate on ideas faster.

It’s called Pragma (https://pragmalang.com). I would really appreciate any feedback.
