Peer review rankings are out! some.3b1b.co

SoME peer review is now officially closed with 5459 votes! The score distribution over the 464 entries looking like a skewed Gaussian shows the bar was pretty high! Now the hard part... waiting for those winner announcements in the coming weeks. Stay tuned!

With functorial reactivity the primitives let you build a faithful communication between your templates and the DOM: - data and operations are transported to the DOM - hits the highest level of granularity - works nicely with view transitions 🤝 What do you think?

SoME4 peer review is open! Skimming over the entries list, I'm really impressed by the quality and work everyone put in their entries. We've got some gems in there. Time to review, vote and spread the word! some.3b1b.co

SoME submissions are officially closed, with 470 entries this year. Good job everyone! That spike at the end is chef's kiss, nothing says "we work best under pressure" quite like this collective data

Summer of Math exposition: peer review starts in 2 weeks!

What if Signals were not the right primitive? Here are some of my observations: 1. They are reassignment-first, whereas we never reassign the DOM, which is mutation-first. So we can't transfer the semantics seamlessly (functorially)

TL;DR of the last 5+ years in web dev: modern #frontend development consists in building a functor from Templates to DOM that: 1. preserves the composition of structures 2. transports operations too (updates...) Signals are just our current implementation of point 2. That's it! Beautiful right?

#CSS challenge: an expandable youtube-like description section with the following constraints: - collapsed: clampled if needed to at most 3 lines of text - expanded: smoothly transitions to its intrinsic size @kevinpowell.co?

Lost in the maze of web platform proposals? @justinfagnani.com made a chart mapping the big picture, in particular around declarative custom elements and #webcomponents. I've turned it into an interactive roadmap for y'all. Credit to Justin fcrozatier.github.io/wwpp/

Ricciuti-based development @paolo.ricciuti.me

My build pipeline: 1. Strip types 2. That's it How cool is that? Native ES modules + TypeScript = ❤️

Need a simple, lightweight, spec-compliant #html parser? I've just released a new version of HTMLCrunch Supports: - end tag omission - cdata sections - foreign elements ...and much more! jsr.io/@fcrozatier/...

Why are there so few (3-ish) rendering approaches? Why do they all feel similar? Rewatched @ryansolid.bsky.social's excellent video, which got me thinking about the structures at play. Read on for a few insights, and what functoriality has to do with it 🧵

Beautiful video on Effect by @mattpocock.com To be honest, I've stayed away from this disgusting syntax for years. But now I'm feeling ready to give Effect a try. Thanks for the motivation boost! www.youtube.com/watch?v=S2GC...

Damn, just realized a deep flaw in the Radish web framework. The mental model is rooted but the templating around web components is half-baked. Working on new approach that'll grow much stronger. 💪🪴

Having a blast exploring the new #HTML custom <select> while adding visual flair to the SoME site! I love it: a #nojs solution with graceful degradation and built-in accessibility. The future is HTML-first: commands, invokers, customizable built-ins etc. Less JavaScript, more web platform!

The increasing AI focus in #Svelte posts has me worried. I hope the core mission of caring for the web remains the priority. If Svelte become a vibe-coding tool for people who just want quick results, I'll know it's time to move on. @svelte.dev

Check out Radishland's gorgeous new banner! Fun fact: Radishes are perfect for beginner gardeners and grow in almost any conditions. Just like how Radish makes #webdev accessible for everyone!

Just discovered a 2024 research paper on Scoped Effects and had that wild moment of "...wait, that's very similar to my implementation" Sometimes the best validation comes from finding your ideas in academic literature. I guess that's what happens when you dig deep into the mathematical roots.

Speaking at #Svelte Paris this Wednesday about a fresh mental model for fullstack apps. Would love to see you there! www.meetup.com/svelte-paris...

Summer of Math Exposition: Submissions are now open! 🚀🚀

"Incredibly powerful features that we didn't even know we could have in the browser, have not only landed, but have also gained cross-browser compatibility, at a faster pace that they ever have before." @una.im This truly is the Golden Age of Web UI www.youtube.com/watch?v=VTCI...

Coining a cool new dev concept: Right Abstraction Design Stop over-engineering. Stop under-engineering. Just be RAD. #DevLife

Big #SoME update: The website finally has a proper login system - no more registering every year! Long overdue but so worth the wait.

