Had the opposite experience. It seems intuitive and a step forward making the API clearer. It also eliminates a bunch of potential footguns at the same time.

Always gotta be someone like you in the crowd eh?

Perhaps, just perhaps it's a good change for a lot of people?

Both of those are coupled to React/JSX unless I'm mistaken.

The reason we've chosen DaisyUI (which seems similar to Hyper) is that its framework independent and just uses CSS (no JS) as our team uses Svelte/SvelteKit.

In my experience this gives you more flexibility while still giving you a lot of the common UI boilerplate you need to scaffold apps quickly.

Being able to use a single component library across UI frameworks is a huge advantage.

Care to expand on this? Component props seem quite straightforward where I stand and Typescript support has improved drastically over the preceding months

I can't tell if you're just trolling or you're trying to make a point that Bitcoin actually uses no energy which, unless you do some crazy mental gymnastics, is quite a bizarre perspective to hold.

And please explain how my question is ignorant but the stance you're taking isn't?

Do serious bitcoin supports really believe this nonsense?

Some thoughts for how I approach structuring React applications. I'd love to hear any feedback/suggestions and hear how everyone else chooses to structure their applications!

Very cool concepts and makes me want to check out the project again.

That said it sounds like you're basically concluding "don't test components" in your testing section, that can't be the conclusion right? I'm still confused how you would approach testing a "view()" wrapper component since you now can't inject mocks as props for your store but instead use direct imports.

Suggestions on how to do this simply?

Thanks! I do really like the idea of turning my notes/bookmarks into a blog for various reasons. The micro blogs on topics is a cool idea too

I use OneTab too in the same way. I guess the part that is missing for me is that it is only for links and that the content just disappears and I end up with a huge backlog. It is a cool tool tho!

Ask HN: What do you use to keep track of bookmarks/notes/snippets?

danaw — Sat, 04 Apr 2020 13:35:24 +0000

I’m curious as to the tools or techniques people use to keep track of things like bookmarks, snippets of code or text, etc.?

I’ve used a variety of tools (simple browser bookmarks, Pinboard, Evernote, a text file, etc) but have never been very happy with any of the solutions.

Anyone have great tools or methods of storing bits of info for later access?

I’m thinking something that at a minimum has:

- Search

- Tagging

- Support for different content types (links, text, video embeds, photos, etc)

- Also would be nice to have mobile app, browser extension, API, Zappier integration, etc

Any suggestions?

Looks like a great product, will checkout!

Curious, how do you do your change log? Is it automated or do you just update a page/doc?
