Of course, and if you use all these services you can be a pedantic ass who never has to actually ship a product.

A lot of these tools, like React, are designed to embrace, extend extinguish the web. Why Microslop and Zuckerberg spend millions of dollars of dark PR claiming anyone who doesn't like React doesn't know what's going on is because it makes the web worse and less useful, which means you spend more time talking to Co-Pilot or bots on Facebook.

I don't understand how having to pay 20 different vendors so hackers can run commands on your server barely impeded is somehow simpler.

I love the web. I hate what the React cretins have done to it.

Embrace Extend Extinguish is real, and the people going along with it deserve to be replaced by a LLM that lies and spits out garbage code just like they do but faster.

Because before there was AI Slop, there was React.

Too little, too late. I'd rather have a consistent, dumber model than sometimes excellent but often miserable Claude.

Staying with Claude is like going back to the restaurant where you got food poisoning: you kinda get what you deserve next time you get sick.

A feature of ES6 I really like are custom HTML components: https://lindseymysse.com/blog/2025/04/23/custom-html-element...

For a lot of internal and personal projects I use a combination of custom HTML elements with XSLT: https://lindseymysse.com/x-s-l-t/

Still requires Javascript, but makes writing HTML a lot more fun.

There's a way to fix this political bias: feed it a bunch of bad code

Oooh, or an Obsidian competitor that doesn't take 10 minutes to boot.

Some notetaking app would be amazing

First: I love your software, it is such an inspiration. I have been a fan for more than a decade at a point.

There are two pieces of software I would love you to implement, and I would buy both:

1. Spreadsheet App 2. An AI aware editor like Cursor that uses DeepSeek or equivalent. You could sell a subscription to it like Cursor also.

I think you could make both of these sing.

My dream is to have a device about the form factor of a Flipper Zero (with the same buttons) that I can then plug into a e-ink monitor and mechanical keyboard to turn it into a text editor.

I have built a few prototypes with Raspberry Pi Zeros, which are luxurious web servers -- 512mb of ram, capable of utilizing a 2tb sd card.

If AI images destroy advertising and marketing as industries I'm all for them. Maybe then we could have an economy based on designing, manufacturing and producing goods and services.
