  • I was chatting with a friend, and she mentioned how she tries to at least set up a README, which includes her vision for the project and her plan for the implementation, design, and goals.

    Best case scenario is that the planning helps her complete the project herself. Worst case scenario, someone else can pick up where she left off and use her considerations for the project.

    I’m thinking of doing that for future projects too





  • I don’t have as much experience working with the stack, but from what I’ve read it seems like Rust is a pretty solid choice for the backend. It also seems like a lot of the upgrades people want are for the front end, so that’s what would benefit the most from being simpler.

    Typescript makes sense, and a handful of frameworks have typescript support. Would anyone know more about the benefits of using Inferno over something like Vue/Nuxt or plain React?























  • This is something that is probably better if implemented in Lemmy itself. It would be tied to a particular community, and it wouldn’t need to cross over between instances.

    If someone tried to make a browser extension for it, it would only appear for people using the same browser extension. Some third party apps have it like that, and it’s not that helpful.

    What’s better for a browser extension / app to take on is cross-instance functionality, such as jumping between instances, having buttons / content in the UI, etc. I’m working on an extension for that ( !instance_assistant@lemmy.ca ), and while I really want flairs as well, I don’t think it would be good for a browser extension.

    Once it’s implemented in Lemmy itself, then we could probably make it easier to add/remove/view/filter flairs using a browser extension.









  • The basic features should work with Lemmy and Kbin, but some of the new ones are unique to Lemmy for now, such as the error page replacement. I’ve found Kbin a little harder to work with because while it’s more flexible, it’s harder to make sure I’m avoiding unintended actions.

    I don’t think there are any limitations with behaw, at least with the current features.

    I tested with mobile Firefox on an older version and it did work. However since you have to jump through hoops to install the extension in the first place, I haven’t looked into it much more. If you try to install it from the store on mobile, it should say that it isn’t compatible. :)
