I recently wrote some thoughts on wrapping Rust libraries for Wasm plus a couple patterns that I use to make wasm-bindgen feel a bit more manageable. No silver bullets here but maybe some sensible defaults (fight me in the comments 😛) notes.brooklynzelenka.com/Blog/Notes-o...

January Edition of the React Vienna Meetup has started 🎉. First up: Daria Lyubaeva talking about server-side tracking in Next.js using Snowplow 🙌

There is a rumor that an attempt to get Poland to change its position is under way. This would give the pro-ChatControl side a majority and make mass scanning of encrypted private messages the law in Europe.

React v19 is now stable! react.dev/blog/2024/12...

First great talk is underway: Drive Your Content with Astro by @hola-soy-milk.online

I gave a talk at Handmade Seattle last year about why I think software gets complicated (spoiler: it's not laziness). www.youtube.com/watch?v=czzA... This is something I've thought about for years and observed up close both in commercial and research contexts, so I hope you enjoy.

Handling timezones in JavaScript apps can feel intimidating, but I recently had to confront it — and had an AHA moment! 🕰️ If you’ve been dodging timezone complexities, this guide is for you: www.nikgraf.com/blog/managin...

@schickling.dev the Livestore landing page should summarise & link this HN comment when pitching Sqlite in the Browser: news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4098... 😄 seriously!

#TIL Dusting your radiators can improve efficiency around 5-10%, potentially saving you hundreds of EUR/USD annually. I cleaned ours today. Don’t let dust burn your budget. Winter is coming 🥶

😂

Recently explained how the Base58 alphabet was designed to avoid reader confusion — a thoughtful trade-off for a slightly larger size. Love the thinking behind it! To make it concise, I wrote a blog post. Check it out: www.nikgraf.com/blog/base58-...

After the long wait, React Navigation 7 is here 😍 📷 Highlights - Static API - Preloading screens - Layout props - useLogger devtools - Searchbar for more navigators - Sidebar and animations in Bottom Tabs - Drawer Layout package And more... Blog post reactnavigation.org/blog/2024/11...

My talk on End-to-end Encryption in Local-first Apps is available 🥳 In the talk I covered four key pillars: - Sync - Key Agreement - Establishing Trust - Identity and for each I explained the why and how with examples and compared local-first frameworks www.youtube.com/live/s2pUguB...

Recording of an Automerge event in which my colleagues shared updates on the big projects we have in progress: radically reducing memory use, a new sync protocol that scales better, and a decentralised end-to-end encryption layer for Automerge. us02web.zoom.us/rec/play/PZP...

A plea to the cryptography community: let's please all agree to use seeds as ML-KEM keys. Seeds are generally preferable to expanded keys because they are smaller and don't require validation. Having one key format is VASTLY preferable to having two.

The local-first conference in Berlin was amazing! Such energy in the community, a diverse set of people bringing their perspectives, and alignment on values. The 200-person venue sold out in a week. So gratifying to see the excitement about local-first and to meet lots of interesting people.

Thought this day will never come. I opened a bug in the Chromium issue tracker 😱😅https://issues.chromium.org/issues/343093076

Just published a new post: "Choosing a Cryptography Library for JavaScript: Noble vs. Libsodium.js" Learn how they stack up against each other in terms of security, performance, ease of use and bundle size. www.nikgraf.com/blog/choosin...

Our newest paper, “Logical Clocks and Monotonicity for Byzantine-Tolerant Replicated Data Types”, is now available under CC-BY: dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/... We formalize @matrix.org and other autonomous decentralized systems based on hash chronicles to verify monotonicity and Byzantine fault tolerance

Just release react-native-libsodium with two new additions: crypto_box_seal and crypto_box_seal_open github.com/serenity-kit...

First time using the AWS JS SDK in a while. The amount of version and ways to do one thing feels like all the Marvel multiverses and Star Trek universes merged into one. Luckily they offer a codemod to fix your code … obviously doesn't work 😅 docs.aws.amazon.com/sdk-for-java...

A very young version of your boy is first on egghead today…
