  • the future of complex web apps*

    I can see in-browser games and containerized desktop application benefiting from wasm, but simple ecommerce sites without all the fluff can be just as performant with SSR or a multi-page application. For instance several years ago I built the frontend and middleware for the Hart Tools and Ryobi Tools websites using Nuxt for SSR and Algolia for the search. Images are the majority of CPU and network load and the websites are snappy as a result. Even this tech stack is overkill for what the websites need to do but my point is for general use case this or a similar tech stack won’t benefit from introducing wasm.










  • The 1.0 is in beta. There has been a lot of refactoring to get it to this point. I would say there’s still many quality-of-life features missing that would stop me from using it in a professional setting but for hobby projects it’s meeting my needs (and gets better with each new beta build). They only have a few project backers but the main developer has been working very steadily on it.


  • This is actually why I prefer using pijul. I don’t want to commit my secrets to a git repo and nix will refuse to build because I’m pulling in files that aren’t tracked. Simple solution is to not make the flake directory a git repo and it won’t complain. That’s my solution at least. I also prefer using git (and therefore pijul) via cli rather than as a text editor integration so my experience differs.
