I gave this a go recently, nice work! In a few hours I was able to get a really nice looking UI starting from an example.

I got a bit frustrated when it came to managing state though. I struggled to mutate and view the same state across all web users, instead of creating state per user that connects. However this is still a great framework I’ll definitely revisit in the future!

Just to offset the negative comments on here, I think what you did is great! I don't think people appreciate the 1.5 years of individual effort you put into this and the demo looks like something I would find genuinely very useful. This clearly has lots of potential!

I would honestly prefer paying for it, perhaps with a cut-down free version (perhaps using cached data only?) without sign-up to try it out, so one day you can work on it comfortably and doesn't require commitment for me to try out.

However I'm sure you'll refine it in the years to come considering how well you've done so far. Keep up the good work!

Really amazing work, well done! Having something like this when growing up would've made electronics so much more accessible.

I can't think of anyone I know close to me that would really appreciate this gift, so I'm with another comment on here that gifting it online somehow would be something I'm interested in. I'd feel happy knowing I'm supporting a great product and helping the less fortunate of the younger generation get better access to fun educational tools.

Yeah I was thinking something like this too, hopefully someone makes this if it hasn't been already.

If the diagrams had some linkage to your code you'd be able to see what a failed unit test means in the overall context of the app, what code is used in which block, what protocol is used for connections between blocks, a summary of what each block does etc...

A monitoring tool as you say - and since you'll use it often you'll probably keep it up to date

As a primarily C++ dev who's been using nodejs on the side for about a couple years now - so forgive me if this is naive - but am I wrong in seeing Deno as a potential Electron replacement with standalone binary builds + webview?

If so, the introduction of interactive permission prompts is pretty cool.

I see a few comments from more experienced web developers that are quite negative about Deno that seem to generally be centred around the fact it offers very little compared to nodejs, and isn't worth the effort to learn.

Does it have potential as a safer, lightweight Electron alternative? Or are there better options than Deno in that regard?

I know exactly what you mean, there's only so many times you can append "New" on the end of a contact name!

A good chunk of people will probably communicate mostly on platforms like WhatsApp/Telegram/Discord/whatever that don't need numbers at all or facilitate switching of numbers without your contacts having to do anything. I don't think that will constitute anywhere near the majority of people across the world though, switching numbers will definitely be a pain for most.

Found my number on there too even though I've deleted Facebook for at least 5 or 6 years now -_- Not sure when I gave them my number either, I hope it wasn't scraped from someone else's contact list... At least it makes sense why I received a bunch of spam calls over the weekend.

Anyway it's probably good practice to recycle your number every few years, and not use it for 2FA to make switching numbers a lot easier. Who knows what services I'll be locked out of once I change, let's hope not too many.

It's fascinating reading about giants of academia, that I've personally never thought to link together, interacting and disagreeing with one another in such a relatable way.

I wonder if anyone's written about a younger Dirac and any interactions he got into with his heros, and so on and so forth back as far as possible? I'm sure there's an amazing story to be told through following this "thread of knowledge" through time...
