• Pegasus Mail Newsflashes

  I’ve gone through this process for my email client Kanmail [1]. The third party audit is not required for email clients that run on end users computers and store credentials locally. By the looks of it Pegasus falls into this category and should not have any issues getting approved (still need the YT video and such but the Google team are surprisingly responsive and helpful in my experience). [1]... - Source: Hacker News / about 2 years ago

• Ask HN: Anyone making a living building desktop applications?

  I’m building a desktop email client [0] that has $45 lifetime licenses. Made to scratch my own itch I’ve been using it as my only client for 4 years now, barely makes any money though! [0] https://kanmail.io. - Source: Hacker News / over 2 years ago

• Compile Python applications into stand-alone executables

  I use pyinstaller for my Kanmail email client [1] and it’s fantastic, but at creating Mac app bundles or Windows exes. Tried making actual standalone binaries for another project and, as others have mentioned, they’re incredibly slow to startup. Still, I am a huge fan of the project and it makes it possible to make webview desktop “apps” (like or hate them) with Python. [1] https://kanmail.io. - Source: Hacker News / over 2 years ago

• How do you create a cross-platform GUI without using Electron?

  There's pywebview (https://github.com/r0x0r/pywebview/) which is a Python lib that uses whatever native webview implementation exists. Obviously means some compatibility work between each OS, but gives out very small apps what work very well on the whole. I'm using it on my cross platform email client (https://kanmail.io). - Source: Hacker News / almost 3 years ago

• Books to Dive in into Fullstack Development

  Books are ok but I think it's better to learn with websites that use live coding examples and exercises. https://www.freecodecamp.org/ is good, the Responsive Web Design and JavaScript courses are a good place to start, there's a great community of learners and tutors to help. The MDN developer resources is a useful site to keep open while you learn. https://developer.mozilla.org Now pick a framework to start... - Source: Hacker News / 6 days ago

• Understanding React Compiler

  One radical lightweight alternative to React is Svelte https://svelte.dev/ which is completely dependent on a compiler since it bakes in all of the updating logic at that stage. I haven't done big projects with it but for little projects I have been amazed at the speed and the small size of the bundles. - Source: Hacker News / 8 days ago

• Frontend frameworks: Next/Nuxt/Gatsby: Mastering one or knowing all

  Svelte is unique in that it shifts much of the work from the browser to the build process, resulting in highly optimized and performant apps. It offers a simple syntax and minimal boilerplate, making it ideal for projects prioritizing speed and efficiency. - Source: dev.to / 10 days ago

• Svelte vs Angular: Which Framework Suits Your Project?

  Svelte is a JavaScript framework that can be used to build a full-scale application or small bits of other applications. The core principle of Svelte is based on running the code at compile time; this is different from frameworks like React and Vue, which perform most of the operations in the browser while the app is running without a virtual DOM. This makes developing Svelte applications faster, bundles smaller,... - Source: dev.to / 15 days ago

• How React 19 Almost Made the Internet Slower

  Shutout for Svelte. It took the best of VUE and react. It's fast and very lightweight when compared to Vue, which has a largish ecosystem. https://svelte.dev/. - Source: Hacker News / 19 days ago
