I might be cooking something for #norg yet again because why not? It's also my perfect excuse to give the Elixir-Rust interoperability with the rustler library a try. Development can be slow until I'm on vacation, but I'm overall happy with the current progress (just the front page for now lmao)

Small update: Luanox v0.2 has been released (2 weeks ago). Since we didn't announce it anywhere, I think it's still worth it mentioning. This release contains lots of bug fixes, a few features to improve the overall UI/UX and a small security patch. There's more to come! github.com/lumen-oss/lu...

I think it's about time I posted something again. In October I got a permanent job again; the process was very quick and straightforward. Life has been rather busy since then, but things are going well and I'm slowly getting back to my open-source projects so expect a few updates this month! (1/3)

I decided to dualboot my old Intel MacBook using NixOS. The performance difference is huge, and the processor no longer overheats! It was very satisfying to see how everything worked almost OOTB and with almost no tweaking compared to other distros and I reused nearly all of my desktop Nix flake :)

Designing for mobile-first in frontend development is fun... Until you come across mobile devices that for some reason have a viewport width less than 365 pixels. In some cases, they completely break CSS and you have to deal with edge cases. Why don't companies make phones with a viewport standard?

Give the luanox site a quick test run over on our beta: luanox-beta.neorg.org 🚀 🚀

Some Koa updates: There's already a runtime built for the Janet core. The best thing about it? It's bootstrapped directly in the Koa binary and stored in the `~/.local/share` of the user running the editor by default. Want to edit the entire runtime? Go ahead, Koa won't complain about it! :) (1/2)

I've been making an experimental TUI code editor with Zig and Janet as the scripting language. The idea of the editor is simple, Zig serves as the core for UI and bootstrapping for Janet, and everything else happens in the scripting side. It promises an interesting new approach to code editors (1/3)

Amidst all the projects I'm working on I decided to dedicate some time to Luanox - a more modern alternative to luarocks.org We've had quite a few run-ins with the site misbehaving (as well as being slow) and so we're working on a sister site that will work in tandem with the main luarocks site :)

I have finally started my formal migration to Codeberg after around 3 years of having an account there and not using it. I must admit, the process to get access to their CI/CD system with Woodpecker has been easy and fast. I am very grateful to the maintainers for their responsiveness :)

I took the 4 Anti-Pattern pages on hexdocs.pm (code, design, process, meta-programming) and smashed them into 1 markdown file so I can feed it to Claude for an #ElixirLang code review. 20k tokens, feel free to download a copy. Yes I know credo/styler exist.

#neovim Development News The 0.12 version will start to use Zig language to build Neovim itself. This should improve overall Neovim development and should not have visible effect on users. Thanks, @bfredl.bsky.social! PRs (so far): - github.com/neovim/neovi... - github.com/neovim/neovi...

After approximately a month of development, I'm really happy to announce version 0.2 of Norgolith, now more usable than ever! It's now in a state where you can make any static pages in a very intuitive and complete way. The documentation site was made using it BTW. ntbbloodbath.github.io/norgolith

#neovim Development News The 0.11 version will have more built-in `vim.fs` file system functions (handy for plugin authors): `abspath`, `relpath`, `rm`. PRs: - github.com/neovim/neovi... - github.com/neovim/neovi... - github.com/neovim/neovi...

Why do people who not use linux have this idea that linux has not moved in progress past like 2010 aka no apps on linux and it's not usable without 10years of config and tweaking

Implementing themes in Norgolith took no more than a day, including interactivity and rollbacks. The implementation is somewhat simple, but it also forces the use of semantic versions and Git tags/releases so I hope that helps people maintain a good release cycle of Norgolith themes lol

I forgot to post it before woops, Norgolith already has stable releases! Please check it out if you use norg, feedback would be great. :) github.com/NTBBloodbath... #neovim #neorg

Just released my new #neovim plugin, sense.nvim! a small UI plugin built with relative line motions in mind. It shows diagnostics outside of current view and indicate the distance to them. So you can easily jump to there with relative line motions like 88k or 162j. github.com/boltlessengi...

After a long hiatus, my project github.com/NTBBloodbath... is almost completely ready for an mvp release, it's been a lot of fun working on the project and I'm very grateful for those who have been testing it during all these days. Moving away from markdown for blog posts will definitely be great :p

How good it feels to resume a personal open-source project after several months and see that in just 4 days my commits accumulates more than 3k lines of code changed and abysmal progress. It's definitely good to take breaks sometimes, take different perspectives and learn more before returning to it

One of the limitations of the current format is the lack of a README file field. Fortunately I have found workarounds to scrape READMEs based on Git repositories in the homepage field to render them in Luanox and the license field redirects to opensource.org/license/MIT for example which comes handy

Working around rockspecs for Lua libraries feels like working with an old format sometimes. I hope the proposals I made on GitHub take good feedback and become a reality this year if possible, there is a lot of potential that can be exploited. github.com/luarocks/lua...

For those who don't know what Luanox is, it's a modern Lua module host that's intended to be a faster and more secure alternative to luarocks.org, and we plan to include it as a first-class citizen in rocks (github.com/nvim-neorocks/rocks) to highly improve performance when pulling Lua dependencies.

I'm happy to finally say that after a couple of months and constant stack changes, there is real progress in the development of Luanox. We are more than happy with our current SKPP stack (SvelteKit, Phoenix, PostgreSQL). I hope to have an MVP ready by the first quarter of 2025 and make it public :)
