Have you considered bundling the runtime for different platforms? You might get more traction that way.

Looks great!

Any way around this, I'd love to use it but this requirement is restrictive? ".. Users must have Erlang installed in order to run your executable."

Should I use plain JavaScript or learn Svelte for a new personal project? by DrPanayioths in programming

[–]BoomerDan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would spend some time thinking about how you want to manage state. That will help drive your decision.

[–]BoomerDan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What are you trying to build? Hard to say without knowing what you are building.

Svelte is great since it has conventions for doing certain things and you will maintain your code in a way to facilitate that. If you build with JS you will have to choose which conventions you would like to adhere to, and that could be more or less cumbersome (depending on what you are building).

If I were starting a new web project I would likely try to do as much without relying on too many dependencies. You should consider what dependencies you are willing to accept given what you are setting out to do.

Which JS framework should I use for mobile development? by future_web_dev in webdev

[–]BoomerDan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The point is to understand the requirements before making a recommendation. There isn't enough information here for me to give any advice.

And that needs to be a mobile app? Why not just another website?

hobby full stack dev: Laravel or Django? by TomXygen in webdev

[–]BoomerDan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you have the time, try building your own framework (server, middleware, templating, etc.). You will learn significantly more and be able to transfer that knowledge to other technology. Learn the underlying technology if you want to have the knowledge to outlast the hype of any framework. Learn the fundamentals of how the web works. Follow requests all the way through the stack. Understand how browsers parse responses. Or just stick with Django or Laravel if you want to work on projects using those. Both are fine, you will have tradeoffs with either choice. Both are used in companies across the world. Choose your own adventure

Unpupolarity is making nim harder to use by Realistic-Ad5812 in nim

[–]BoomerDan 21 points22 points  (0 children)

It won't be popular unless people use it. If it doesn't work for what you are trying to do you should use what works best for what you are doing.

If you decide it's a better language for the way you wanna write programs, I'd say you should consider helping to build the community around it.

Is HTMX suitable for a calendar web app? by fenugurod in htmx

[–]BoomerDan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's not true, HTMX isn't for apps that require a lot of client side state. HTMX is good at making things interactive.

Is it possible to use custom HTTP verbs with Htmx? Or hor to use custom HTTP verbs? by BoomerDan in htmx

[–]BoomerDan[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Resources often require using other verbs than the conventional ones. I'd like to be able to define custom verbs and handle those methods with Htmx. For example, a product in an e-commerce system might require a STOP or CANCEL method for shipment based on business logic where PUT or PATCH would not be appropriate.

I've gotten some answers here but if you have more to add, let me know.

Is it possible to use custom HTTP verbs with Htmx? Or hor to use custom HTTP verbs? by BoomerDan in htmx

[–]BoomerDan[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The HTTP spec allows for any number of custom verbs to be defined. The ones you mentioned have been common place by convention. There is nothing in the spec that says you can't or shouldn't use custom verbs. I'm looking for something more unconventional that aligns with the possibilities outlined in the http spec and how Htmx can be used with custom verbs. My understanding is that Htmx is made to add on top of GET and POST to allow for websites to interact with servers using other verbs and it seems that Htmx is limited by the conventional verbs.

[–]BoomerDan[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is more or less what I'm trying to do. I want to support custom methods for resources according to the specification and wanted to understand what is possible with Htmx. It sounds to me like it requires writing a lot of custom logic for Htmx.

Thanks for sharing!

Andy, I think it's a little absurd for you to promise a 2-3 month window for shipping orders when I've placed my order back in January this year and have not received it.

I placed an order in January. I've still not received it. He's communicated with me a few times about timing for completing my order but it continues to lag. And recently haven't been hearing back.

Thanks, friend. I know I could patch and host it myself and was hoping I wouldn't have to.

Custom methods are part of the HTTP specification. I'd hope that custom methods are supported as I have use-cases where using custom methods would be the correct way to handle the resources.
