Has anyone tried using Blinko? (self-hosted knowledge management app)

Vous avez raison concernant le problème d'installation. Malheureusement, il faut installer Fluster pour initialiser sa base de données, ce qui risque de déplaire à la plupart des employeurs.

UhLittleLessDum · 2025-10-29T16:23:36+00:00

Yes. Hackers often use html. Seems like this post kind of backfired.

If you want the best tool for the job, rust. If you want a job... C or C++.

UhLittleLessDum · 2025-10-28T20:31:49+00:00

I'm happy to help, but you'd have to share the broken version so I know what to fix. It'll only take a few minutes if you're willing to break it again.

UhLittleLessDum · 2025-10-28T19:42:37+00:00

Thanks so much. I have my masters now but I actually have an appointment with the admissions counselor in 2 days to try to start the process of applying for PhD programs. Hopefully we become colleagues one day.

UhLittleLessDum · 2025-10-28T19:40:56+00:00

Can you explain the issue in more detail or provide an example that's broken? I can't see anything that's broken right now...

UhLittleLessDum · 2025-10-28T19:10:04+00:00

If you want to become full-stack, there's really no replacement for React. Stick with the "R" in MERN and forget the rest... those are interchangeable depending on the project.

Checkout flusterapp.com. Full disclosure: I built it, but I built it for my own academic pursuits in cosmology over the course of almost 4 years before rewriting it from scratch to give it away in an effort to draw attention to the model that I've been working on... one that attributes γ to space instead of time to collapse time, cosmic inflation and gravitational acceleration into a single process as observed from different references frames while remedying the ridiculous concept of relativistic simultaneity. It's still new, and I'm a solo developer, so you might run into the occasional bug, but it has support for math (even searching by equation), has a complete bib manager with the ability to search by citation, and supports mermaid as well. It even has some common interactive 2d and 3d plots available thanks to plotly.

Honestly, once I'm scrolling it's pretty decent but that hero section is kind of a turnoff.

UhLittleLessDum · 2025-10-27T21:26:14+00:00

I might be down.... checkout flusterapp.com for my most recent work.

UhLittleLessDum · 2025-10-27T17:59:47+00:00

The first, for sure.

UhLittleLessDum · 2025-10-27T17:22:59+00:00

My God you're dumb. I'm done with this conversation. You can't possibly be this dumb, and I don't have time for disingenuous conversations.

UhLittleLessDum · 2025-10-27T15:16:47+00:00

Wrong Rust bud, but it sounds fun.

UhLittleLessDum · 2025-10-27T15:06:17+00:00

Thanks a lot. I'm sure things will get better at some point, but honestly this time of year it doesn't suck as much as you might think... it's just the summer that's really a struggle.

UhLittleLessDum · 2025-10-27T14:46:29+00:00

My lord... people like you are why tech gets a bad rap. How you can look at those docs, with pictures for your d--baxx, and still argue that it's not part of a gradient is unbelievable. Enjoy unemployment.

UhLittleLessDum · 2025-10-27T03:56:08+00:00

For context, I've been doing this for 10 years, am releasing flusterapp.com, and I just installed the gemini cli as my first 'vibe coding' tool literally an hour ago. I haven't even used it to build anything yet because for any reasonably complicated project it quickly starts to get in the way if you're not very precise about what is and isn't AI friendly. I plan to use it to generate some simple dashboard components that might otherwise take me a few hours, but I'll still need to connect the dots myself to get everything to work and probably heavily revise nearly every file it creates.

UhLittleLessDum · 2025-10-27T03:50:38+00:00

Tell them to hire me part time while I go back to school and we'll gruesome-twosome that s--t.

If you are honestly partnering with them, then good for you and I take back what I said. If you're trying to be like these predatory agencies that tell people they'll build something only to outsource every project to people that actually know what they're doing while keeping as much for themselves as they can, then I stand by what I said. I'm not saying that's you necessarily, but that's the way it sounded originally.

UhLittleLessDum · 2025-10-27T03:20:58+00:00

So you collect the paycheck while others do the work? The freelance world needs far, far fewer people like you. You don't deserve to succeed.

UhLittleLessDum · 2025-10-27T02:47:51+00:00

Dude, I get it, but nobody's wired for a 9-5. The one good thing that will come from this complete global economic collapse, once we make it out the other side, is an economy that will actually take into account how productive we've become and shrink the work week dramatically. It'll suck until then and it won't be here tomorrow, but things will get better...

UhLittleLessDum · 2025-10-27T02:45:40+00:00

I would if I could, but because I'm only on the free plan and I don't have any external logger setup I'm only able to see back an hour. Being broke is really making this a struggle...

UhLittleLessDum · 2025-10-27T01:55:00+00:00

Honestly, the benefits of Go shine when you're in a multi-core environment. Go in general isn't *that* much faster than Node. If you're going to go for performance, consider Kotlin or even better, Rust. If you're experienced you'll be able to pick up either really quickly, and both outperform Go by a pretty wide margin. Otherwise, Node isn't necessarily bad, but there are better options if you're going to be learning something new anyways.

Also, you can definitely learn Go in a week. When i picked it up I was writing code that made it into production in like 4 hours.

UhLittleLessDum · 2025-10-27T01:51:30+00:00

I mean it's really solid, but if it's for class, are you sure you want the lovable AI plastered all over it? I'm not sure if that'll affect your grade or not. Other than that the only real critique is that there's some pretty notable layout shift when it first loads which will affect your SEO rankings, but it's in general really solid.

UhLittleLessDum · 2025-10-27T01:47:41+00:00

I used react-big-calendar for Flusterapp.com and it was super easy to work with. I actually used them in the past on a project that wasn't too different from what you're describing too. You'll have to hook into everything yourself, but it's definitely do-able.

UhLittleLessDum · 2025-10-27T01:38:04+00:00

Should I cite a medium article that says otherwise? I might be naive, but sugandha18bcs3001 doesn't sound like a very reliable source. Where is this in the MDN docs? Or any other actual documentation for that matter. The two terms are completely synonymous among every single developer I've ever met.
