it seems like they've also solved the inline metadata dependencies syncing in scripts finally. so if you declare script dependencies you'll no longer see module not found errors from that

Quoting from the Permutation City by Greg Egan:

"Opponents replied that when you modeled a hurricane, nobody got wet. When you modeled a fusion power plant, no energy was produced. When you modeled digestion and metabolism, no nutrients were consumed – no real digestion took place. So, when you modeled the human brain, why should you expect real thought to occur?"

hoping for this to get mainstream so that I can just view the pages without any ads, js and bloat

the ultimate coincidence of life, the universe, and everything

everything in life is a metaphor, analogous to something else...

Your last sentence seems just the same to me. I believe that saying something can't be cracked in under millions of years is analogous to saying that no advancements will be made in those years.

It's funny just thinking about it. Because if you are not depending on a third-party, then you are depending on yourself only. Which means that once you encrypt something hoping that you won't be able to decrypt for some amount of time, you accept that changing of the time has something to do with the decryption of your encrypted message. Since you can certainly know how much of time should be pass, you can't keep secrets from yourself right?

So, in a sense, in my opinion, if you want to encrypt a message and send it to someone and make it timelocked without a third-party, you might as well just keep the message secret until the desired amount of time has passed and just give it to him.

If being crackable during the time period is a concern, why not just use OTP (one-time pad, not his evil twin) and create XORed multiple keys to be shared with peers, and then use all of the distributed keys to reveal the message after some time had passed?

I know this is not efficient by any means but being able to instantly make things publicly available from your phone is a cool trick. Just wanted to show how it's done and I'm curious about what could be built on top of this

Happy to hear your thoughts on this.
