The first two points are foundational design principles for Decker[1], a programming environment which can be used as a local application or as a single-file self-contained web page which still retains all the development tools. The same is true for TiddlyWiki[2]. The web ecosystem already provides the substrate necessary to realize these visions, it's a matter of building things with a particular perspective in... - Source: Hacker News / 20 days ago

A pen-tablet with a transflective display and a commodity OS is very compelling. I've been working for a few years on a "multimedia sketchpad"[0] application with a primarily grayscale UI that screams for a device like this. I imagine the browser port might already work acceptably, but perhaps I'll revisit a native Android port with the Daylight in mind...

As a young child with only the scarcest grasp of programming, I spent endless hours using ResEdit to crack open and customize every application on my mac. Every game and utility was filled with its own surprises; graphics I could edit, tables of strings to pore over, dialogs to rearrange, menus to customize, and so much more. I never had a manual, but everything was so straightforward and clear I learned... - Source: Hacker News / 6 months ago

If you want something like Shoes, perhaps try PySimpleGUI or Redlang's "view" dialect. If you want a drag-and-drop visual builder like HyperCard, you might like Decker: https://beyondloom.com/decker/. - Source: Hacker News / 7 months ago

> Does elixir have an lsp as good as Typescripts? I’m a bit addicted to static types at the moment. I wonder how IHP [1], the liveview in Haskell, compares with Phoenix liveview for typical use cases now. (Not having used either.)

I found IHP straightforward: https://ihp.digitallyinduced.com/ despite not remembering much haskell! This assumes you can get past nix for the install. I find IHP well-designed. I just wish the licensing scheme were more transparent. - Source: Hacker News / 9 months ago

IHP is a batteries-included web framework similar to "ruby on rails" for Haskell, with strong static typing. The website has lots of information and videos and beginner tutorials. https://ihp.digitallyinduced.com/. - Source: Hacker News / 9 months ago