I've extracted Radish effect system into its own standalone package. Create - Effects & Handlers that can be sync, async, total, partial - Powerful Patterns: delegation, dynamic decoration, effect observation - AsyncState (like AsyncContext but more powerful) - Snapshots jsr.io/@radish/effe...

Here's why we need the upcoming AsyncContext API in #JavaScript What do you think is the result of [1,2,3].map(asyncDouble)? Imagine that on a server...

Today marks the 10th anniversary of the #react mental model UI = f(state) Here's the oldest post about it: www.kn8.lt/blog/ui-is-a... Did you know there's now a brand new approach that generalises this mental model in exciting new directions? github.com/radishland/r...

Here's a lightweight overview for the new #fullstack mental model. We generalise the UI = f(state, data) formula (see @danabra.mov's post for a refresher overreacted.io/the-two-reac...) Fullstack = handle effects github.com/radishland/r...

Let's pause for a minute and appreciate that we're living in the golden era of the #web platform Never been this vibrant with features bursting out in HTML, CSS & JS I'm grateful to everyone working hard to make this happen Special thanks to @nerdy.dev for the inspiration, energy and hard work! 💙

Doing form validation for the web? Definitely consider formgator by @gautier.dev: - native support for FormData and URLSearchParams - inferred types in line with HTMLElement interfaces - reliable single source of truth - first-class integration with #svelte kit github.com/GauBen/formg...

Had a major breakthrough on the mathematical structure of #fullstack apps! 🤯 This could simplify the mental model and reasoning in #webdev and improve code quality. Will share a full write-up soon.

Pretty overwhelming that intelligence was the easy problem in the end, solved by #AI with reasoning as an emergent aspect of token generation. We're left solving the dual (hard?) problem of wisdom for all, since as Rabelais warned (1532): "Science without conscience is but the ruin of the soul."

Just realized the "bottom" symbol for non-terminaison in CS (⊥) literally represents your computer giving you the middle finger. "Your loop will not stop... ⊥"

Really cool to see @t3.gg's excitement for Effect! The broader context here is the theory of algebraic effects, which has been gaining traction in fp circles in recent years. youtu.be/Y6jT-IkV0VM?...

I love using @esm.sh for browser importmaps! - Handles npm, jsr and GitHub registries - Checks the User-Agent to serve the right ES version (es2022, etc) – no bloat! - Supports tree-shaking, so you can import just what you need

The first @svelte.dev Meetup in Paris is finally here, and it's happening next Thursday, March 27th 🎉 Super excited about the growing #Svelte ecosystem in Paris. See y'all there! www.meetup.com/svelte-paris...

Just massively improved the SoME archive page performance! Before: 582 requests, 59MB resources, 30.7s finish time 🐌 After: 104 requests, 1.9MB resources, 766ms finish time ⚡️ That's a 40x speed boost! Secret weapon? The lite-youtube web component #WebPerformance #SoME

I have just released the first version of Chachalog! It's a modern approach to changelog creation and release publishing. It is inspired by the Changesets workflow.

the Radish #WebComponents framework is getting better! This week rad updates: - directives work across shadow roots - new @bool directive for boolean attributes - declarative <radish:head> element - speculation rules - auto-import your modules and more... github.com/radishland/r...

Radish #WebComponents framework rad improvements of the week: - switched to preact signals - deep reactivity helper - #nobuild importmap generation - with full control via transform hook - dynamic segments /[id], optional groups /book{s}?, regex matchers /[id=number] github.com/radishland/r...

Just migrated the Summer of Math Exposition site to #Svelte 5, the migration experience was nice!

I'm building a full-stack framework around #WebComponents, here's the manifesto: - No custom DSL - TypeScript - SSR - Reactive directives - Near-zero build step - Escape js toolchain entropy - Less migration hell - Powered by @deno.land - Disappearing framework github.com/radishjs/rad...

Great blog on the intricacies of whitespace in #html by @develwithoutacause.dwac.dev blog.dwac.dev/posts/html-w... This inspired me to improve the monarch/html parser. Thanks! github.com/fcrozatier/m...
