A tiny typo above: "Stinnet" should be "Stinnett". (It's a common typo, my name has too many repeated letters... 😅)

🎥 A productive editor for any typed property graphs via molikto

🧵 conversation

a small (silent) demo of my project. it aims to be a productive editor for any typed property graphs, it do this by expanding the graph as a spanning tree, so it appears like an outliner. I am currently using it to keep my notes and references, but the idea is it should be extended to cover other needs. The key is it aims to be an editor of the ultimate data structure: property graph.

🎥 Live-coding Fizz Buzz via Kartik Agaram

🧵 conversation

I recently added the ability to edit functions in my prototyping environment. It's inspired by Tiddlywiki, with the screen at any moment containing the most recently edited functions. Here's a short live-coding session of everyone's favorite programming problem -- with a small twist.

More thoughts on Hest, carrying on from Ivan Reese's Tweet

I had some thoughts on synchronization of data, which I realize is an aspect of Hest's design space that's not fully explored, so grain of salt and all that 🙂

Mostly I want to draw a parallel to chip design (VHDL/Verilog), which if you squint a bit is a lot like Hest but with much, much worse UX. You run into the same synchronization problems there, and the solution is actually really close to both the "sync" primitive and the "Fibers" you describe in your podcast – you put latches/registers between components of your design.

💬 Maxime Beauchemin: Interesting question that's top of mind right now, curious what people via Srini Kadamati

🧵 conversation

“So. Business intelligence tools are arguably the “original” and most advanced form of no-code / low-code application. Clearly an interactive dashboard built in your favorite BI tool is a fairly complex no-code, specialized data app. Now here’s the question: why has low-code been so prevalent in data visualization historically while being not popular in other areas of software development? What is it that makes low-code more suited to dataviz?”

I found this interesting 🤔 bit today

🐦 Jon Purdy: Been thinking about what this might look like.

I think my basic tenet is that an application not be a singular thing, but an emergent entity made of interacting components, and that the system prioritise replaceability, both of components, and of the HW/SW/network substrate.

🐦 Jon Purdy: @mycoliza I’d like to see a world with a more meaningful form of user freedom than mere access to source code. If you can’t actually do anything with code, what good is it to you as a user? I don’t want “free software” or “open source”, I want accessible computing.

Web Applications from the Future: A Database in the Browser

I’m working on several local-first concepts and figured it would be of interest here!

🐦 Tweet from @shauninman via Florian Schulz

🧵 conversation

Love the design of this game editor for Playdate. It features distinct views for different aspects of game design / development.

🐦 Shaun Inman: In addition to the games I worked on I’m also looking forward to seeing what everyone creates with Pulp. Draw sprites, layout rooms, pixel fonts, chip tunes, and script...well, PulpScript. All in the browser. Then play on your @playdate. 🌟📙

An esoteric visual language that takes image files as input based on a multi-tape turing machine, designed for compatibility with C.

🧵 conversation

Unison: "The v2 codebase format is a sqlite3 database"

🧵 conversation

Unison has added some interesting things in their latest release. They're storing the codebase in sqlite, with some objects stored relationally and they have overlaid a neat web based code browser.

my god what an amazing time to be working on data tooling. Seeing interesting prototypes every day

🐦 Tweet from @brantlymillegan via Andreas S

🧵 conversation

Also a funny thing to ponder:

🐦 brantly.eth: I say:

Down with a mess of accounts with weak user-generated passwords and sandboxed usernames owned by big corps (web2)

Up with secure private keys and portable usernames owned by users (web3)

It's the Internet as it always should have been

📝 Understanding the meaning we make of the code we write can help create more nuanced and ethical software via Shubhadeep Roychowdhury

Code 'meaning-making' helps creating more nuanced software
