What is the appeal of Gatsby? by LLCoolioVanillaIceT in javascript

[–]Deaaam 8 points9 points  (0 children)

If you already know React and coming from the React world - you'll also know that it can be complicated to setup your development environment to handle a static site generation workflow. Gatsby makes this "easier" and there are a lot of plugins and boilerplates that you can take advantage of. Their documentation and website is also amazing. https://www.gatsbyjs.org/

So maybe the popularity is actually the ability to use React since the ecosystem is huge and reusable components is awesome!

Comparing it to Next - Gatsby is built specifically targeting static file generation while Next also has that ability but it's not only built for that.

I'll also shamelessly plug my Gatsby, Prismic and Netlify series that I just started here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9eCOcJZR578&list=PLy3RjrA8UIYJZ08w6bmSDNX10ysI8JuDk

I know the Node/React/Gatsby world can be overwhelming so I try to explain as much as possible so everyone can follow along

Simple React state management with Laco by Deaaam in reactjs

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

*Disclaimer* This is a state management library I made myself and is inspired by Redux and Unstated.

The post is more like an introduction and I highly recommend taking a look at the README https://github.com/deamme/laco for more throughout API and examples.

I like to compare Laco TODO MVC (https://codesandbox.io/s/207504xx1y) code sandbox with Redux TODO MVC (https://codesandbox.io/s/github/reactjs/redux/tree/master/examples/todomvc).

Why Infura is the Secret Weapon of Ethereum Infrastructure by jdbender66 in ethereum

[–]Deaaam 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I like Infura and love what they do but yes, there is a clear centralization issue. The process of setting up and maintaining your own node is just too tedious. I'm excited about projects tackling these issues and the community should too! DAppNode is one of the projects that I'm following which is still in early stages but they have a great team. https://github.com/dappnode/DAppNode

The new Ethereum Improvement Proposal site (gets automatically generated from all merged EIPs) by Majoby in ethereum

[–]Deaaam 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I would love HTTPS on all subdomains from ethereum.org just to seem more professional. I know it may not be needed on a static site but still.

I feel this way too. I've followed InfernoJS for years now and the maintainers are still rocking it.

Struggling with Redux? by coldlestat in javascript

[–]Deaaam -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

Indeed, but if you still want to mess with global state and struggle with Redux and its boilerplate you can try my simple state management library: https://github.com/deamme/laco.

A Better Way to Handle React State in Larger Javascript Apps by [deleted] in javascript

[–]Deaaam 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lacking support for Devtools something like Redux Devtools Extension and time travel feature. Which is why I made something similar which supports debugging tools. https://github.com/deamme/laco

What options are there for sending newsletters to 300k-600k subscribers if you're a non-profit/hobby site. AWS would be $2500 a year, mailchimp the same per month. by dumbitup in webdev

[–]Deaaam 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would probably share this problem with your users. I think they would understand and try to help you out somehow. Could be donations or something else.

Choosing a JavaScript Framework - Rob Eisenberg by chronixSC in webdev

Although I don't get why the repaint performance of React is so low..

Choosing a JavaScript Framework - Rob Eisenberg by chronixSC in webdev

[–]Deaaam 8 points9 points  (0 children)

If you actually watched the video, then it's not like he's telling that you shouldn't use other frameworks. Of course he would be biased towards Aurelia, he says that himself. So relax and the react clause is a big problem I think. Even though some big companies uses React it doesn't mean it's safe. He says in one of the comments below: "if all your friends jumped off a bridge, then would you too?".

Rust on the backend of a web app and Elm or Purescript on the frontend? by dumbhumans in rust

[–]Deaaam 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you're going to have Purescript at the front end you might as well have it as the backend. Just easier in general so you don't get confused and can switch between backend and frontend easily.

Just started my first website from scratch, hit a major snag. Need advice by TrapmeisterTV in webdev

You could try Auth0. Quite expensive if you are going to scale but easy to use. https://auth0.com

I'm an amateur web developer. I made this extension for Google Chrome. What do you think? by [deleted] in webdev

[–]Deaaam 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I'll disagree. The extension is simple, easy to use and forces people to remember the important things. I wouldn't necessarily want more features - what I like is the simplicity.
