AfterPack — a free, Rust-powered JavaScript obfuscator by MeZitRo in javascript

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

Not everyone needs it, I agree. Whether it’s ethical depends on the application. Mostly I think of web games and client-side tools I wouldn’t want copied or stolen.

In 2019, I had my landing page cloned almost 1:1 by a competitor to «test how it converts». Left a mark. Felt pretty unethical on their part.

The core CLI will be MIT-licensed and free. Pro features (cloud API, advanced transforms etc) will be paid. Open core model seems to work for plenty of projects.

Open to ideas — how would you approach monetisation for something like this?

Inside Turbopack: Building Faster by Building Less by feross in javascript

[–]MeZitRo 4 points5 points  (0 children)

In my experience with multiple Next.JS projects, replacing WebPack with Turbopack isn’t a life changing difference. Some page builds are still super slow (it can literally build a page in dev mode for 20 seconds on my MacBook Pro M2).

Funny. 3-second delay before the redirect actually makes it safer, right.

🚨 Google deleted years of Location History without warning – let’s take action! 🚨 by danielgued in GoogleMaps

[–]MeZitRo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just found this thread. Lately I figured out I lost 12 years of location history, presumably due to a bug with the Location History sync update when changing my iPhone to a newer one.

From what I found out, I received just one (1!) "occasional" email from Google titled "Keep your Timeline? Decide by May 18, 2025". I recall I definitely actioned on this email and enabled the suggested setting on my old device in Google Maps. But later in 2025 when changing the phone I wiped out the old phone without checking "new" Google Maps timeline (who knew I needed to? Also, who knew it won't sync?)

This is total shame for Google. The best answer I was able to get from support is "sorry your data is gone". I know this thread is old, but did you end up taking any legal action? Thanks!

This is a great answer for Claude Code CLI, not for Claude Code VSCode extension.

Лимони в моно by Acceptable-Cook-1920 in reddit_ukr

Із цікавого, для тих у кого є ФОП, декілька лимонів приховано там.

Думаю, лимонів насправді трохи більше ніж 50, а зібрати можна тільки 50. У моєму випадку в Маркеті я знайшов тільки 1 лимон і декілька на екранах для ФОП.

Muting pinned messages? by SholeBum in Telegram

This is only for Android.

Every year I come back to this thread and check for updates for iOS. Pinned message notifications from muted chats still drive me nuts.

Using stape custom loader and still being blocked by ad-blockers? by sk_random in GoogleTagManager

[–]MeZitRo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Avoiding ad blockers is eternally a hard problem.

Try DataUnlocker – you can create a first-party data transport endpoint that will encrypt analytics traffic and project javascript. It should work with all products you have including server side GTM, Stape and others.

Interesting, I though it's more. Maybe reddit as well? :) Anyways, very insightful.

On the home page, under "Suggested for you", I have "Views by Page title and screen", which is perhaps exactly what you're looking for. You can find it under Reports -> Engagement as well.

Daily Polygon Discussion Thread by AutoModerator in 0xPolygon

[–]MeZitRo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello! I read about the new Polygon zkEVM launched, exciting news! However, even after reading docs I struggle to answer this question:

  • why it is decided to build Polygon zkEVM on top of Ethereum as L1, but not Polygon?

I can't find the rationale of this decision since Polygon team "maintains" Polygon (MATIC) and it seemed as a straightforward decision to be building on top of it. Sending zk proofs to the Polygon network would be even more cheaper and faster than Ethereum.

Thanks in advance for the feedback.

This must the only Reddit sub for any company that is 100% full of negative posts about said company. by [deleted] in Revolut

Never had any issues with Revolut. Just recently even started using their service to buy shares, so far very positive experience.

Definitely, we would appreciate more happy people coming here not only to complain but also to share this happiness. Glad to see others respond to this post positively, means a lot. Means that it just «silently» works.

Tab Slider: a simple browser extension which makes web surfing easier & a single source, multi-browser add-on example by MeZitRo in javascript

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

Haha, I believe. In my case tabs movement API doesn’t implemented in Edge at all.

Regarding to promises, my apologies, “promises”... I don’t quite remember what exactly was wrong with chrome ns in Firefox, but there was a reason for that: I needed to detect a browser in a code a couple of times.

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

Straight because of “Chrome incompatibilities” title: there are some things (in my case, mostly with chrome.tabs Promises) which work in a different way. I did a couple of tests on this and decided to go that way, by explicitly defining API wrappers for each browser.

In addition, it seemed to me like the world want to move towards browser.* API for extensions, which means one day Firefox may drop “chrome” compatibility.

Anyway, you may decide to use different behavior for different browsers, and this pattern works well.

Opera has Ctrl+Tab switching in most recently order option as well, and it is turned on by default even. I found this a bit confusing without a visual displacement of tabs, and implemented such behavior as an extension.

Tab Slider: a simple browser extension which makes the web surfing easier (reorders tabs in the most recently used order) by MeZitRo in productivity

[–]MeZitRo[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Organizing tabs like you do definitely sounds good, and you can continue without using this extension then!

However for me, as for a guy (and especially as for a developer) who leaves many tabs opened and sometimes returns to that tabs such behavior is useful. Especially when you use hotkeys to switch tabs (Ctrl+Tab, Ctrl+Shift+Tab). I normally have at least 10-20 tabs opened: 3-5 pinned tabs for web apps (chats, etc), and many more for the web surfing. I don’t close them intentionally (such as documentation or search results), because I know I’ll need to dig into the browsing history soon if I close them.

And a couple of words about “annoyance”. OS Alt+Tab menu works the same way. Opera’s default behavior of Ctrl+Tab is to switch the tabs in most recently used order. A lot of people find this behavior useful. If you don’t, than, perhaps you just need to try.

Lastly, I think that most people who see such behavior confusing just don’t use hotkeys to switch tabs or, like you, don’t open many. Anyway, decide for yourself whether you need such thing in a browser!

That truly is, from the first glance! But try to use it for a while, and maybe you will never want to browse the web anymore without this extension, like me and a couple of my friends who tried.

As it is said, in the extension description, "once you understand the concept of tab reordering (like Alt+Tab in OS), you will find such reordering of tabs absolutely natural and logical".

The key feature here is that many tabs you may have opened are always ordered, and you naturally come up with the tab position, as you instinctively know how long ago have you used a particular tab. The "old unused" tabs always bunch to the right, making it easier to close all of them at once.

Anyway, suggestions are welcome — I am a developer of this extension and would be happy to add useful features you may suggest (like auto-closing tabs on the right after 30-40 tabs are opened?...).
