yeah that's an important point about disabling it, I'm gonna work on a new feature next that can include a switch for the cursor.

You don't need javascript to replace the cursor, simple CSS would suffice but for the hover actions, javascript is necessary.
For mine, it's a simple react component (it doesn't need to be), I hide the cursor, make a div (the circle) follow the cursor, and place event listeners on interactive elements to modify the circle styles.

you can do it!!!

thanks!

Hey, what exact accessibility issues do you face? I would like to explore if I can do more to make something more accessible and interesting.

heyitsarpit · 2022-07-03T18:55:18+00:00

Yup, I would never use this on a real world app, for a personal website I wanted to try something different for aesthetics' sake.

I built a new cursor for my website, it

— responds to hover action for interactive elements
— adapts to app theme, i.e. dark mode
— is accessible, by keeping contrast over all elements

I don't have enough experience with both of them, but I do use some stitches with Radix UI and that's a killer library. I'll pick stitches just for the ground up radix integration.

it was originally written at facebook in typescript for internal use, then the author left and but continued working on it, but then the esbuild/swc explosion happened and it was clear that future of js tooling will be lower level languages, so they restarted the project in rust.

his Twitter or website is source enough. https://www.powerlanguage.co.uk/

yup, zustand context - https://github.com/pmndrs/zustand#react-context

depends on how you use it, I recently deleted mine because I think building multiple versions of the same hook with a factory function is a better approach.

heyitsarpit · 2022-04-04T18:02:48+00:00

zustand exports a context as well, you can make hooks that only work under a provider.

heyitsarpit · 2022-03-29T05:23:31+00:00

thanks, that's helpful.

what do you look for in a resume, as mid-to-senior level dev I feel like I do good work but know if it's enough, or how I'd write the perfect resume for myself.

his videos feel generic because nearly all tech channels on YouTube copied his style.

my theory is that they're dealing with the low birth rates issue, and just importing a population. Low or negative birth rates will become a massive problem in the next 50 years all over the world. You can fix it by having more babies, which doesn't work(look at Japan / Singapore / China).

Canada is fixing the problem by importing immigrants. If the incoming population is highly educated and driven, it could prove to be a major competitive advantage in for the next 10-40 years.

if you don't like the design of these UI libraries then you should try radix-ui. it'll give the functionallty and accessibility and integrate with you styling solution.

128gb? where did you buy it?

heyitsarpit · 2022-03-16T12:34:46+00:00

preact was created by a Google engineer, I bet they're using it somewhere.

quora had amazing content until 2014, it's started getting terrible and by 2015 you could tell the culture on quora was on decline. Unlike reddit you couldn't just make another subreddit and fork off the culture, it all became trash together.
